About the role

Senior Software Engineer focused on Billing Platform Engineering for Docker, building AI-agent-assisted infrastructure, observability, and scalable, safe deployment patterns for billing systems.

Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve the infrastructure supporting Billing Platform services: compute, storage, networking, CI/CD, and observability
  • Design and maintain IaC (Terraform) for billing system infrastructure on AWS; contribute to module patterns and standards for the team
  • Build and own observability systems — metrics, logging, alerting — with a focus on billing accuracy and payment reliability
  • Implement deployment patterns and runbooks that work well in an AI-agent-assisted development workflow: clear rollback procedures, safe promotion gates, automated validation
  • Partner with software engineers on service design — bringing infrastructure constraints and operational requirements into the conversation before code is written
  • Identify systemic risks in the team's systems and drive improvements, including work that reaches into adjacent teams or services
  • Participate in incident response for billing system issues; on-call rotation may be required outside standard hours
  • Mentor engineers on the team; your technical judgment should help raise the bar for how the team builds and operates

Qualifications

  • 6+ years in platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles supporting production SaaS systems at scale
  • Strong AWS expertise: ECS or EKS, RDS (Postgres preferred), networking, IAM, cost management — operational under load and incidents
  • Strong Terraform skills; reusable module patterns and improvements to team standards
  • Experience building and owning observability stacks (Datadog, Grafana, or similar) for production services
  • Strong familiarity with CI/CD systems — Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent — including pipeline design and developer experience
  • Kubernetes at an operational and architectural level
  • Track record of identifying systemic risks and driving improvements within your team and adjacent systems
  • Security-first mindset: threat modeling, blast radius analysis, least-privilege by default, audit trails as a design requirement
  • Strong written English; clear written communication for scaling work across the team
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
