Team: IT
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Platform based in the United States.
This role is a high-impact opportunity within a modern engineering organization focused on building and scaling the foundational cloud infrastructure that powers large-scale, transaction-heavy systems.
You will design and evolve cloud-native platforms that enable developers to ship faster, safer, and with greater autonomy across the organization.
The work spans cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes ecosystems, CI/CD automation, and developer experience tooling, with a strong emphasis on reliability, scalability, and security.
You will collaborate closely with product, data, and engineering teams to translate platform needs into robust, self-service capabilities.
A key part of the role involves driving operational excellence through observability, SLOs, incident response, and continuous system improvement.
The environment is fast-paced, highly collaborative, and deeply technical, with a strong culture of ownership and continuous learning.
Accountabilities:
- Design, build, and evolve scalable cloud platform infrastructure on GCP and Kubernetes to support high-throughput, mission-critical systems.
- Develop and maintain self-service developer platforms, including CI/CD pipelines, deployment systems, and infrastructure automation.
- Drive reliability engineering practices by defining SLOs, improving observability, and participating in on-call rotations and incident response.
- Architect and implement secure, cost-efficient, and highly available cloud solutions with strong focus on networking, IAM, and system resilience.
- Improve developer experience by streamlining build, deployment, and release processes to reduce friction and failure rates.
- Lead technical initiatives around platform modernization, infrastructure-as-code, and GitOps-based workflows.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex distributed systems issues, delivering long-term, scalable fixes.
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong focus on cloud platform or infrastructure engineering.
- Deep expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with additional experience in AWS or other cloud providers.
- Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes at scale, including cluster operations and architecture design.
- Proficiency in software development using languages such as Python, Go, Java, or TypeScript.
- Strong background in Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) and GitOps-driven CI/CD systems (ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, TeamCity).
- Experience designing and operating distributed systems, including databases and streaming technologies (e.g., Kafka, PostgreSQL).
- Solid understanding of cloud networking, security best practices, and system reliability principles.
- Experience with observability tooling and frameworks (e.g., OpenTelemetry) and reducing MTTR through monitoring improvements.
- Strong analytical thinking, communication skills, and ability to work cross-functionally in a collaborative environment.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated code.
- Preferred: experience mentoring engineers, driving platform strategy, and contributing to developer productivity improvements.
- Competitive US salary with location-based pay tiers ($150,000 – $190,000 base range depending on location)
- Annual performance bonus (up to 10% of base salary)
- Equity compensation via stock option grants
- Unlimited discretionary time off policy
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage
- 401(k) retirement plan with company match
- Paid parental leave (12 weeks)
- Flexible remote work environment within the United States
- Learning and development budget for professional growth
- Mental health and therapy support for employees and dependents
- Life, disability, and supplemental insurance coverage
- Employee wellness programs and company-wide social events.
