We are looking for a highly experienced Software Engineer IV with a deep background in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems design, and large-scale deployment architecture. You'll help architect and implement core infrastructure platforms that power high-availability services and enable developer velocity across the company.

As a technical leader on the team, you'll design scalable, reliable systems using Python and Go, and collaborate cross-functionally to improve observability, performance, and deployment efficiency for our cloud-native applications.

Your Impact & Responsibilities

Design and implement infrastructure systems that support scalability, resiliency, and maintainability across cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

Lead architectural discussions and drive technical decisions for large-scale distributed systems and microservices.

Build tools and services in Python and Go to automate operational workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment processes.

Develop and maintain IaC (Infrastructure as Code) using Terraform, Helm, or similar tools.

Ensure systems are observable, secure, and compliant, incorporating metrics, logs, and alerting into every layer.

Collaborate with product, DevOps, and security teams to ensure platform reliability and velocity.

Provide technical leadership across engineering teams, particularly when working on shared infrastructure, tooling, or services.

Mentor and support engineers on your immediate team, helping them grow in their technical careers and navigate complex challenges.

REQUIREMENTS

7+ years of professional software engineering experience.

Strong proficiency in Go and Python for building backend services and automation tools.

Proven experience designing, deploying, and operating cloud-native systems (e.g., Kubernetes, service meshes, autoscaling infrastructure).

Deep understanding of distributed systems, networking, caching, and resilient design patterns.

Expertise in CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).

Experience with observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog).

Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible).

Demonstrated technical leadership across engineering teams, especially in the context of shared platforms or infrastructure.

Proven experience mentoring engineers within your team and helping foster a culture of technical growth.

Experience with zero-downtime deployments and blue/green or canary rollouts.

Prior work with high-throughput, low-latency systems at scale (millions of users or transactions).

Contributions to open-source infrastructure tools or frameworks.

Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, etc.) in cloud infrastructure.

Hands-on experience integrating with billing platforms like Zuora, including API usage, data synchronization, and operational monitoring.

Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

This is a remote opportunity, but candidates must reside near one of our hub locations for occasional collaboration: Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL; Denver, Colorado; San Antonio, TX

Our approach includes structured, competency-based interviews designed to evaluate your skills, experience, and qualifications relevant to the role. At times, we may include a data-driven assessment to enhance our hiring success and identify candidates likely to excel.
