About The Position

Enterprise AI is moving from pilots to production, and the constraint is no longer the model — it's the data. Agents are only as good as what they can sense, trust, and act on in the moment, and real-time, event-driven data is becoming the foundation every serious AI system runs on. Solace is the leading platform for the enterprise AI era. Established enterprises worldwide — including RBC Capital Markets, Bosch, Heineken, PSA Singapore, United Airlines, Schwarz Group, and hundreds more — have built their business around Solace to enable intelligent, real-time experiences, modernize their application and integration landscape, and create seamless digital journeys for their customers, partners, and employees. So, the next time you drive a car, order furniture online, fly in a plane, check your bank balance on your phone, your positive experience could be a direct result of our technology—and your hard work! This is a Full-Stack Software Developer role aimed at new graduates and early-career developers ready to build their careers on a high-impact platform team. You'll join Launchpad, the team that builds the tools and automation behind deploying Solace brokers across public clouds and self-managed environments, running upgrades safely at scale, and keeping the operations behind Solace Cloud running smoothly. You'll work in an AI-integrated development environment from day one — pairing with AI coding assistants like Claude Code to learn faster, write better code, and ship more. If you're excited about combining full-stack development with Kubernetes, cloud, and modern AI-assisted workflows, we want to hear from you.
