Senior Software Engineering

Large language models are transforming software engineering — developers can now go from idea to code faster than ever. But that just shifts complexity downstream: deployment, observability, cost, security, reliability — all of that has to scale too, and LLMs don't yet solve the problem.

Since 2014, our cloud delivery platform has been automating security, compliance and reliability for engineering teams whose apps handle the most sensitive data, in the most highly regulated industries.

The need for a platform like Aptible has never been greater. If you're passionate about cloud infrastructure and ensuring DevOps evolves to meet the pressure of AI-assisted development — and you're excited to join a small and highly talented team — we’d love to hear from you.

Aptible is part of Opti9 Technologies, a cloud solutions provider specializing in managed cloud, security, disaster recovery, and compliance. Joining forces with Opti9 gives Aptible the resources to invest more aggressively in the platform — expanding what we can deliver to the engineering teams who depend on it.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion We see great value in bringing together a team with different perspectives, educational backgrounds, and life experiences, and we prioritize diversity within our team. Overview In this role, you’ll build end-to-end product features that make it easier for engineers to ship and operate software, combining customer-facing UI/API work with improvements to workflows, reliability, and the day-to-day internal developer experience.

What You'll Do Ship customer-facing product features primarily for our AWS-based PaaS across our stack, which includes: Ruby on Rails backend systems, a web app (React-TypeScript), a Terraform client (Go), and a CLI client (Ruby), and more.

Work closely with Product and Design to clarify requirements, make tradeoffs, and deliver in small, high-quality increments.

Improve developer experience, including internal tooling, local development workflows, and the path from code to production.

Participate in the on call rotation, and help drive follow-ups that reduce repeat incidents and make the system easier to operate.

Partner with our customer-facing engineering team to investigate customer issues and deliver fixes or improvements when needed.

Use AI tools to improve your development workflow and velocity.

You have experience shipping production software as a fullstack engineer (targeting mid-level to Senior II). You communicate extremely well — you are clear, effective, and proactive in your communication, both speaking and in writing.

You have strong software engineering fundamentals and coding ability, and comfort working across a fullstack codebase.

You are a prolific and thoughtful developer in at least one mainstream language, and can pick up new languages/frameworks quickly.

You are comfortable building developer-facing interfaces and workflows, not just backend services.

You are comfortable working in cloud infrastructure or distributed systems.

You have a strong track record as an expert in the products you've built, and as a go-to resource for Product Design and Product Management during early feature and product planning.

You Should Apply If You want to do hands-on implementation, not just architect solutions.

You're a deeply curious problem solver, and you're not tied to a specific language or technology.

You're invested in team ownership — you care about what your teammates are building, not just your own work.

We have a real product, real customers who depend on it, and a profitable business. We're a team that genuinely cares — about the work, the customers (and the cool things they’re building), and each other. Take-Home Project (You will be compensated for completing this.)
