Senior Software Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of building and operating production systems.
• Strong proficiency in at least one backend programming language, such as Go, Java, Python, or Kotlin.
• Hands-on experience designing and operating distributed systems at scale.
• Practical experience with observability platforms and technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, ELK, or equivalent solutions.
• Strong understanding of metrics, logs, traces, alerting, service-level indicators, service-level objectives, and incident management.
• Experience with cloud-native environments, Kubernetes, containers, and public cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Experience with infrastructure as code and automated software delivery, using tools such as Terraform and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong system design and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make sound technical decisions in complex and ambiguous environments.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to work effectively with globally distributed engineering teams.
• An ownership mindset and commitment to improving systems rather than simply treating symptoms.

Nice To Haves

• Experience building observability platforms or internal developer platforms used by multiple engineering teams.
• Experience with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, Loki, Tempo, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, Kafka, or similar technologies.
• Experience designing high-volume telemetry ingestion, storage, querying, aggregation, and retention systems.
• Familiarity with SRE practices, including on-call operations, incident response, postmortems, runbooks, and error budgets.
• Experience with service meshes, Kubernetes operators, or large-scale microservice platforms.
• Contributions to observability, cloud infrastructure, reliability, or open-source projects.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate highly scalable observability platforms for metrics, logs, traces, events, alerting, dashboards, and service health.
• Develop reliable software and platform capabilities that help engineering teams instrument, monitor, and troubleshoot services with minimal friction.
• Establish and evolve standards for telemetry collection, instrumentation, alert quality, SLOs, SLIs, service ownership, and operational readiness.
• Improve incident detection, diagnosis, and response with actionable alerts, intelligent correlation, service dependency visibility, and effective runbooks.
• Build self-service tools and paved paths that make observability best practices easy for engineers to adopt.
• Partner with application, infrastructure, SRE, security, and product teams to understand operational challenges and deliver durable solutions.
• Improve the scalability, reliability, performance, and cost efficiency of observability systems across multiple regions and environments.
• Participate in design reviews, technical planning, code reviews, incident response, and post-incident learning.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to a culture of ownership, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.
