About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale our platform to meet growing demand from the world’s largest engineering companies. This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll deliver critical features and services across the full software lifecycle – from design and testing to deployment, operations, and reliability. You’ll contribute to our platform’s evolution to a more distributed architecture, helping make it agentic ready for the next generation of AI applications.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the ongoing transition from monolithic to distributed architecture.
- Help design and implement architecture to be agentic ready, enabling rapid deployment of AI products and MCP server integrations.
- Make sound technical decisions for the components you own, balancing immediate needs with long-term goals.
- Write production-quality Python code for critical platform components.
- Build and optimize distributed compute services.
- Implement reliable workflow orchestration patterns.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment for platform services.
- Support reliability, observability, and SRE practices (monitoring, alerting, incident response, performance and scaling).
- Support and mentor engineers, sharing knowledge across the team.
- Follow and help improve engineering best practices and patterns.
- Collaborate with product and engineering peers to turn requirements into technical solutions.
- Contribute to technical decision-making and prioritization within your team.
- Interview and onboard new engineers.
Requirements
- 6+ years of software engineering experience.
- Solid software engineering breadth across deployment and CI/CD, automated testing, and production reliability (observability, incident response).
- Experience with distributed systems, building and operating backend services end-to-end.
- Experience designing APIs and service interfaces.
- Security-minded development, including authentication/authorization (e.g., OAuth) and secure-by-default practices.
- Strong Python development skills with production experience.
- Experience with Kubernetes in production.
- Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (Temporal, Airflow, Kubeflow, or similar).
- Cloud platform experience (AWS preferred, Azure & GCP a plus).
- Familiarity with data processing frameworks (Spark, Athena, Ray, or similar) a plus.
- Strong technical communication and collaboration skills.
- You write clean, maintainable code and design systems that scale.
- You care about testing, deployments, and what happens after code ships – reliability, monitoring, and on-call health.
- You balance perfectionism with shipping, making smart trade-offs between short-term delivery and long-term goals.
- You proactively identify problems and drive solutions forward.
- You elevate others through knowledge sharing and patient guidance.
- You take full responsibility for outcomes and drive initiatives to completion.
- You understand that our success is measured by our customers’ success.
- This position requires access to export controlled information. Applicant must be a U.S. person or eligible to access export controlled information without authorization.
