Senior Software Engineer - Infrastructure Platform

About the role

We are looking for Senior Platform Engineers who can balance the day-to-day operations of Flo’s software systems with long-term software engineering to reduce operational toil. We need engineers who enjoy constantly learning and diving deep into the wide range of systems and technologies.

What you'll do

You will be engaging with multiple service owners across the platform to teach and implement modern interpretations of Platform, automation, SRE, observability and DevOps. This role is highly visible and impactful to the organization and will help shape Flo's Engineering culture for years to come.

• Write product or system development code.
• Review code developed by other engineers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency).
• Contribute to existing documentation or educational content and adapt content based on product/program updates and user feedback.
• Triage product or system issues and debug/track/resolve by analyzing the sources of issues and the impact on hardware, network, or service operations and quality.
• Build monitoring that alerts on symptoms rather than on outages.
• Improve operational processes (such as deployments and upgrades) to make them as boring as possible.
• Participate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide amongst available technologies.

You will be a good candidate if you:

• 3 years of experience with software development in one or more programming languages.
• Knowledge of Infrastructure as a Code (IaaC) technologies like Terraform
