Software Engineer (Repositories)

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Software Engineer (Repositories) based in the United States. This is an infrastructure-focused backend engineering opportunity centered on building secure, reliable systems for serving software artifacts at scale. You’ll contribute to customer-facing registries, APIs, and production services while helping shape the foundation of a broader repository platform. The role combines software engineering with production infrastructure, giving you the opportunity to develop Go services and strengthen your operational expertise. You’ll own well-defined projects from technical design through testing, deployment, monitoring, and iteration, with support from experienced engineers. Your work will directly contribute to scalability, reliability, performance, observability, and a seamless developer experience. You’ll collaborate across engineering and product teams, participate in technical decisions, and gain exposure to complex systems operating in production. The environment is fast-moving, collaborative, remote-friendly, and designed to help engineers grow their technical judgment and ownership. Accountabilities: - Build and improve customer-facing package registries, APIs, and artifact-serving systems that enable software to be consumed securely, reliably, and efficiently. - Deliver well-scoped projects and features across the full development lifecycle, including technical design, implementation, testing, rollout, monitoring, and continuous improvement. - Develop and operate backend services in Go while contributing to systems that support multiple artifact types and evolve into a broader repository platform. - Improve production systems through work focused on scalability, reliability, observability, performance, and load testing.

- Participate in technical design discussions and contribute thoughtful decisions around service boundaries, APIs, data flows, and operational practices. - Collaborate with engineers and product partners to solve technical challenges and deliver a cohesive customer-facing repository experience. - Review code, share knowledge, ask thoughtful questions, and contribute to a supportive engineering culture built around continuous learning. - Investigate and resolve production issues while developing stronger operational judgment and a practical understanding of how customer-facing infrastructure performs in real-world environments. Requirements: - 2+ years of software engineering experience, including some exposure to backend or infrastructure systems. - Experience with Go, or strong programming experience in another language combined with the ability and willingness to become productive in Go quickly. - Experience taking software projects from implementation through testing and release, with a solid understanding of software development fundamentals. - Interest in building customer-facing infrastructure such as package registries, artifact repositories, APIs, developer platforms, or other backend systems. - Familiarity with testing, code review, debugging, version control, and other core engineering practices. - Experience deploying or operating production services, or a strong interest in developing production operations and infrastructure skills. - Familiarity with cloud infrastructure or infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform is helpful but not required. - A systems-oriented and curious mindset, with an ability to investigate how systems work, diagnose problems, understand root causes, and continuously improve solutions. - Strong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to ask for help, incorporate feedback, work through ambiguity, and contribute effectively in a remote environment.
