This role leans toward software development (high-quality APIs, automation, and tools), with working knowledge of cloud, DevOps, and SRE practices.#### What you’ll do- Design and build internal and customer-facing APIs and services that are secure, reliable, and well-documented.- Create developer tools and platform services that improve developer experience (DX): templates, CLIs, libraries, service scaffolding, automation.- Apply engineering best practices: test-driven development, code review, CI, and safe deployment patterns.- Engineer for operability: structured logging, metrics/tracing, health endpoints, and actionable alerts.- Collaborate with platform and product teams to standardize patterns (authn/authz, secrets, configuration, resilience, versioning).- Participate in incident response and reliability improvements; help teams reduce defects and operational risk.#### What we’re looking for#### Required- Strong software engineering experience delivering production services/APIs (design, implementation, testing, and operations).- Proficiency in at least one backend language (e.g., Java, Go, C#, Python, TypeScript) and modern API practices.- Experience with API design and lifecycle management (versioning, backward compatibility, pagination, error modeling).- Strong testing discipline (unit/component/integration tests) and comfort refactoring safely.- Working knowledge of cloud-native delivery: containers, CI/CD, and operating services in a cloud environment.- Ability to debug across layers (application, runtime, platform) using logs/metrics/traces.#### Preferred- Experience building and maintaining platform APIs (internal “product” mindset: usability, docs, support, adoption).- Experience with event-driven and asynchronous patterns (queues, pub/sub), reliability, and idempotency.- Security experience: OAuth/OIDC concepts, least privilege, threat modeling, input validation.- Experience improving reliability using SLOs and reducing toil through automation.- Experience with Kubernetes and infrastructure as code in partnership with platform/SRE teams.#### How we work- Build small, ship often: incremental changes with clear acceptance criteria and fast feedback.- Quality is non-negotiable: tests, clear design, observability, and secure defaults.- Operate what we build: ownership includes production support, documentation, and continuous improvement.#### What success looks like- Platform APIs and tools are adopted because they are reliable, well-documented, and easy to integrate.- Developers spend less time on undifferentiated work (setup, pipeline wiring, troubleshooting) and more time delivering features.- Incidents decrease due to better operability, safer releases, and consistent engineering standards. Skills Required: Python- The candidate can write production-grade Python to automate platform workflows and build internal tooling — not just write scripts, but ship tested, documented code. Go- The candidate can write performant, concurrent Go programs for platform services — CLIs, API handlers, K8s operators, or automation tooling. Docker- The candidate can author production-quality container images and understand the container lifecycle — not just `docker run hello-world'. Kubernetes- The candidate can deploy, troubleshoot, and operate workloads on Kubernetes — and understand the platform layer (not just `kubectl apply`). REST APIs- The candidate can design, implement, and version production APIs with proper error modeling, pagination, and backward compatibility — and treat them as products with users. Linux- The candidate can operate, debug, and troubleshoot Linux systems at a level that supports production platform work — networking, process management, permissions, and performance. GCP- The candidate can provision, operate, and troubleshoot GCP services that power a cloud-native platform — not just point-and-click console work. Skills Preferred: Tekton- The candidate can design and maintain CI/CD pipelines as code using Tekton — understanding tasks, pipeline definitions, triggers, and how they fit into a GitOps workflow. React- The candidate can build internal developer-facing UIs — dashboards, tooling interfaces, or self-service portals — using React. This is not a frontend-first role, but the ability to build usable internal tools is valued. Experience Required: Engineer 3 Exp: Prac. In 2 coding lang. or adv.
