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

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
• 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 means we need folks onshore in the USA to support this. 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
