Description

We're looking for a skilled Software Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team. As a key member of our team, you will support the design and development of shared platforms used across Scale. This includes designing our foundational data platforms and lifecycle, architecting Scale's core cloud infrastructure and orchestration stack, and redefining how engineers develop, build, test, and deploy software at Scale.

You will drive the design, and implementation of our foundational platforms and systems, working closely with stakeholders and internal customers to understand and refine requirements. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and deliver new features. You'll also proactively identify opportunities for, and drive improvements to, current programming practices, including process enhancements and tool upgrades.

Ideally, you'd have 3+ years of full-time engineering experience, post-graduation with specialities in back-end systems. You should have extensive experience in software development and a deep understanding of distributed systems and public cloud platforms (AWS preferred). You should show a track record of independent ownership of successful engineering projects. You should possess excellent communication and collaboration skills, and the ability to translate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

You should have experience working fluently with standard containerization & deployment technologies like Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, etc. You should have experience with orchestration platforms, such as Temporal and AWS Step Functions. You should have experience with NoSQL document databases (MongoDB) and structured databases (Postgres). You should have strong knowledge of software engineering best practices and CI/CD tooling (CircleCI).

Nice to haves include experience with data warehouses (Snowflake, Firebolt) and data pipeline/ETL tools (Dagster, dbt). Experience with authentication/authorization systems (Zanzibar, Authz, etc.) is also a plus. Experience scaling products at hyper-growth startups is highly valued. Excitement to work with AI technologies is a must.
