Senior Software Engineer focused on designing, building, and operating distributed backend systems for feature-flag delivery.
Обязанности
- Software powers the world, and empowers teams to deliver and control it safely. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Flag Delivery team, you will own the critical-path systems that stream feature-flag configuration to every connected SDK globally, in near real time. These systems run at high scale and have to stay reliable, low-latency, and correct; when they fail, customers lose control of their features.
- This is added headcount on a growing team. You will work on the next generation of the flag-delivery architecture, streaming rollouts, and reliability and scale hardening. Our stack is Go, AWS, Terraform, and Datadog, but exact tool match matters less than deep backend expertise and a track record of owning production systems.
- Design, build, and operate the distributed systems that deliver feature-flag configuration to SDKs.
- Own and improve the reliability, latency, and scalability of our streaming and polling infrastructure.
- Debug and resolve complex production issues, sharing the team’s on-call rotation.
- Partner with SDK, Core Product, and Data Platform teams on how flags reach customers.
- Write maintainable, well-tested code and engage in code reviews, design reviews, and production-readiness discussions.
- Drive architectural decisions, trading off performance, cost, and operability.
- Raise the bar on observability, deployment safety, and operational process for Flag Delivery.
Требования
- 6+ years of professional backend engineering, with significant work on distributed or high-throughput production systems.
- Track record designing, building, operating, and debugging reliable, low-latency services.
- Strong production ownership, including on-call experience and a focus on reliability and observability.
- Proficient in at least one backend language (Go, Rust, Python) and comfortable on a cloud platform (AWS or equivalent).

- Modern software delivery was supposed to be the foundation for a thriving digital business but reality has proven otherwise. Slow, inefficient development cycles, costly outages, and fragmented customer experiences are preventing developers from building their best software. The platform helps developers innovate on new features faster while protecting them with a safety valve to instantly rewind when things go wrong. Developers can target product experiences to any customer segment and maximize the business impact of every feature. And by gradually rolling out new application components, they escape nightmare "big-bang" technology migrations.
- The platform was built to guide engineers to the next frontier of DevOps by:
- Improving the velocity and stability of software releases, without the fear of end customer outages
- Delivering targeted experiences by easily personalizing features to customer cohorts
- Maximizing the business impact of every feature through the ability to experiment and optimize
- Coordinating the release and optimization of software to provide consistent experiences across mobile platforms and device types
- Improving the effectiveness and productivity of engineering teams, by providing insights into engineering cadence and stability
