Senior Platform Software Engineer

Location: Austin, TX, United States

Owns moderately complex components within Compute/Imaging platform services; leads team-level improvements to integration frameworks and developer tooling. Performs deep debugging across a bounded set of Operating System, Infrastructure Orchestration, distributed services, driving fixes that protect downstream consumers and upgrade paths. Analyzes usage, performance, and error budgets for specific platform surfaces; implements targeted resilience and capacity optimizations. Authors and curates team-scoped documentation, samples, and adoption guidance.

Designs, implements, and optimizes components in distributed systems with an emphasis on scalability, resiliency, and operability. Delivers features and load/performance tests; leverages data plane platforms and distributed state tools for high-volume retrieval, storage, and processing; and reviews peers’ implementations for scalability compliance. Builds fault-tolerant paths (redundancy, replication, automatic failover), applies recovery‑oriented principles, and implements retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts. Proactively detects and mitigates issues via tests, alarms, dashboards, and telemetry; authors runbooks and participates in incident response and RCAs. Implements standard replication and synchronization, develops automation/IaC for troubleshooting and maintenance, and applies advanced security controls (encryption, access, remediation) while ensuring change, compliance, and documentation standards are met.
