Role Overview:

As a Software Engineer for the TIDE team, you will be at the forefront of creating a unified developer experience across multiple cloud providers. You will be on a remote-first team across the US, collaborating with cross-functional teams and driving the development of packaged Terraform resources and pipeline definitions to extend development teams' services. You will play a pivotal role in enhancing the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) paradigm and transforming how developers interact with cloud resources.

Responsibilities:

• Participate in designing, developing, and maintaining well-architected, production-grade Terraform tooling.

• Collaborate closely with other teams to understand developer pain points and requirements, ensuring the creation of tools that simplify workflows and enhance the developer experience.

• Write high-quality Terraform and Golang code to support packaged manifests, infrastructure deployment, and pipeline automation.

• Explore and implement strategies for creating resources seamlessly across multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, AliCloud, etc) to offer a unified developer experience.

• Provide technical guidance, code reviews, and best practices to the team members to ensure high-quality deliverables.

• Support customers and internal stakeholders by troubleshooting issues, resolving queries, and providing effective solutions.

• Foster a culture of innovation, independent thinking, and proactive problem-solving within the team.

• Collaborate with teams operating in different time zones, demonstrating excellent communication and cross-functional teamwork skills.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)

• 3+ years of experience in DevOps or a similar role.

• Proficiency in Golang and Terraform, with hands-on experience in designing and deploying cloud resources using AWS, Kubernetes, and related technologies.

• Prior technical leadership and mentorship experience.

• Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles and best practices.

• Experience with cloud providers such as AWS, GCP, Azure, or AliCloud.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to drive complex technical initiatives.

• Strong communication skills to interact effectively with developers, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams.

• Ability to work independently, adapt to evolving priorities, and deliver results in a dynamic, remote-first environment.
