Desirable

• We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Infrastructure Team, focused on building secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure for Nimble’s software services, robotics products, embedded systems, and business operations
• You will work across cloud, production, corporate, and robot-facing systems to identify and remediate security, reliability, and operational risks in designs, implementations, integrations, and processes
• This role is deeply hands-on: you will build secure-by-default platforms, improve observability, automate detection and remediation, strengthen incident response, and help engineering teams operate resilient systems in production
• You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of software development projects, including design, implementation, automated testing, field testing, deployment, monitoring, and production support
• Own and drive the infrastructure roadmap for secure, reliable, and scalable software services, robotics products, embedded systems, cloud infrastructure, and corporate systems
• Act as a primary technical authority on security, infrastructure reliability, availability, compliance, and operational excellence across the organization
• Lead security architecture reviews, reliability reviews, production readiness reviews, code reviews, and technical planning sessions
• Design and implement security controls, reliability patterns, data compliance mechanisms, and guardrails for both our On-Premise and Cloud infrastructure
• Collaborating with engineering teams to mitigate security weaknesses, reliability risks, scalability bottlenecks
• Develop platforms, tools, and automation that improve cloud security posture, system reliability, developer velocity, and operational efficiency
• Mentor engineers and cross-teams on secure design, reliable system architecture, operational ownership, and production engineering practices
• Develop observability via metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, for detection, monitoring, alerting, and remediation systems for vulnerabilities, incidents, regressions, service degradation, misconfigurations, and infrastructure drift
• Define and improve incident response processes, including on-call practices, runbooks, postmortems, severity frameworks, and follow-up tracking
• Drive software engineering best practices across the team by producing high-quality, well-tested, maintainable code and raising the bar in reviews
