Senior Software Engineer (Customer Platform)

Описание

This role is for a Senior Software Engineer to join Chainguard's Platform team, which is responsible for customer-facing platform capabilities such as notification systems, authentication, and public APIs. It's a highly impactful role focused on designing and building backend services and APIs that are consumed across multiple product lines.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and evolve customer-facing backend services and public APIs by understanding how different Chainguard products and customer segments use shared platform capabilities
• Ensure APIs and services work well for all users
• Own features end-to-end: from design through implementation, rollout, and iteration, in close partnership with Product Management and the Experience (front-end) team
• Create technical design documents and drive your own design plans with clarity and confidence
• Contribute to a product-driven roadmap with real deadlines and clear outcomes, helping the team prioritize tradeoffs and ship iteratively

Requirements

• Strong backend engineering experience 5+ years of experience building production services and APIs in a modern cloud environment
• Proficiency with Go (Golang) or strong readiness to ramp quickly
• Experience designing, implementing, and evolving public APIs that are consumed externally and internally across multiple products or services
• Ability to discuss topics like versioning, backwards compatibility, auth, and usability from real-world experience
• Familiarity with microservices and cloud-native architectures, including containers and Kubernetes, and how to build services that are observable and resilient in production
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to work with PMs, designers, and engineers across multiple product lines
• Proven ability to thrive in a remote, startup environment: self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to work with people who will challenge you to grow as a developer

Nice to have

• Prior experience building platform or shared services that span multiple products or customer experiences
• Experience in the cloud-native, containers, or security ecosystem, or with tools in the broader CNCF space
• Meaningful open source contributions, especially as a maintainer or regular contributor in relevant projects

We offer

• Flexible and remote-first culture: work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs
• Stock options upon hire and promotion, participation in secondary offerings, and 10 years to exercise options
• 100% covered health, vision, and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents
• Flexible time off
• 18 weeks paid parental leave for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year
