Staff Software Engineer, Wpromote

• The right person will be equally comfortable improving cloud foundations, debugging application architecture, building automation, hardening security patterns, improving developer experience, and helping teams make better technical decisions
• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Significant experience operating as a senior or staff-level engineer across multiple technical domains, not just one specialty
• Extensive, hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably on Google Cloud Platform, including Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, cloud-native architecture, and production workload operations
• Strong experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Argo CD, and GitOps principles to enable automated deployment workflows, environment management, and release automation
• Strong OO background and programming fundamentals, as well as scripting and automation skills using Python or Bash
• Experience with observability practices, including metrics, logs, traces, alerting, dashboards, SLOs, and incident response
• Ability to debug and improve systems across application code, infrastructure, data pipelines, networking, deployments, and cloud services
• Ability to quickly learn unfamiliar systems and make sound technical decisions with incomplete information
• Strong communication and leadership skills with engineers, product managers, and technical leadership
• A pragmatic problem-solving mindset; this role requires someone who can move quickly between systems, learn on the fly, and create durable solutions without over-engineering

Desirable

• We are seeking an experienced Staff Software Engineer who can operate across platform engineering, application architecture, infrastructure, automation, DevSecOps, and data pipeline systems
• This is not a narrow platform role
• Success in this role requires someone who can jump into complex problems across the stack, quickly understand the system, design a practical path forward, and build the solution
• You will also serve as a senior technical partner across engineering teams, stepping into a variety of systems that require ownership and architectural guidance
• You crave broad technical ownership and can raise the quality, speed, and reliability of engineering across the organization
• Architecting and improving cloud foundations, especially on Google Cloud Platform, to support scalable, secure, well-governed workloads
• Designing and building platform capabilities across GCP, Kubernetes, serverless, CI/CD, GitOps, observability, AI, and developer tooling
• Establishing and improving GitOps workflows using tools such as GitHub Actions, Argo CD, Terraform, Helm, and automated release pipelines
• Managing and evolving enterprise Kubernetes clusters, including workload standards, deployment patterns, security controls, and operational practices
• Building reusable Terraform modules, Helm charts, templates, SDKs, scripts, and internal tools that reduce repeated manual work
• Improving developer experience by creating paved roads, self-service workflows, better documentation, standardized environments, and reliable delivery pipelines
• Implementing secure-by-default engineering patterns for IAM, Workload Identity Federation, secrets management, network security, auditability, and least-privilege access
• Helping software teams integrate with observability tooling such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry, or similar systems
• Troubleshooting difficult production issues across applications, infrastructure, data workflows, cloud services, and deployment systems
• Partnering with application, data, product, and UX stakeholders to design practical solutions to complex business and technical problems
• Supporting data and AI platform needs where needed, including PostgreSQL, dbt, BigQuery, Snowflake, CDC, Data Lakes, and other data tools
• Comfortable maintaining both infrastructure and DAGs for an orchestration platform at scale, preferably Airflow
• Mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar through code review, architecture review, pairing, documentation, and direct implementation
• Evaluating vendors, frameworks, and platform tooling with a pragmatic build-versus-buy mindset
• Helping improve cloud cost visibility, resource governance, budget controls, and FinOps practices
