Responsibilities
- Design, build, operate, and evolve backend services, APIs, workers, shared libraries, and cloud-platform runtime infrastructure.
- Develop orchestration and job-execution capabilities for submission, execution tracking, status propagation, retries, cancellation, results, and operational visibility.
- Build asynchronous, queue-driven, and event-driven systems with durable state, service-to-service communication, acknowledgements, routing, and failure recovery.
- Maintain cloud-native infrastructure using containers, Kubernetes, deployment automation, persistence layers, event streams, and internal service contracts.
- Improve production reliability through health checks, metrics, tracing, structured logging, dashboards, alerting, runbooks, incident follow-up, and operational debugging.
- Lead ambiguous cross-service technical designs, review code, mentor engineers, and drive cross-team delivery.
- Design and maintain embedded Python runtime integration in a predominantly C++ engine, including plugin engines, process lifecycle, SDK components, streaming pipelines, and Python-facing APIs.
- Debug native/runtime issues involving DLL and .pyd conflicts, OpenSSL, compiled extensions, Python versions, concurrency, deadlocks, crashes, and high-throughput streaming.
- Modernize virtualenv/venv management, installer and packaging infrastructure, WiX installers, native DLL exports, and Python/CPython ABI compatibility.
- Maintain SDKs, CI/CD and code-quality tooling, architecture documentation, operational runbooks, and upgrade playbooks for Python and OpenSSL versions.
- Collaborate with security and platform teams on native-library vulnerabilities and SBOM health.
Requirements
- At least 4 years of professional software development experience is required; 5+ years is preferred, with meaningful ownership of production backend services, cloud platforms, or distributed systems.
- Strong backend experience with TypeScript/Node.js or core systems languages such as Go, Java, or Rust, with willingness to code primarily in Node.js.
- Experience designing and operating asynchronous, queue-driven, or event-driven systems, including retries, cancellation, idempotency, concurrency, ordering, timeouts, and failure handling.
- Experience with durable persistence, service contracts, RESTful APIs, and integrations across multiple services or platform components.
- Production experience with containers, Kubernetes or similar orchestration platforms, service health, scaling behavior, and operational debugging.
- Strong production-engineering ownership involving testing, observability, structured logging, metrics, tracing, incident response, and continuous reliability improvement.
- Ability to lead design discussions, communicate technical tradeoffs, mentor engineers, and drive cross-team work through ambiguity.
- Preferred experience with workflow engines, orchestration systems, job runners, task-execution platforms, runtime infrastructure, GitOps, multi-cluster environments, infrastructure automation, messaging systems, schema management, notification pipelines, distributed coordination, authentication, secrets management, authorization boundaries, and workload observability.
- 3+ years of Python and C++ design, development, and debugging experience is also stated for the embedded Python/C++ engine and SDK responsibilities.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- Preferred qualifications include REST API or SDK development, object-oriented and functional design patterns, Git-based pipelines, mentoring, networking and concurrency, distributed computing, big data and stream processing, Docker, Kubernetes, Rust or Golang, Node.js, cloud services, React, JavaScript, JSON, RPC optimization, and Alteryx platform experience.
