Qualifications

• A BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of full stack software development, including design, implementation, and operation of distributed services.
• Demonstrated experience owning production services end-to-end in a builder-operator model, including design, build, deploy, on-call, and continuous improvement.
• Strong product development experience in Java, Python, Go, and or JavaScript.
• Expertise designing REST APIs and building multi-tenant services with clear isolation, quota, and lifecycle management.

Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and operate distributed services supporting data center lifecycle workflows, including planning, design, build, and operations. This includes defining APIs, data models, scalability strategies, and failure‑mode behavior.
• Own feature delivery from design through production rollout, including implementation, testing strategy, deployment planning, and operational readiness.
• Operate in a builder‑operator model. You will build, deploy, and participate in on‑call rotations. You will drive service reliability improvements based on incidents, retrospectives, and operational data.
• Lead technical reviews, including architecture and functional design reviews. You will write and maintain clear documentation, and you will ensure designs are secure by default and supportable for long‑term operations.
• Improve engineering velocity and quality by strengthening code review practices, increasing automated test coverage, and enhancing continuous integration and continuous delivery, test automation, and deployment automation.
• Partner with Product Managers and leadership to translate requirements into roadmaps and execution plans. You will communicate trade‑offs, risks, and milestones clearly.
• Mentor engineers across levels. You will set expectations for operational excellence, observability, and proactive service ownership, and you will raise engineering standards across multiple teams.
• Reduce operational toil by investing in automation, self‑service capabilities, and observability such as metrics, logs, and tracing. You will improve incident response and runbooks.
• Collaborate across dependent teams such as networking, security, identity, observability, storage, and release engineering to deliver integrated solutions for data center delivery and operations tooling.
