Senior Software Engineer (Platform)

Senior Software Engineer (Platform)

TRUCE is a company that builds contextual mobile device management solutions, helping organizations drive safer and more focused mobile usage. Our mission is to keep people safe and productive by managing mobile device access based on the context of their environment.

You will be joining our Platform team, a growing group of dedicated backend engineers responsible for all core backend services. This includes key infrastructure for trip scoring, real‑time analytics processing, messaging, and more. We offer an excellent opportunity to work on the latest technologies and build architectures that scale.

The interview process will include writing and troubleshooting code, in addition to the technical interview.

The Role

We are seeking a dedicated Senior Software Engineer to help architect, build, and maintain our back‑end services on AWS. We apply a DevOps mindset to our services and applications, meaning the engineer will own several back‑end services. Our preferred approach is to build systems using serverless architecture, and our main programming language is Python (we also maintain some PHP code). This position is especially suited for senior developers with strong DevOps, operations, or system administration experience (in database, systems, network, or cloud).

About You

• Loves to learn and takes ownership of deliverables.
• Likes to move fast.

Responsibilities

• Architect, build, troubleshoot, and maintain cloud‑based solutions and applications.
• Provide infrequent after‑hours monitoring and triage of critical production issues.
• Prioritize and work independently on several projects with minimal oversight.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in developing server‑based software (web or back‑end systems such as services and background workers).
• Working knowledge of at least one database (e.g., MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB).
• Working knowledge of Linux/UNIX command line tools (e.g., grep, find, tail, awk, sed).
• Result‑oriented and can get things done.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional experience developing software in Python.
• Experience delivering two or more professional‑level software or systems projects through the entire SDLC.
• Experience with Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure (Cloud Certification a plus).
• Experience in DevOps or System Administration roles (database, systems, network, or cloud).
• BS in Computer Science (or equivalent) from an accredited 4‑year university.
