About the role

This is where your organization can create a consistent intro to all of your jobs, creating consistency in voice and messaging across all job posts

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Platform team and help build the systems, services, and tooling that power product development at scale. In this role, you will design and deliver foundational platform capabilities that improve reliability, security, developer experience, and speed across the engineering organization.

You will work across teams to solve complex technical problems, shape architecture, and create reusable systems that enable product engineers to move faster with confidence. This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys backend engineering, distributed systems, infrastructure-adjacent development, and driving technical improvements with broad impact.

What you will do

Design, build, and maintain scalable platform services, internal tools, and shared infrastructure used across multiple product teams

Improve system reliability, observability, performance, and operational efficiency across critical backend systems

Partner with product engineering, security, data, and infrastructure teams to define platform standards and deliver shared capabilities

Lead technical design for large and ambiguous projects, balancing speed, maintainability, and long-term architecture

Write high-quality, well-tested code and raise the engineering bar through thoughtful reviews and technical mentorship

Identify opportunities to reduce developer friction through better tooling, automation, self-service workflows, and platform abstractions

Support production systems, investigate incidents, and contribute to a strong culture of operational excellence

Help drive engineering best practices in areas such as service design, API development, monitoring, resiliency, and release processes

What we are looking for

5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful experience in backend or platform engineering

Strong proficiency in one or more modern programming languages such as Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, or similar

Experience designing and operating distributed systems, APIs, and services in cloud-based environments

Solid understanding of system design, scalability, reliability, security, and performance tradeoffs

Experience with developer platforms, internal tooling, CI/CD systems, infrastructure automation, or service frameworks

Comfort working across technical boundaries and influencing engineering decisions beyond your immediate team

Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, especially in production environments

Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear recommendations

A collaborative approach and a track record of mentoring engineers and contributing to healthy engineering culture

Nice to have

Experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, infrastructure as code, or cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure

Experience improving developer experience through platform investments, paved roads, or shared tooling

Familiarity with observability tooling, incident management, and service-level reliability practices

Experience with data-intensive systems, event-driven architectures, or multi-service environments

Prior experience on a platform, infrastructure, developer productivity, or site reliability engineering team

What success looks like

You build platform capabilities that are widely adopted and measurably improve engineering velocity and reliability

You make thoughtful technical decisions that scale well as the organization and product grow

You help teams solve hard backend problems without overcomplicating the solution

You elevate the quality of systems and engineering practices through strong technical leadership and execution

Why join us

You will have the opportunity to work on high-impact technical challenges that shape how engineering gets done across the company. This role is ideal for someone who wants to combine hands-on backend development with broad platform influence and help create systems that make every engineering team more effective.

Equal opportunity statement

We are committed to building an inclusive workplace and welcome candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe diverse teams build better products and create stronger outcomes for our customers and our business.
