The Platform Engineering team is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help further our vision of making it effortless for SiriusXM technologists to build, deploy, and operate the software that drives our business. In this role, you will develop reusable platform components, streamline cloud infrastructure management, drive developer productivity across the organization, and work directly with internal development teams to help them successfully adopt the platform.

As a senior member of the team, you will promote standardization and simplify cloud‑native development by developing CDK libraries and Infrastructure‑as‑Code patterns that encapsulate SiriusXM's infrastructure standards, while also providing expert guidance and assistance to internal developer teams. You will also build and enhance support tooling by incorporating AI solutions to enable more self‑service capabilities, empowering developers to troubleshoot and resolve issues autonomously, ultimately improving overall developer productivity and experience.

What you'll do

• Write high‑quality, maintainable code that enhances the platform's tooling and infrastructure.
• Perform code reviews to ensure adherence to best practices and maintain code quality across the team.
• Author and review technical design documents to outline and refine the architectural direction and implementation details.
• Collaborate on the development and maintenance of shared components and libraries to standardize infrastructure creation and streamline development efforts.
• Collaborate with product managers to review user experience and product requirements, ensuring alignment with engineering goals.
• Contribute to the development and support of general developer tooling to enhance productivity.
• Provide architectural guidance and support to the teams building on the platform.
• Work with FinOps to manage and optimize the cost of platform engineering tools and services.
• Integrate AI‑driven tooling into the platform to enhance efficiency, reliability, and scalability, leveraging AI to optimize infrastructure management, automated processes, and operational workflows.

What you'll need

• 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer or related technical role (e.g., SRE, DevOps Engineer, Cloud Engineer).
• Significant experience in large software development projects in the cloud, preferably AWS.
• Fluency in at least two programming languages.
• Experience managing cloud infrastructure with infrastructure as code, preferably CDK and CloudFormation.
• Experience building and maintaining modular, reusable software libraries or APIs.
• Strong understanding of software deployment pipelines, preferably via GitHub Actions, and software release management.
• Passion for improving developer experience and productivity.
• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills.
• Must have the legal right to work in the U.S.
• Extra credit (not required):
  • Familiarity with using Datadog or other observability platforms.
  • AWS professional or associate certifications.
  • Experience with TypeScript and/or Python.
