These practices are applied thoughtfully and with respect for candidate privacy.

What is the opportunity?

As a Staff Engineer, you will play a key role in designing and building large-scale distributed systems and platform services that power our core platform. This role goes beyond feature development-you will own system design, performance, scalability, and operational excellence of critical services. You will work on high-throughput, low-latency systems, solving complex problems in data processing, service orchestration, and reliability engineering, while influencing architectural direction and engineering best practices across teams.

What will you do?

• Design and implement scalable, high-performance backend systems using Go, with a strong focus on reliability, observability, and efficiency.
• Own end-to-end architecture and system design, including service decomposition, data modeling, API design, and inter-service communication patterns.
• Drive performance optimization initiatives across services (CPU, memory, I/O, network), and identify bottlenecks using profiling and observability tools.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues, including distributed system failures, latency spikes, and resource contention across multi-service environments.
• Build and operate systems leveraging Kafka, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, and caching layers (Redis/Valkey) for high-scale workloads.
• Design and operate services in containerized environments (Docker) orchestrated via Kubernetes or HashiStack (Nomad/Consul/Vault).
• Collaborate with Product, SRE, and Security teams to ensure resilient, secure, and production-ready solutions.
• Contribute to and drive engineering excellence through design reviews, code reviews, and mentoring junior engineers.
• Participate in full software lifecycle ownership: requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.
• Champion DevOps and "You build it, you run it" culture, including CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, alerting, and incident response.

What will you bring to Omnissa?

• Strong programming expertise in Go , with deep understanding of concurrency, memory management, and performance tuning.
• Extensive experience building distributed systems and microservices architectures at scale.
• Strong understanding of system design principles, including scalability, fault tolerance, consistency models, and trade-offs.
• Deep knowledge of Linux systems, including processes, networking stack, file systems, and performance diagnostics.
• Hands‑on experience with containerization ( Docker ) and orchestration using Kubernetes or HashiStack (Nomad, Consul, Vault).
• Strong experience with event-driven and data-intensive systems using Apache Kafka .
• Experience with databases and storage systems, including PostgreSQL , OpenSearch , and caching systems like Redis .
• Solid experience with cloud platforms, preferably Amazon Web Services , including managed services (MSK, Aurora, OpenSearch).
• Proven ability to analyze and optimize system performance, including profiling, benchmarking, and capacity planning.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across application, infrastructure, and network layers.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows.
• 8-12+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on backend systems and distributed architectures
