Job summary

Cloudbeds is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Workflow Squad. You will design, build, and operate backend services and product capabilities primarily in PHP and Java, with occasional frontend contributions as needed.

You will own end-to-end changes across code, services, and deployment, while improving scalability, resilience, and security. The role emphasizes AI-first development, collaboration across teams, and delivering reliable product experiences in a remote, globally

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience building, shipping, and operating production applications.
  • Strong proficiency in PHP and/or Java.
  • Solid understanding of API design, relational data modeling, PostgreSQL, distributed systems, and asynchronous/event-driven architecture.
  • Hands-on experience with Kafka or similar messaging and streaming systems, REST, and gRPC.
  • Experience owning cloud-native delivery and operations, including Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD, observability, and production incident response.
  • Track record of owning complex work end-to-end and making pragmatic technical trade-offs.
  • Comfort working in a polyglot codebase and contributing outside backend stack when needed.
  • Strong product sense and customer empathy, with ability to translate business needs into simple, reliable product experiences.
  • Hands-on experience shipping production code with AI coding agents.
  • Business-level English fluency.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate customer-facing backend services and product capabilities primarily in PHP and Java, with focused frontend contributions when needed.
  • Build reliable APIs, data models, integrations, asynchronous processes, and event-driven services using PostgreSQL, Kafka, REST, and gRPC.
  • Own changes end-to-end across application code, service boundaries, infrastructure, and deployment configuration, from technical design through production operation.
  • Work AI-first, using Claude Code as the default starting point for implementation, and hold what it produces to the same review, testing, and production bar as code you write by hand.
  • Improve scalability, resilience, performance, security, and maintainability across distributed systems that support customer-critical operations.
  • Own observability, automated testing, release quality, production support, and incident response as part of the team's on-call rotation.
  • Collaborate with Product, Design, Infrastructure, Security, and other engineering teams to turn ambiguous requirements into pragmatic product solutions.
  • Contribute as a senior individual contributor through architecture decisions, code reviews, pair programming, documentation, mentoring, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.
