Job Description

As a System Development Engineer, you sit at the high-velocity intersection of Software Engineering and Systems Architecture, building the sophisticated tooling that allows our systems to provide the highest quality service. You will design and implement world-class Continuous Integration and Deployment frameworks. You will treat our internal infrastructure as a product, developing high-performance internal tools, APIs, and CLI utilities to automate complex operational logic. You will lead the charge in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and build self-healing systems and automated remediation workflows that detect and fix issues before a human ever sees an alert. You’ll bake security into the DNA of our systems. 

Key Responsibilities

• Architecting the CI/CD Engine: Design, build, and optimize high-speed deployment pipelines. You ensure it’s tested, secured, and deployed with zero downtime using Canary and Blue/Green strategies.

• Engineering Internal Platforms: You will treat internal services as products, developing APIs, custom CLI tools, and dashboards that empower software teams to self-serve infrastructure.

• Radical Automation & IaC: Eliminate manual toil by codifying everything. You will manage global-scale infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), ensuring environments are reproducible, version-controlled, and immutable.

• Advanced Escalation & Reliability: Act as the "Engineer’s Engineer." You provide support for complex distributed systems failures, performing deep-dive root cause analysis (RCA) and writing code to ensure the same failure mode never happens twice.

• Performance Tuning & Observability: Build the "eyes and ears" of our systems. You will implement advanced telemetry, distributed tracing, and automated alerting to maintain high availability and peak performance.

• Replicate complex customer deployment environments to execute comprehensive system integration and stability testing.

• Cybersecurity Compliance & Global Standards: Ensure that our systems meet/exceed strict global security standards.
