We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team. You get to go in at the ground level of how our production infrastructure is designed, built, tested and deployed.
Your work will directly influence how we build Astro, Observe and our IDE product, as well as how global organizations orchestrate data pipelines at scale—making them faster, more reliable, and easier to manage.
If you’re driven by impact, excited by scale, and ready to work on the kind of infrastructure challenges that push the boundaries of what’s possible in cloud-native systems, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for
Make high-quality, data-driven and experience-driven decisions on how we build this and the next generation of our production platform, then deliver the results
Own and build how we test, build and deploy code in a high-scale PaaS environment
Collaborate across the whole company on how we design production systems, set standards and make technology choices for new and existing products, and how these fit together
Deliver results - we routinely “change the wheels on the bus while it’s moving”, in a predictable, safe and reliable way
Be at the forefront of how we work together as a Platform Engineering team
Blaze a Trail: Work on a small but growing team on building out the Platform/Reliability practice for the company – this role reports directly to the VP of Reliability
Be an Owner: Be directly involved in decision-making on what we work on, as well as how we work on it. Make promises, and keep them
Do Sensible Things: Be directly involved in determining how our platform works. Participate in incident management and determine sensible practices as the platform evolves
Garage Door Open: Create and maintain comprehensive internal documentation for systems and processes, ensuring clarity and accessibility
Benefits
Remote friendly, work from anywhere
If you’re in a city with an office, it’s there (and stocked with snacks) when you need it
Co-workers in over 40 states and 15 countries around the world
Health, dental, and vision insurance at little to no cost for individuals, and at competitive rates for your dependents
Disability and life insurance policies in case something happens
Unlimited vacation - we do track vacation days and actively encourage people to take it (on average, Astronomers take 20 days of vacation per year)
Parental leave
Laptop of your choice, and a stipend to help with your work-from-home setup
Monthly $170 pre-tax stipend intended to cover your cellphone and WiFi bills
Yearly internal summit for all employees
Regular access to conferences, workshops, and meetups in the ecosystem
Preferred experience
Ability to estimate the scope of work accurately and coordinate with stakeholders to address risks and ensure successful project delivery
Experience with observability principles and technologies, including SLI/SLO definition and tracking
Strong experience in Non-Abstract Systems design and implementation
Experience with (and ideally strong opinions on) software development best practices, such as code review, testing, CI/CD, version control, automation and debugging
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with experience in working with a globally distributed team in delivery
Strong proficiency in Python, Golang and in-depth experience with Kubernetes (CKA or equivalent or greater)
Bonus points if you have:
Proactive approach to identifying and addressing issues, with a focus on ownership and accountability
A passion for reliability and operational excellence. A low tolerance for toil and other nonsense
Experience working on a SaaS/PaaS product across multiple cloud providers
