About this role
Employer-provided description, formatted for easier reading.
We're looking for a motivated Software Engineer to join our team and help build and operate reliable, secure, and scalable cloud platforms and services. In this role, you'll develop software and automation that support production systems, Kubernetes platforms, cloud infrastructure, observability, analytics, and emerging AI/ML workloads.
You'll combine software engineering skills with reliability engineering principles to improve how our platforms are built, deployed, monitored, and operated. You'll work alongside experienced engineers, architects, SREs, and AI/ML teams to solve technical challenges and continuously improve our systems.
The ideal candidate has a strong software engineering foundation, enjoys solving problems through code and automation, and is interested in cloud technologies, Kubernetes, reliability engineering, analytics, and AI.
Software Development
Design, develop, test, and maintain software, services, APIs, tools, and automation using languages such as Python and Go.
Cloud & Platform Engineering
Build and improve cloud-native services and platform capabilities across production and non-production environments.
Kubernetes
Deploy, operate, and troubleshoot applications and services running on Kubernetes. Develop automation that simplifies deployment and platform operations.
Reliability
Apply reliability engineering practices to improve system availability, performance, scalability, and operational efficiency.
Automation
Identify repetitive operational activities and develop software and automation to reduce manual effort and operational toil.
Observability
Use logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, and alerts to understand system behavior, troubleshoot issues, and identify opportunities for improvement.
Analytics
Analyze operational and application data to identify trends, anomalies, recurring issues, and performance bottlenecks. Develop dashboards and reporting that provide actionable insights.
AI/ML Infrastructure
Support infrastructure and platform capabilities for AI/ML training, LLM inference, and GPU-based workloads. Develop automation to simplify deployment and operation of these environments.
AI-Assisted Engineering
Explore and apply LLMs and AI technologies to improve software development, troubleshooting, analytics, automation, and operational workflows.
Scale & Resilience
Participate in capacity planning, performance testing, scale testing, and disaster recovery exercises.
Continuous Improvement
Identify opportunities to improve platform reliability, developer experience, automation, and operational processes.
Documentation
Create and maintain technical documentation, operational procedures, troubleshooting guides, and runbooks.
Collaboration
Work closely with software engineering, platform, SRE, QA, AI/ML, security, architecture, and program management teams.
Software Engineering
