Job Description:

We are looking for a Senior Systems Software Engineer to lead the development of our Linux system management and monitoring infrastructure. This role is perfect for a developer who enjoys working at the intersection of high-level application logic and low-level system internals. In this position, you will build the "brain" of our Debian-based systems—creating Go-based tools that manage software lifecycles, monitor service health, and ensure system-wide observability.

Responsibilities:

• System Management Tooling: Build and maintain Golang applications for Linux user-space management, focusing on Debian-based distributions.
• Package Management & Monitoring: Develop programmatic solutions to monitor installed packages, manage updates via apt/dpkg APIs, and ensure version consistency.
• Service Observability: Design systems to track service status, health metrics, and automated log retrieval/parsing for rapid troubleshooting.
• Debian Packaging: Oversee the packaging of internal software into production-ready .deb files, including post-install scripting and dependency management.
• Architecture Design: Lead the transition toward more modular, service-oriented system tools while maintaining peak performance in a Linux environment.

Education and Experience Required:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent.
• 7–10+ years of experience in software development.
• U.S. citizenship required: This role will be responsible for services in a FedRAMP High compliant environment that requires proof of U.S. citizenship.

Knowledge and Skills:

• Strong experience with Go (Golang).
• Expert proficiency in Golang (Go) for systems-level programming.
• Python Programming: Proficiency in Python for scripting, automation, or maintaining existing system utilities.
• Microservices Development: Experience designing distributed systems or microservice architectures to handle complex system tasks.
• General understanding of modern deployment environments (e.g., containers, Kubernetes, or similar) is a plus, but not required.
• Experience with networking concepts or device management systems.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; mastery in English and local language.
• Ability to effectively communicate product architectures, design proposals and negotiate options at business unit and executive levels.
• U.S. citizenship required: This role will be responsible for services in a FedRAMP High compliant environment that requires proof of U.S. citizenship.
