Senior Software Engineer, Gopuff

• We are seeking a Senior Engineer focused on our Kubernetes Service Platform team who is excited about creating innovative solutions to make life effortless for our engineers and our customers
• The kind of people we are looking for want to build optimized routing systems to efficiently deliver to our customers, create an end to end shopping experience that will delight our customers, devise warehouse management systems that enable us to always fulfill our customers’ needs, or design mobile and web applications that are joyful to use
• Bachelor degree in Computer Science (or related field)
• Over 5 Years of production experience
• Ability to program (structured and OO) with one or more high level languages, such as Python, Java, Go, C/C++, or JavaScript. We write complex software when appropriate
• Practiced in debugging complex distributed systems
• Experience in a production setting automating infrastructure provisioning in a public cloud
• Knowledge of containerization and container orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes (K8s strongly preferred)
• Strong knowledge of UNIX and TCP/IP and HTTP fundamentals
• Experience designing secure systems from both an infrastructure and platform perspective
• Experience architecting highly available systems that utilize load balancing and horizontal scalability
• Proficiency with modern web, frontend and server, and/or cloud applications
• Solid grasp of data structures, algorithms and databases
• Use of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. The tool is less important - experiences and a mindset to try/execute CI/CD pipelines at scale is key, in a GitOps deployment model

Desirable

• Your primary responsibilities will be to architect, build and continually improve the automation that lies at the intersection between infrastructure and application
• A commitment to collaborative problem solving, elegant design, and a quality product is essential
• We are biased towards action and a feature is considered ‘Done’ once it is shipped and confidently running in production
• Engage in and improve the whole lifecycle of application deployment from inception and design, through deployment, operation and refinement
• Support applications before they go live through activities such as system design consulting, developing software platforms and frameworks, capacity planning and launch reviews
• Write and present design documents for large projects that impact the architecture of our infrastructure
• Maintain applications once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency and overall system health
• Creating libraries and tooling to enable seamless integration of software and services we use including Kubernetes, Istio, Argo, Helm, Pumumi, Azure, and GCP
• Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation, and evolve systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity
• Identifying and building solutions that raise the level of quality across an organization of 200+ engineers - from well-supported build pipelines to best in-class observability
