Senior Software Engineer — Proxy & Connectivity Platform

Design and build software systems that manage proxy and observability infrastructure safely at scale.

Build deployment, configuration, validation, and observability platforms for production infrastructure.

Build systems that add safety, automation, and strong controls around change management, making changes easier to review, validate, and roll back while reducing reliance on manual operator steps.

Improve telemetry, alerting, and health checks so issues are easier to detect and diagnose.

Operate the production infrastructure your systems manage, with support from the team and clear escalation paths.

Participate in an on-call rotation for production infrastructure.

Work with internal users and partner teams to understand requirements, explain constraints, and deliver supportable solutions.

Review your own code and others’ code carefully, with high standards for correctness, design quality, test coverage, maintainability, and operational safety.

Challenge assumptions and help shape the architecture and operating model as the platform evolves.

Strong software engineering experience in a functional or object-oriented programming language. Python and Go are helpful, but strong engineering judgment matters far more than a specific language background.

Experience building, testing, debugging, and operating production software or infrastructure platforms.

Ability to reason through ambiguous technical problems, evaluate tradeoffs, and make sound design decisions.

Strong written, verbal, and diagram-based communication skills.

High standards for code authorship and review, including careful review of your own changes and others’ code for correctness, design quality, test coverage, and long-term maintainability.

A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, a similar field of study, or equivalent work experience.

Experience building deployment platforms, orchestration systems, infrastructure-as-code workflows, or internal developer/operator tooling.

Experience with observability tools such as Splunk, Grafana, Humio, Prometheus, or similar.

Experience designing safe rollout, validation, rollback, or automated remediation workflows.

Experience supporting internal users with diverse requirements while maintaining clear platform standards.

Familiarity with Linux infrastructure and virtualization.

Interest in mentoring others and raising the engineering maturity of a team.

This is a software engineering role, not a network engineering role., we do not expect you to have:

Prior experience with proxy, network observability, or network security platforms.

Deep knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, HTTP, or L1–L7 networking concepts.

If indicated, please note that years of experience are a guide; we will consider applications from all candidates who can demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.
