Employers can only use E-Verify once you have accepted a job offer and completed the Form I-9. For more information on E Verify, or if you believe that your employer has violated its E-Verify responsibilities, please contact DHS. ## Description We are seeking an experienced Staff Software Engineer who can operate across platform engineering, application architecture, infrastructure, automation, DevSecOps, and data pipeline systems. This is not a narrow platform role. Success in this role requires someone who can jump into complex problems across the stack, quickly understand the system, design a practical path forward, and build the solution. The right person will be equally comfortable improving cloud foundations, debugging application architecture, building automation, hardening security patterns, improving developer experience, and helping teams make better technical decisions. You will also serve as a senior technical partner across engineering teams, stepping into a variety of systems that require ownership and architectural guidance. You crave broad technical ownership and can raise the quality, speed, and reliability of engineering across the organization., * Architecting and improving cloud foundations, especially on Google Cloud Platform, to support scalable, secure, well-governed workloads. * Designing and building platform capabilities across GCP, Kubernetes, serverless, CI/CD, GitOps, observability, AI, and developer tooling. * Establishing and improving GitOps workflows using tools such as GitHub Actions, Argo CD, Terraform, Helm, and automated release pipelines. * Managing and evolving enterprise Kubernetes clusters, including workload standards, deployment patterns, security controls, and operational practices. * Building reusable Terraform modules, Helm charts, templates, SDKs, scripts, and internal tools that reduce repeated manual work. * Improving developer experience by creating paved roads, self-service workflows, better documentation, standardized environments, and reliable delivery pipelines. * Implementing secure-by-default engineering patterns for IAM, Workload Identity Federation, secrets management, network security, auditability, and least-privilege access. * Helping software teams integrate with observability tooling such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry, or similar systems. * Troubleshooting difficult production issues across applications, infrastructure, data workflows, cloud services, and deployment systems. * Partnering with application, data, product, and UX stakeholders to design practical solutions to complex business and technical problems. * Supporting data and AI platform needs where needed, including PostgreSQL, dbt, BigQuery, Snowflake, CDC, Data Lakes, and other data tools. * Comfortable maintaining both infrastructure and DAGs for an orchestration platform at scale, preferably Airflow. * Mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar through code review, architecture review, pairing, documentation, and direct implementation. * Evaluating vendors, frameworks, and platform tooling with a pragmatic build-versus-buy mindset. * Helping improve cloud cost visibility, resource governance, budget controls, and FinOps practices., Applicants with disabilities may be entitled to reasonable accommodation under the terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act and certain state or local laws. A reasonable accommodation is a change in the way things are normally done which will ensure an equal employment opportunity without imposing undue hardship on Wpromote. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [From Doubt to Confidence: How Sentry Uses Verdaccio to Bulletproof SDK Releases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/739-from-doubt-to-confidence-how-sentry-uses-verdaccio-to-bulletproof-sdk-releases) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Debugging in the Dark](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1658-debugging-in-the-dark) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Are Software Engineer Wages Being Pushed Down?
