About the role

Senior Software Engineer focused on understanding, modeling, and optimizing infrastructure demand across large-scale cloud services. Combines systems engineering, capacity management, and observability to help engineering teams forecast resource needs, improve efficiency, and scale infrastructure without compromising reliability or performance.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with engineering teams to understand complex application architectures, dependencies, workload characteristics, operational requirements, and underlying infrastructure.
  • Develop a deep understanding of how services consume infrastructure across compute, storage, data, network, observability, and other platform resources, and translate that into measurable resource requirements that evolve with application architecture and business needs.
  • Develop scalable engineering solutions, tooling, and automation to provide visibility into resource consumption, validate capacity requirements, identify capacity risks and efficiency opportunities, and establish safeguards for managing infrastructure.
  • Identify and drive software, configuration, architectural, and operational improvements that increase overall system efficiency while preserving reliability, performance, and scalability.
  • Establish repeatable methodologies, engineering practices, and standards for resource demand modeling, capacity management, and infrastructure efficiency across diverse applications and workloads.
  • Collaborate across application engineering, infrastructure, SRE, capacity planning, finance, business partners, and leadership to align resource requirements and technical solutions, and articulate business impact and tradeoffs of infrastructure decisions.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience developing, operating, or architecting large-scale distributed services and infrastructure.
  • Strong software engineering skills and proficiency in Java, Python, or Go, with experience designing and implementing production-quality systems, tooling, and automation.
  • Ability to understand and reason about complex application architectures spanning multiple technologies, services, dependencies, and infrastructure layers.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems and cloud infrastructure, including compute, storage, networking, data technologies, and containerized environments.
  • Experience using observability and telemetry, including metrics, logs, and performance data, to understand system behavior and operational characteristics.
  • Ability to translate complex technical problems into scalable engineering solutions.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to build effective technical partnerships across engineering organizations.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
