Software Developer, Distributed Systems / Container Management Full Time

AUTOSOL is seeking a software developer with expertise in distributed systems and container technologies to help build and enhance our centralized application deployment and fleet management platform. This role focuses on solving complex challenges around large-scale application deployment, configuration management, secure communication, and operation in intermittently connected industrial networks. You will join a product-aligned agile team that owns the solution end-to-end, including Go backend services, Angular-based UI, and deployment tooling.

This is a specialist posting: you’ll be hired into our standard Software Developer ladder (level set by experience and demonstrated skill), with your distributed-systems expertise filling a targeted gap on the team.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement fleet-management capabilities in Go: container lifecycle management (deploy, upgrade, rollback, health), centralized configuration distribution, and desired-state reconciliation across many remote nodes.
• Build for disconnected and degraded operation: customer edge networks where nodes are intermittently reachable and management decisions must be safe under partition.
• Design the APIs and agent/server communication that coordinate a distributed fleet securely: authentication, authorization, and audit across trust boundaries.
• Implement observability for the fleet: status aggregation, health rollups, and the data behind the application’s single-pane-of-glass console.
• Integrate with container runtimes and registries (Docker, JFrog Artifactory) for image distribution and verification.
• Collaborate with AUTOSOL product development as the application deploys and configures the whole AUTOSOL application suite.
• Participate fully in your team’s sprint ceremonies and own features from refinement through production.
• Contribute across the product stack (UI, backend, deployment) over time, in line with our whole-product team model.

Our Stack

• Languages: Go (backend), TypeScript/Angular (UI)
• Delivery: Docker containers (customer edge/on-prem), cloud-hosted components (Azure/AWS), traditional installers
• Tooling: Azure Pipelines (CI/CD), JFrog Artifactory, Atlassian suite (Bitbucket, Jira, Confluence)

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands-on experience building distributed systems: state reconciliation, consensus or coordination patterns, fault tolerance, and partition-safe design.
• Strong working knowledge of container internals and tooling. Docker required; experience with orchestrators (Kubernetes, Nomad) or having built deployment/agent tooling is a strong plus.
• Strong programming skills in Go (preferred), or systems experience in another language with a willingness to work in Go.
• Experience designing and securing APIs and agent-based architectures.
• Experience operating software on Linux; Windows familiarity is a plus.
• Exposure to edge computing, OT environments, or managing software fleets outside the data center is a strong plus.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
