Senior Software Engineer (Platform), United States

AutogenAI • New York, NY

4h • $150,000 - $200,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

As a Software Engineer on the Platform team at AutogenAI, you will work on a combination of application infrastructure and developer infrastructure challenges to make our product and product team go faster 🚀 This can include many topics; improving auth/RBAC, building feature flag tooling to facilitate rollout of new features, spotting re-usable tooling and packaging it, or transitioning our repositories to a monorepo to improve build times.
This role is a mix of traditional backend software engineering work and platform engineering work, where you’ll help with supporting some of our US-specific infrastructure while contributing to the application development. You will be joining a global team of DevOps Engineers and Software Engineers. This is an ideal role for a backend-focused software engineer who wants to upskill and move closer to SRE/DevOps work.
While a lot of the work has a focus on improving things behind the scenes, we are expecting to play a key role in the business this year as more enterprise customers onboard and require platform changes to effectively integrate with them – so there are many opportunities ahead to have direct business impact through this role

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years working on technical projects, building and shipping features
• Technical Skills: fluency in a programming language (ideally TypeScript/Python - we’re flexible though); proficiency with relational databases
• Some Experience in Platform Infrastructure: knowledge and eagerness to upskill on Kubernetes, helmcharts, Docker, aws commands (or equivalent in the cloud provider you have used), and scripting
• US Citizens + Background Check: our US-specific platform requires this

Nice To Haves

• SRE/DevOps Experience: if you’ve worked in these capacities before, awesome
• Onsite Presence: We have a NY Office in Midtown. While we don’t mandate office days, the sales team there loves getting face time with engineers so it’s a big bonus if you’re eager to come in!

Responsibilities

• Supporting our US-specific infrastructure as part of a team: A lot of our engineering functions are based in the UK, but we have US-specific hosting requirements due to our FedRAMP High authorization. This means we need folks onshore in the USA to support this. This is a strategic business focus for the company. To this end, you’ll be part of an oncall rotation for this environment.
• Building and maintaining application infrastructure: This is the layer of the product that isn’t tied to a specific feature, but impacts the whole product – e.g. auth, RBAC, logging, monitoring. You will work closely within your team to make major improvements and changes to the application infrastructure.
• Improving the developer experience at AutogenAI: This encompasses deployment pipelines, local/remote development tooling, and anything that might improve the developer experience. This will be a combination of planned major improvements, and ad hoc improvements that you might spot and implement in an agile way.
• Collaborating with the wider engineering team: you will have a lot of autonomy in this role to suggest the next improvements to implement; this means you should be building ties with the wider engineering team so you can figure out what might help them. You will collaborate with them through joint projects, troubleshooting, and knowledge sharing.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary: $150,000 - $200,000 depending on specific experience and qualifications relevant to the role.
• Stock Options: Meaningful equity in the company.
• Comprehensive medical/dental/life insurance: Insurance coverage for individuals and families partially paid by the company as well as opportunity to participate in pre-tax health Flexible Spending Account.
• Retirement Plan: Ability to invest your pre-tax dollars in a 401(k) retirement plan with company matching contributions.
• Paid Time Off: Unlimited vacation (Yes, you read right!)
• Flexible Work Options: Hybrid working, with 2 days per week in our buzzing NYC Midtown office
• Paid parental leave: 16 weeks if you’ve just given birth, 4 weeks if your partner has just given birth (after one year of year of service)
• Additional Perks: Your choice of laptop (Mac or Windows), regular company events to connect with teammates, and opportunities for continued professional development.
