## Description

As a Senior Software Engineer on Platform Core at Pindrop, you will own and evolve high-scale backend and data-layer services that every Pindrop product depends on.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Designing, building, testing, and operating distributed backend services and APIs that support high-volume customer interactions.

- Taking end-to-end ownership of platform work, from framing ambiguous problems and shaping technical plans through implementation, rollout, and production support.

- Improving reliability, scalability, latency, and cost across shared platform systems that serve teams across the business.

- Partnering closely with Product, SRE, and peer engineering teams to deliver platform improvements without destabilizing live traffic.

- Participating in on-call, incident response, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of alerting, runbooks, deployment quality, and capacity planning.

- Raising engineering standards through code reviews, design reviews, pairing, documentation, and mentorship for other engineers on the team.

To be successful in this role, you should have:

- 5-7+ years of experience building backend services and APIs in production, or equivalent practical depth.

- Strong hands-on experience with Python and/or Go.

- Experience with distributed systems, concurrency, and cloud-native development on AWS and/or GCP using Kubernetes and Docker.

- Proven production ownership, including deploying, monitoring, troubleshooting, and participating in on-call for high-scale services.

- Strong experience with data and messaging technologies such as PostgreSQL or Aurora, Redis, and RabbitMQ, along with the ability to reason about reliability, performance, and scale tradeoffs.

Pindrop offers a competitive compensation package, including RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) for all employees, remote-first environment, unlimited paid time off, generous health and welfare plans, and more.
