Senior Software Engineer, Cloud-Native App Development

At Cisco Meraki, we know that technology can connect, empower, and drive us. Our mission is to simplify technology so our customers can focus on what's most meaningful to them: their students, patients, customers, and businesses. We’re making networking easier, faster, and smarter with technology that simply works. We maintain a positive relationship with Cisco that gives us the stability and resources of a larger company without sacrificing our startup vibe.

Our devices are some of the most popular in the world: there are over 11 million devices online globally. This popularity comes with large scalability challenges: our core services process more than 110 billion transactions a day.

You will be part of a team that builds highly distributed, resilient, scalable, and fault tolerant cloud-native/hosted services. These services provide Meraki devices an easy and secure way to connect to our Backend. Our tech stack is very broad, and as part of your day to day, you will dabble into various programming languages, testing techniques, SQL and NoSQL databases, deployment tools, observability frameworks, and interface with both on-prem and cloud infrastructure. You will also spend some time supporting our legacy on-prem applications.

We encourage you to drop us a line even if you don’t have all the points above. That's a lot of different areas of responsibility! We will help you pick them up because we believe that great engineers come from diverse backgrounds.
