Senior Software Engineer, AutogenAI

• This is an ideal role for a backend-focused software engineer who wants to upskill and move closer to SRE/DevOps work
• Technical Expertise: you have experience building features and trouble shooting in your previous roles. You’re eager to bring those skills to the table and make changes
• Communication Skills: you can quickly build rapport inside and outside of your team. You’ll learn how other teams work, and try to spot ways we can improve their lives
• Adaptability and Initiative: you’re enthusiastic about taking on new challenges and learning about new domains. You’re not afraid to point out inefficiencies and suggest improvements
• Ownership: you care about the changes you make and the code you maintain; you want to see things working
• Experience: 5+ years working on technical projects, building and shipping features
• Technical Skills: fluency in a programming language (ideally TypeScript/Python - we’re flexible though); proficiency with relational databases
• Some Experience in Platform Infrastructure: knowledge and eagerness to upskill on Kubernetes, helmcharts, Docker, aws commands (or equivalent in the cloud provider you have used), and scripting
• US Citizens + Background Check: our US-specific platform requires this
• SRE/DevOps Experience: if you’ve worked in these capacities before, awesome

Desirable

• As a Software Engineer on the Platform team at AutogenAI, you will work on a combination of application infrastructure and developer infrastructure challenges to make our product and product team go faster
• This can include many topics; improving auth/RBAC, building feature flag tooling to facilitate rollout of new features, spotting re-usable tooling and packaging it, or transitioning our repositories to a monorepo to improve build times
• This role is a mix of traditional backend software engineering work and platform engineering work, where you’ll help with supporting some of our US-specific infrastructure while contributing to the application development
• You will be joining a global team of DevOps Engineers and Software Engineers
• While a lot of the work has a focus on improving things behind the scenes, we are expecting to play a key role in the business this year as more enterprise customers onboard and require platform changes to effectively integrate with them – so there are many opportunities ahead to have direct business impact through this role
• You'll be supporting our US-specific infrastructure as part of a team: A lot of our engineering functions are based in the UK, but we have US-specific hosting requirements due to our FedRAMP High authorization
• This is a strategic business focus for the company
• To this end, you’ll be part of an oncall rotation for this environment
• Building and maintaining application infrastructure: This is the layer of the product that isn’t tied to a specific feature, but impacts the whole product – e.g. auth, RBAC, logging, monitoring
• You will work closely within your team to make major improvements and changes to the application infrastructure
• Improving the developer experience at AutogenAI: This encompasses deployment pipelines, local/remote development tooling, and anything that might improve the developer experience
• This will be a combination of planned major improvements, and ad hoc improvements that you might spot and implement in an agile way
• Collaborating with the wider engineering team: you will have a lot of autonomy in this role to suggest the next improvements to implement; this means you should be building ties with the wider engineering team so you can figure out what might help them
• You will collaborate with them through joint projects, troubleshooting, and knowledge sharing
