Senior Software Engineer, Platform Engineering

• 6 or more years of professional software engineering experience, including several years operating in production what you built.
• A record of owning system level design rather than components alone. You have been the person accountable for how a whole system fits together.
• Deep experience with distributed systems, including failure modes you have personally debugged rather than only read about.
• Demonstrated coaching. Be ready to name engineers who grew because of how you worked with them, and to say what actually changed.
• Experience owning APIs that other teams depend on, including versioning and breaking change migrations.
• Excellent communication, particularly in writing. You can write a design document another team can act on without a meeting.
• Depth in at least one domain relevant to this team: data engineering, automation, developer tooling, AI enablement, or product engineering.
• Experience leading delivery across more than one team, without formal authority over the people involved.
• Strong fundamentals, and the judgement to recognize when the simple answer is the right one.

Nice to have:

• Experience as a formal tech lead, or in a staff level role.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, containers, and infrastructure as code (AWS, Azure, or GCP; Kubernetes; Terraform).
• Experience with high volume data pipelines, streaming systems, or telemetry and time series data.
• Experience putting machine learning or LLM systems into production.
• Experience working close to physical infrastructure, where the software must account for hardware that fails.
