About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Platform team. The team works across all Posit products, working on common engineering services and cloud deployments. This is a high-leverage team that can impact many people and customers. You’ll primarily be developing new features for our new metrics aggregation service, Chronicle, which helps customers understand key usage indicators within Posit products. Development is done in Go, and we are looking for a strong Go developer with Linux familiarity to help with our work. The Chronicle system utilizes OpenTelemetry and our products are integrating more deeply with it to expand our metrics-gathering capabilities, so experience here is a plus. Our teams take ownership over ensuring quality of their work. You will participate in test automation and environment management, so experience with automated testing and IaC tools such as Pulumi or Terraform are a huge plus. We are looking to add someone who is versatile in many areas of back-end software development and able to change gears between a few different projects within this role as needed. We encourage the usage of AI tools in our work, and would love to work with you to integrate them more into our workflows and development practices and continue to explore new possibilities in this space.

Requirements

Software development best practices. We are looking to expand the development expertise on this team, and you will help us learn the key tools and best practices for working with Go, even if it is not your primary programming language.

Nice To Haves

We could especially use your knowledge in OpenTelemetry, infrastructure, or test automation. But whatever it is, we expect we'll find more things that you've done that help us learn more.

Responsibilities

Development and delivery of key metric collection, aggregation and reporting capabilities. You will receive help from the team on this, but we want you to own the implementation details. As you gain knowledge here, we want you to be able to design, develop, and maintain key features across Chronicle, such as adding new product metrics, refining new reporting and data collection capabilities, and other areas as the product grows.
Guiding Chronicle projects through the full software development lifecycle from planning through support. You will work with the product owner and the team to craft user stories, ensure alignment with user needs, foster collaboration, and define clear acceptance criteria. You will also engage with our customers via our asynchronous support channels to continuously improve the products by taking customer feedback into consideration.
Prioritization of enhancements and bug-fixes to ensure that we are always delivering the most value to our customers.
Improving the development process to ensure that it is a seamless and enjoyable experience for all members of the team.
Improving our build automation and delivery pipelines to improve our build and release cadences.
