The BlueCat Cloud Platform team is responsible for powering all BlueCat SaaS products.

Our mission is to deliver BlueCat products on a reliable, fast, globally distributed, and cost-effective enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure.

Central to this mission is our API-first strategy, as we fully embrace a product model where APIs are integral to everything we create.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer with strong communication, and collaboration abilities to join our dynamic team.

The ideal candidate will have expertise in cloud-native technologies, with a focus on distributed Kubernetes cluster.

You’ll contribute toward development of the Horizon Cloud Platform, a large-scale distributed system built by leveraging technologies like Kubernetes, Redis, event-driven message bus systems, modern software architecture (asynchronous Python and Golang), and a plethora of Open Source technologies.

• You’ll design and build high-performance real-time microservices, taking significant ownership of key components of the stack.
• You’ll work primarily with fully asynchronous modern Python and Golang coroutines, but we are strong believers in using the right tool for the job, making use of other languages where it makes sense to in our stack.
• Researches, writes and edits documentation and technical requirements, including software designs, evaluation plans, test results, technical manuals and formal recommendations and reports.
