Software Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can design and build automation that streamlines cluster provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management, extend observability so that on-call engineers and platform users can quickly understand cluster health and performance across a growing fleet, and build self-service tooling that reduces the need for manual, one-off engineering support during onboarding. You’ll work across the CI/CD pipeline, cloud infrastructure, and Solr cluster management stack, and collaborate closely with both the platform team (managed service, deployment, and reliability) and the SRE team (alarming, capacity, on-boarding)., * Design and build automation for onboarding new Solr use cases and tenants onto the managed platform, reducing manual setup and configuration steps.

• Extend and improve observability for the Solr platform, including metrics, dashboards, alerting, and tracing, so cluster health and performance are visible at scale.
• Design and develop tooling that gives platform consumers self-service visibility into their clusters, capacity, and configuration.
• Collaborate with the Platform and SRE sub-teams to identify gaps in tooling, automation, and monitoring as the platform scales, and prioritize the highest impact improvements.
• Troubleshoot and resolve system issues, improving system availability and performance as the number of onboarded use cases grows.
• Contribute to runbooks, documentation, and internal tooling that make the platform easier for the broader team to operate and support.

• Strong proficiency in Java, including backend development.
• Experience building RESTful services and resilient, high-performance backend components.
• Experience designing and implementing CI/CD automation using Gradle, Jenkins, Spinnaker, and GitHub.
• Solid working knowledge of AWS services, including deploying and managing applications in the cloud.
• Proficiency with Kubernetes for container orchestration, deployment, and application monitoring.
• Experience building or operating observability tooling (metrics, dashboards, alerting, logging, or tracing) for distributed systems.
• Experience designing systems for high availability, scalability, and performance.
• Comfortable working independently on ambiguous problems and collaborating across multiple engineering teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Would be a plus

• Experience with Apache Solr, Elasticsearch, or other distributed search and indexing technologies.
• Experience integrating with Apache Kafka and other message queuing systems.
• Experience building internal developer platforms or self-service infrastructure tooling.
• Experience with PagerDuty or similar alerting and incident management tooling.
• Familiarity with large-scale multi-tenant infrastructure and the operational challenges of onboarding new consumers safely.

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects
• Work with a highly motivated and dedicated team
• Competitive salary
• Flexible schedule
• Benefits package - medical insurance, vision, dental, etc.
• Corporate social events
• Professional development opportunities
• Well-equipped office
• Please note that all onboarding must occur in person and you may be asked to travel to attend
