About the Role

The Parallax Cloud team builds the communication fabric that enables secure and reliable exchange of live state and commands between vehicles, mobile apps, and cloud services. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will develop and manage services and APIs that abstract away messaging, routing, and authorization complexities for product teams. This hands-on platform role involves solving distributed systems challenges, diagnosing failures across the entire stack, and guiding changes from design to production.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and operate cloud services and gRPC/Protobuf APIs for product teams to read vehicle state, subscribe to changes, and send commands.
Operate and tune NATS, including configuration, upgrades, troubleshooting, performance validation, and capacity planning.
Own services end-to-end, from implementation through deployment and production operation, using Kubernetes, GitOps/Argo CD, and infrastructure as code.
Diagnose production behavior using metrics, traces, logs, dashboards, and alerts.
Design, operate, and tune service networking, load balancers, and L4/L7 traffic routing.
Develop and run end-to-end, integration, and load tests to prevent functional and performance regressions.

Requirements

Minimum 5 years of software engineering experience focused on distributed systems, high-scale backend services, or streaming and messaging platforms.
Strong proficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language and willingness to work primarily in Go, with occasional work in Java and TypeScript client SDKs.
Practical experience building and operating production services, including observability and troubleshooting.
Solid foundations in API design, networking, concurrency, and distributed systems with working knowledge of Kubernetes.
Hands-on experience with high-throughput messaging systems such as NATS, Kafka, or MQTT.
Experience with Kubernetes and owning service deployments; familiarity with GitOps/Argo CD and infrastructure as code.
Strong knowledge of HTTP/2, TCP, L4/L7 load balancing along with experience operating gRPC services in production is a major plus.
Familiarity with mTLS, certificates, service identity, secure transport and authentication patterns.
Track record of maintaining or making contributions to established open-source projects.
