Senior Software Engineer - Hybrid

Arpio • Research Triangle Park, NC

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

This role is hybrid in our Durham, NC office 2-3 days/week. Please note that we unfortunately cannot sponsor H1B visas at this time. Aprio participates in the US Government's eVerify Program. Who We Are Modern enterprises run their most critical applications in complex, cloud-native environments, and the threats keep multiplying: outages, ransomware, bad actors, human error. Most disaster recovery tools stop at backing up data. We’ve built the next generation of cloud resiliency and disaster recovery for AWS and Azure with an automated, application-aware platform that recovers a company's entire application stack, not isolated resources, in under an hour. We protect production workloads for enterprises that cut across multiple industries like healthcare, financial services, and SaaS — the kind of companies that can't afford downtime. At Arpio, we believe great companies are built by people who take ownership, move with urgency, and consistently deliver results. We just closed our $15M Series A to expand into new clouds and build out our roadmap, which means we're growing the team right now, and your work will directly shape where we go next. This isn't simply another job. It's an opportunity to help build a company. About the Role As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll work on the platform that enterprises trust to keep them running through outages, ransomware attacks, and human error. You'll design and build the systems that replicate live cloud environments, keep a low-cost 'pilot light' continuously synchronized with production, and execute one-click failover that meets aggressive RTO and RPO targets. This is deep, cloud-native work: you'll spend your days reasoning about distributed systems, cloud provider APIs, and the failure modes that only show up when something has actually gone wrong. We build our backend in Python and our front end in Angular. The bar is high, because when a customer invokes Arpio, our software simply has to work. You'll join a team where your decisions carry real weight. There's room to own meaningful pieces of the product end to end, shape technical direction, and grow alongside a company that's expanding its footprint across cloud providers.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and operating production systems.
• Hands-on experience building on at least one major cloud provider (AWS or Azure preferred; GCP, Oracle, or others welcome).
• Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, concurrency, and the realities of operating software at scale.
• A pragmatic, well-tested approach to writing code. Our stack is Python and Angular; deep experience in either is a plus, but we expect strong engineers to ramp on a new language or framework quickly.
• Comfort working close to infrastructure: APIs, networking, and the operational behavior of cloud services, not just application logic on top of them.
• Strong written and verbal communication; you can explain a tricky design clearly and disagree productively.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate core platform services that replicate and recover complex cloud environments with speed and precision.
• Develop and extend Arpio's application-aware orchestration engine, mapping dependencies and recovering entire application stacks.
• Work directly against cloud provider APIs (AWS and Azure today), building robust abstractions that absorb their differences and edge cases.
• Build for failure: design systems that behave correctly during outages and degraded conditions, since that's exactly when our customers rely on them.
• Own features end to end, from design and implementation through testing, deployment, monitoring, and support.
• Contribute to the reliability, scalability, and security of a fully-managed SaaS platform that protects enterprise production workloads.
• Raise the engineering bar through thoughtful code review, technical design discussions, and mentorship of other engineers.

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Arpio will cover 100% of your personal medical premiums
• 100% of your life insurance premium
• 75% of your personal premiums for vision and dental
• For your dependents, Arpio will cover 75% of medical, dental, and vision premiums.
• For fully remote employees, a $125 home office stipend or $250 company-subsidized co-working membership
• Unlimited PTO
• Small, collaborative team environment
• Opportunity to work on the cutting edge of cloud technology
