Software Engineer

Role Overview

• Build, test, deploy, and maintain backend services and platform capabilities
• Develop and integrate APIs using established service and architecture patterns
• Work with relational data stores and contribute to reliable data access and service integration patterns
• Contribute to event-driven and asynchronous workflows, including message-based processing and background jobs
• Run and support services across cloud and platform environments, including managed cloud services, containers, virtual machines, and other runtime models
• Use CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code workflows to deliver changes safely and repeatably
• Use logs, metrics, and traces to understand application behavior and diagnose production issues
• Participate in technical design discussions, ADRs, RFCs, and code reviews, asking questions and contributing practical implementation feedback
• Own defined areas of work and collaborate with more experienced engineers on broader architectural or cross-team decisions
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools to speed up development, improve testing, explore codebases, and investigate technical problems

Requirements

• Solid software engineering fundamentals and hands-on experience building backend services or web platforms
• Go is preferred for many modern platform services, but strong experience with another backend language is equally relevant if you can learn new technologies quickly
• Building and integrating HTTP APIs, particularly REST-based services
• Working with RPC or service-to-service communication patterns; experience with gRPC is a plus
• Relational databases and SQL, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL
• Writing readable, maintainable, and testable code
• Unit and integration testing, debugging, and safe production changes
• Version control and collaborative Git-based development workflows
• Practical exposure to public cloud or modern platform environments
• Experience with either GCP or AWS is valuable
• Core cloud concepts around compute, networking, storage, identity, and managed services
• Operating applications in at least one public cloud environment, preferably GCP or AWS
• Containers and Docker
• Basic orchestration concepts; practical Kubernetes experience is useful but not required to be expert level
• Infrastructure as Code concepts and working with existing Terraform modules or similar tooling
• Experience with services such as Pub/Sub, IAM, Cloud SQL, GKE, EC2, S3, or equivalent cloud services is useful
• Understanding the fundamentals of distributed systems and having practical exposure to at least some event-driven and message-based systems
• Asynchronous processing and background workflows
• Participating in production incident investigation and root-cause analysis
