Job description

About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Upsilon India/Vaayu team, you will build and operate software that powers Blackbaud’s Engineering System Platform — an internal developer platform designed to help engineering teams move from ideation to production faster and operate reliably at scale. You will own the design, implementation, and operation of a robust Internal Developer Platform, allowing hundreds of development teams to deploy and manage thousands of services and cloud resources. This is a hands‑on coding role (you will spend most of your time writing and reviewing code), with strong ownership in production reliability, Kubernetes operations, and observability.

What you’ll do

• Design, build, and maintain C#/.NET microservices in a microservice architecture, focusing on reliability, scalability, and operability.
• Contribute to services that support the cloud resource lifecycle (provisioning/management/decommissioning) for Azure resources used across the company.
• Participate in production support and on‑call rotation; troubleshoot incidents using standard engineering workflows and ensure high‑quality follow‑through.
• Use telemetry/monitoring tools (Splunk, Grafana, Azure Monitor) to debug production issues, tune alerts, and improve system observability.
• Troubleshoot and operate workloads on Kubernetes (and AKS where applicable): pods, deployments, services, node‑level symptoms, and operational tooling (kubectl/diagnostics).
• Collaborate in Agile delivery, using GitHub workflows (PRs, code reviews, branching, CI/CD patterns).
• Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, pairing, and production troubleshooting practices (communication and coaching expected).

What you’ll bring

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong C# / .NET hands‑on development experience (must).
• Strong Azure experience (must).
• Strong Kubernetes experience (must).
• Proven production support and troubleshooting experience, with participation in on‑call rotations (must).
• May need to work in rotating shifts in the future based on business requirements.
• Working knowledge of system administration (Linux fundamentals) and networking basics (DNS, TLS, routing, connectivity troubleshooting).
• Experience with Agile practices and GitHub usage (must).
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with a globally distributed team, collaborating across time zones.

Nice to have

• AKS experience (cluster operations, node pools, scaling, upgrades).
• Angular, TypeScript.
• Experience with observability and telemetry tools such as Splunk, Grafana, and Azure Monitor.
