Senior Software Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• 8+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production systems in cloud environments, including microservices, platforms, or distributed systems
• Strong proficiency in Go — you write production-quality code, review it critically, and ramp quickly on large, unfamiliar codebases
• Deep, hands-on Kubernetes experience from a builder's perspective: you've written operators, controllers, and CRDs in real-world, multi-tenant environments — not just operated clusters others built
• Solid understanding of AWS fundamentals (EC2, IAM, networking) and how Kubernetes platforms behave and scale on AWS
• Proven experience owning production systems under real SLOs, including participating in on-call and leading incident response with a focus on root cause and long-term fixes
• You ramp fast on complex, unfamiliar systems — forming a mental model and making meaningful contributions within weeks
• Highly self-directed builder mindset: you identify high-impact problems, propose solutions, and drive them end-to-end without waiting for direction
• Strong systems thinking — you naturally connect design decisions to their downstream impact on scalability, reliability, and operability in production
• Clear and effective communicator, able to collaborate with engineers on design, architecture, and tradeoffs

Nice To Haves

• Experience with HyperShift, OpenShift, or ROSA in production environments
• Familiarity with multi-tenant Kubernetes challenges such as noisy neighbors, control plane scaling, and fleet-level lifecycle management
• Contributions to open source projects, particularly in the Kubernetes ecosystem
• Experience designing and operating observability at scale (Prometheus, Grafana, Dynatrace, or similar) across large fleets
• Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., coding agents, AI-driven code review, spec-driven workflows) to accelerate development and improve quality

Responsibilities

• Contribute production-grade software to upstream open source projects including HyperShift and OpenShift, owning features end-to-end from design and implementation through deployment and long-term lifecycle in production
• Bring a product and systems lens to architecture decisions, ensuring designs account for scalability, operability, and real-world production constraints from the start
• Operate as a full-stack systems owner, participating in on-call rotations and taking end-to-end responsibility for diagnosing, fixing, and preventing production issues
• Drive improvements that eliminate entire classes of failures by turning operational learning into durable product and platform enhancements
• Design and evolve observability (metrics, logs, traces) and SLOs as part of the software lifecycle, ensuring systems are measurable, debuggable, and resilient by design
• Raise the technical bar across the team through design docs, code review, pairing, and knowledge transfer during complex engineering work and incidents
• Work in a high-autonomy engineering team where you identify the most impactful problems and lead them from concept through implementation and production adoption
• Partner as a peer with product and platform engineering teams to influence architecture, challenge assumptions, and ensure systems are built for scale, reliability, and long-term operability
• Integrate AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) into daily workflows for design, implementation, and debugging — using human judgment to maintain high engineering standards while increasing delivery velocity and system quality
