Job Description

Itential is looking for a proficient and enthusiastic Software Development Engineer II to join our innovative team.

In this role, you will be responsible for designing and implementing software solutions that improve the products and services impacting customers across the globe.

You will have the opportunity to work on complex projects and collaborate with diverse teams, contributing to the development of high-quality software systems.

Key Responsibilities

Develop, deploy, and maintain robust and scalable automation platform services in Go, including the gateway server, gRPC APIs, WebSocket connectivity, and embedded network automation tooling.
Design software with a focus on performance, reliability, and scalability — including distributed execution patterns, HA leader election, multi-backend store architecture (BoltDB, etcd, DynamoDB), and concurrent request handling.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
3+ years of professional software development experience.
Proficiency in Go or a strongly-typed backend language (e.g., Java, C++); strong motivation and ability to work in idiomatic Go full-time.
Solid understanding of CS fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, concurrency, distributed systems, and network protocols.
Experience building and consuming gRPC or REST APIs in a collaborative team environment using standard workflows: Git, code review, vendored dependencies, and CI/CD pipelines.
Strong problem-solving skills with a disciplined approach to debugging, testing (unit and integration), and root cause analysis.
Good verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to document technical decisions and architectural tradeoffs clearly.
Demonstrated ability to effectively leverage AI coding assistants and LLM-based tools to accelerate development workflows, improve code quality, and solve complex technical problems — including prompt crafting, output validation, and knowing when not to rely on AI suggestions.

Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
Hands-on experience deploying Go services in AWS (DynamoDB, EC2, ECS/EKS) or comparable cloud environments, including containerized workloads (Docker/Podman, Kubernetes).
Experience with gRPC and Protocol Buffers, including proto schema design and code generation toolchains (e.g., buf).
Familiarity with distributed systems patterns: leader election, TTL-based locking, key-value stores (etcd, BoltDB), and graceful multi-node shutdown.
Experience with network automation, CLI tooling, or integration with vendor device APIs (SSH, NETCONF, scrapligo).
Prior work in an Agile environment with end-to-end ownership across the full SDLC — design, implementation, testing, CI/CD, and release.
Demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality software independently, communicate trade-offs across teams, and uphold code quality standards through peer review.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI or similar), Go testing tooling (go test, mocks, integration test patterns), and coverage enforcement.
