Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Platform Full Time NEW

This role is a high-impact opportunity within a modern engineering organization focused on building and scaling the foundational cloud infrastructure that powers large-scale, transaction-heavy systems.

You will design and evolve cloud-native platforms that enable developers to ship faster, safer, and with greater autonomy across the organization.

The work spans cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes ecosystems, CI/CD automation, and developer experience tooling, with a strong emphasis on reliability, scalability, and security.

You will collaborate closely with product, data, and engineering teams to translate platform needs into robust, self-service capabilities.

A key part of the role involves driving operational excellence through observability, SLOs, incident response, and continuous system improvement.

The environment is fast-paced, highly collaborative, and deeply technical, with a strong culture of ownership and continuous learning.

Accountabilities

• Design, build, and evolve scalable cloud platform infrastructure on GCP and Kubernetes to support high-throughput, mission-critical systems.
• Develop and maintain self-service developer platforms, including CI/CD pipelines, deployment systems, and infrastructure automation.
• Drive reliability engineering practices by defining SLOs, improving observability, and participating in on-call rotations and incident response.
• Architect and implement secure, cost-efficient, and highly available cloud solutions with strong focus on networking, IAM, and system resilience.
• Improve developer experience by streamlining build, deployment, and release processes to reduce friction and failure rates.
• Lead technical initiatives around platform modernization, infrastructure-as-code, and GitOps-based workflows.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex distributed systems issues, delivering long-term, scalable fixes.

Requirements

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong focus on cloud platform or infrastructure engineering.
• Deep expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with additional experience in AWS or other cloud providers.
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes at scale, including cluster operations and architecture design.
• Proficiency in software development using languages such as Python, Go, Java, or TypeScript.
• Strong background in Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) and GitOps-driven CI/CD systems (ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, TeamCity).
• Experience designing and operating distributed systems, including databases and streaming technologies (e.g., Kafka, PostgreSQL).
• Solid understanding of cloud networking, security best practices, and system reliability principles.
• Experience with observability tooling and frameworks (e.g., OpenTelemetry) and reducing MTTR through monitoring improvements.
• Strong analytical thinking, communication skills, and ability to work cross-functionally in a collaborative environment.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated code.
• Preferred: experience mentoring engineers, driving platform strategy, and contributing to developer productivity improvements.

Benefits

• Competitive US salary with location-based pay tiers ($150,000 – $190,000 base range depending on location)
• Annual performance bonus (up to 10% of base salary)
• Equity compensation via stock option grants
• Unlimited discretionary time off policy
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match
• Paid parental leave (12 weeks)
• Flexible remote work environment within the United States
• Learning and development budget for professional growth
• Mental health and therapy support for employees and dependents
• Life, disability, and supplemental insurance coverage
• Employee wellness programs and company-wide social events.
