Descrizione del lavoro

Blue Origin seeks a Software Development Engineer (backend) in Seattle, WA to own the backend infrastructure for internal applications and AI-enabled workflows. You will design databases, services, and integrations with PLM, MES, and engineering systems, and lead AI-driven features.

You will collaborate with engineers, program managers, and manufacturing teams, shaping architecture from concept to production while upholding security and data-handling standards.

Competenze

• B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience, including ownership of production applications and the backend systems behind them.
• Strong proficiency in Python and TypeScript or JavaScript, with working proficiency in at least one additional language (Go, C#, Java, C++, or similar).
• Experience designing and operating database-backed applications: relational schema design, SQL, migrations, and REST or GraphQL API design.
• Experience deploying and maintaining applications in production, including CI/CD, containers, monitoring, and backups.
• Foundational knowledge of modern AI systems, including large language models, prompt and context design, retrieval-augmented generation, and the limits and failure modes of AI-generated output.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently from a roadmap or problem statement, make reasonable decisions under ambiguity, and communicate trade-offs clearly.
• Experience with Git-based version control, code review, and automated testing.
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Mansioni

• Design, build, and operate the backend infrastructure for the team’s internal applications, including databases, data models, service layers, authentication, and deployment.
• Own the ongoing management of internally built applications: monitoring, maintenance, upgrades, data integrity, access control, and support for the engineers who use them.
• Develop and maintain integrations between internal applications and Blue Origin’s engineering and business systems (PLM, work management, documentation, and manufacturing execution systems) through their APIs.
• Translate a product roadmap into technical solutions: propose approaches, evaluate trade-offs, and deliver working software with limited direction.
• Design user experiences for internal tools, from wireframes and workflows through implementation, with a focus on clarity and minimal friction for non-software users.
• Apply foundational AI knowledge to the team’s software and processes, including LLM integration, retrieval over internal data, agentic workflows, and evaluation of AI-generated output.
• Coach team members on effective AI-assisted development and work practices, and establish standards for how the team uses AI tools responsibly.
• Develop in multiple languages as the problem requires, and select tools and frameworks that fit the team’s constraints.
• Replace manual, spreadsheet-based team processes with documented, maintainable software.
• Write documentation, runbooks, and handoff material so applications survive staffing changes.
• Ensure compliance with Blue Origin security, data handling, and export control requirements for internal software.
