Software Engineer

Ship software that millions of people and organizations rely on every day. You will turn ambitious product bets into reliable, secure, high-scale systems—owning design through production so customers can do more with less friction. This role exists because quality, velocity, and trust at planetary scale are not optional; they are the work.

Performance Objectives

  • Deliver production features end-to-end within 90 days: design, implement, test, and ship services that meet defined SLAs for latency, availability, and security.
  • Reduce mean time to detect and resolve production issues by 30% in your first two quarters through better observability, runbooks, and automated diagnostics.
  • Raise code quality: drive pull-request standards, increase automated test coverage on critical paths, and cut escaped defects quarter over quarter.
  • Own a service or subsystem: define APIs, capacity, and failure modes; keep it healthy under real traffic and evolving requirements.
  • Partner with product, design, and SRE to ship measurable customer outcomes—not just tickets—on a predictable cadence.
  • Mentor peers through design reviews and pairing; leave the codebase and team stronger than you found them.
  • Apply AI-assisted development responsibly to accelerate implementation and reviews without sacrificing correctness or security.

Environment & Resources

You will join a cross-functional engineering team with product, design, and operations partners. You report to an engineering manager and work in a modern stack with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and internal developer platforms. Budget and tooling exist to instrument, load-test, and operate what you ship. Collaboration is global and async-first, with clear ownership and on-call rotations that respect sustainable pace.

Essential Qualifications

  • Proven track record shipping production backend or full-stack systems at scale (distributed services, data stores, APIs).
  • Ability to design for failure: retries, idempotency, observability, and security as first-class concerns.
  • Strong coding craft in at least one systems language and comfort reading others; evidence of reviews that improve both code and people.
  • Experience operating what you build: metrics, logs, traces, and incident response—not just “it works on my machine.”
  • Clear written communication: design docs, RFCs, and status that executives and peers can act on.
  • Bachelor’s degree in CS or equivalent practical experience delivering software used by real customers.

Role Selling Points

  • Work on products with genuine planetary reach and real reliability bar—your code will be in the critical path.
  • Access to world-class platforms, research, and AI tooling so you spend more time on hard problems than undifferentiated plumbing.
  • Culture that rewards shipping, learning in public, and raising the bar for the next engineer.
  • Career paths that value deep technical ownership as much as people leadership.

If you want to own outcomes, not just tickets, apply now. Show us systems you have shipped and the problems you still want to solve. We review every application that demonstrates impact.
