- Web & API Architecture: 3+ years of hands-on experience in building Web Applications, SaaS products, and high-throughput RESTful APIs or microservices.
- SRE & DevOps Mindset: Demonstrated hands-on experience or operational background in SRE/DevOps practices-such as automated deployments, telemetry/monitoring, containerization, and infrastructure reliability.
- Containerization: Practical experience with containerization technologies (Docker) and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, EKS, or AKS).
- Automation & CI/CD: Experience configuring and managing continuous integration and delivery pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) and automated testing frameworks.
- AI & Developer Productivity: 1+ years of experience with AI development tools, coding assistants, and modern productivity-enhancing processes.
We're Even More Excited If You Have (Preferred Qualifications):- Public Cloud & Cloud Native: Hands-on experience with public cloud architecture (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and cloud-native services.
- Distributed Systems: Experience in service-oriented architecture (SOA), event-driven microservices, and designing/scaling high-performance distributed systems.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Experience authoring and managing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Helm, or CloudFormation.
- Databases & Data Modeling: Advanced knowledge of SQL (stored procedures, data models, transactional flows) with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and NoSQL databases.
- Messaging & Middleware: Experience with messaging and streaming platforms (Kafka, SQS, RabbitMQ), API gateways, identity/auth management, and workflow orchestration.
- Observability Tooling: Familiarity with distributed tracing, APM, and metrics collection using Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Splunk, or ELK Stack.
- Front-End Technologies: Experience with front-end technologies (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, modern JavaScript frameworks) is a plus.
- Open Source & Reliability: Active experience with open-source tools, chaos engineering, and resilient architectural patterns.
- Agile & Automation Focus: Prior experience in Scrum or Agile methodologies, with a passion for engineering excellence through automation, unit testing, and process improvements.
- FinTech Domain: FinTech, accounting, or Financial Services domain background.
Salary Range:$182,000.00-$228,000.00
Pay Transparency Statement:Placement within this range depends upon several factors, including the applicant's prior relevant job experience, skill set, and geographic location.
In addition to base pay, BlackLine also offers short-term and long-term incentive programs, based on eligibility, along with a robust offering of benefit and wellness plans.
