About The Position
The Sr. Software Engineer is responsible for independently developing and consistently redesigning/refactoring a product to adapt to our customers and associates needs. As a Sr. Software Engineer, you will be part of a dynamic team with engineers of all experience levels who help each other build and grow technical and leadership skills while creating, deploying, and supporting production applications. In addition, Sr. Software Engineers may be involved in product and tool selection, configuration, security, resilience, performance tuning and production monitoring as well as mentoring less experienced engineers. As a Senior Systems Engineer on our Developer Operations Platform Engineering team, you will design, operationalize, and scale critical infrastructure supporting enterprise Data Center and Supply Chain platforms. Qualified candidates will have, or be expected to obtain, deep technical expertise in container orchestration and application platforms, specifically Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes, and Cloud Foundry / VMware Tanzu Application Services (TAS).

Additionally, you will maintain robust observability across our platforms by implementing and fine-tuning Prometheus for metrics collection, Grafana for Observability, and Fluentbit for log stream processing. Strong experience in high-availability platform architecture, infrastructure-as-code, operational troubleshooting, and enterprise supply chain service resiliency is required to maintain mission-critical uptime across hybrid environments. Rotational on-call will also be required.
