Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Foundation

Role Description

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Cloud Foundation team, you will join a team that is enabling SiriusXM to take advantage of the power and capabilities of cloud infrastructure in a way that is stable, properly managed, secure, and cost-effective.

These standards must be constantly evaluated and updated to account for changes in business priorities, company policies, and new/updated services from the cloud providers themselves.
• Improve Transparency: Help other teams outside of Cloud Foundation understand how the Cloud platform works, what its limitations are, and what guidelines were used to design it. Learn how other organizations within SiriusXM get work done and help figure out how the Cloud platform can evolve to better support them.
• AWS Expertise: Leverage and enhance Amazon Cloud environments to support current and future infrastructure needs, staying informed on new services and practices.
• Optimize Infrastructure Costs: Drive initiatives to optimize infrastructure for cost-effectiveness without compromising performance or security.
• Collaborate with other technical groups: Work closely with counterparts in the technical organization such as Networking, Security, Development, and others in Platform Engineering to ensure that we stay aligned towards the overall goals of the business and adhere to company policies.

• Proficiency in Git and experience with platforms like GitLab or GitHub for collaborative code management.
