As a Senior Software Engineer, you should have the ability to understand complex problems and strike a good balance between business goals and technical implementations.
This is a collaborative, fast-paced environment requiring strong communication and teamwork as well as the ability to adapt to shifting priorities. On a given day this role offers opportunities to lead development of new features, update/upgrade existing features, troubleshoot production, interact with customers, design and implement runtime monitoring, testing, auditing or metrics gathering. You should be comfortable at building complex distributed systems that interact with end users at one end and network infrastructure at the other. You should be passionate and highly skilled in programming and be able to write clean code consistently. The ability to optimize the code for improving performance and scalability when it is deployed in a cloud environment as a part of a distributed application is a critical requirement.
The ideal candidate will be a highly skilled software engineer who is self-driven, detail oriented and possess strong written and verbal communication skills. They should be highly proficient at operating in a SaaS, Cloud or Hybrid cloud environment.

–Implements performance and load testing.
System Design & Architecture - System Reliability Design:
–Collaborates with team to build fault-tolerant components capable of withstanding in-service updates by implementing redundancy, replication, and automatic failover mechanisms.
–Applies recovery oriented computing principles to design components that effectively handle service disruptions.
–Implements retry mechanisms, circuit breakers, and timeouts to help handle network unreliability.
System Design & Architecture - System Reliability Performance:
–Implements tests and alarm configurations to proactively detect and address issues/failures.
–Supports efforts to recover from failures by drafting and executing runbooks and operational procedures.
–Builds and customizes dashboards, telemetry systems, and alerting mechanisms to monitor component health.
System Design & Architecture - Correctness / Availability:
–Designs and implements functional requirements and testing for assigned features within an existing system.
–Implements tests scenarios (e.g., fault-injection, brown-out) to evaluate system correctness.
–Implements standard data replication and synchronization techniques to maintain data integrity and availability.
Operational Troubleshooting & Incident Management:
–Diagnoses, debugs, and resolves issues in system components to support ongoing operation.
–Implements basic strategies to prevent interruptions, ensuring no maintenance windows are required for customers and users when resolving issues.
–Designs and implements automation scripts and tooling used to troubleshoot operational issues.
–Participates in operational support rotations, assisting in incident responses and root cause investigations.
Compliance & Security:
–Applies advanced security measures to protect data and applications in multi-tenant environments, including encryption and access controls.
–Implements remediation plans to continuously improve security.

Automation & Change Management:
–Maintains automation scripts and tools (e.g., Infrastructure as Code (IaC)) for managing cloud infrastructure.
–Adheres to change management plans for patching, updating, and rolling back applications.
Core Responsibilities
Planning & Execution:
–Track timelines with minimal supervision, ensuring work is completed in a timely manner and is in alignment with project requirements.
–Prioritize and adjust work as resources or timelines change, with some guidance
Collaboration & Partnership:
–Collaborates across teams to align on expectations and achieve shared objectives. Builds and maintains a comprehensive understanding of business, stakeholder, and/or customer needs to build and support effective partnerships. Actively listens to diverse perspectives and asks questions to ensure understanding of others.
Problem Solving:
–Independently identifies and addresses standard and non-standard issues in accordance with standard practices, escalating more complex issues as appropriate. Analyzes data and/or information from multiple sources to troubleshoot standard and non-standard errors. Contributes to knowledge sharing and best practices
