Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Software Engineer - **Company:** Arpio, Inc. - **Location:** Durham, NC, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Amazon Web Services, Business Logic, Microsoft Azure, Software as a Service, Code Review, Distributed Systems, Python (Programming Language), Oracle (Applications), Cloud Services, Software Engineering, Concurrency, Backend, Build Management, AngularJS, Software Coding - **Published:** July 17, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=f5c3d8cf9842e9fd ## About the Role * 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and operating production systems. * Hands-on experience building on at least one major cloud provider (AWS or Azure preferred; GCP, Oracle, or others welcome). * Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, concurrency, and the realities of operating software at scale. * A pragmatic, well-tested approach to writing code. Our stack is Python and Angular; deep experience in either is a plus, but we expect strong engineers to ramp on a new language or framework quickly. * Comfort working close to infrastructure: APIs, networking, and the operational behavior of cloud services, not just application logic on top of them. * Strong written and verbal communication; you can explain a tricky design clearly and disagree productively., * You take ownership. You see a problem through from ambiguity to a shipped, monitored, working solution, and you stick around for what happens after it ships. * You value simplicity. You reach for the clearest design that solves the real problem, and you're comfortable removing complexity rather than adding it. * You communicate openly. You write things down, surface trade-offs, and make it easy for teammates to build on your work. * You operate with autonomy. You don't wait to be told what to do. You find the important work and drive it. * You're a steady hand. You stay calm and methodical under pressure, which is exactly the temperament recovery software demands. ## Description As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll work on the platform that enterprises trust to keep them running through outages, ransomware attacks, and human error. You'll design and build the systems that replicate live cloud environments, keep a low-cost 'pilot light' continuously synchronized with production, and execute one-click failover that meets aggressive RTO and RPO targets. This is deep, cloud-native work: you'll spend your days reasoning about distributed systems, cloud provider APIs, and the failure modes that only show up when something has actually gone wrong. We build our backend in Python and our front end in Angular. The bar is high, because when a customer invokes Arpio, our software simply has to work. You'll join a team where your decisions carry real weight. There's room to own meaningful pieces of the product end to end, shape technical direction, and grow alongside a company that's expanding its footprint across cloud providers., * Design, build, and operate core platform services that replicate and recover complex cloud environments with speed and precision. * Develop and extend Arpio's application-aware orchestration engine, mapping dependencies and recovering entire application stacks. * Work directly against cloud provider APIs (AWS and Azure today), building robust abstractions that absorb their differences and edge cases. * Build for failure: design systems that behave correctly during outages and degraded conditions, since that's exactly when our customers rely on them. * Own features end to end, from design and implementation through testing, deployment, monitoring, and support. * Contribute to the reliability, scalability, and security of a fully-managed SaaS platform that protects enterprise production workloads. * Raise the engineering bar through thoughtful code review, technical design discussions, and mentorship of other engineers. ## Related Videos - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
