Our team builds the Zero Touch Platform, an internal automation platform built with Golang and Temporal (a workflow orchestration engine) that eliminates manual operational toil at scale. You will develop workflows, APIs, and services that replace what previously required human intervention with reliable, tested automation. You will also participate in on-call rotations and incident response. Understanding production firsthand gives you the context to build automation that solves real problems. This role combines significant software development with standard DevOps configuration
and production ownership.

Location - This role is based out of our Seattle or Boston office and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in-person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays, unless there is an approved workplace accommodation. We believe that connection fuels innovation, and our in-office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship, and shared success.

  • Build robust, easy-to-use foundational platforms and tools that enable engineering teams to provision services rapidly, consistently, securely, and cost-effectively.
  • Participate in on-call rotations and incident response. Use operational experience to identify and prioritize the next automation targets.
  • Debug and resolve issues in cloud-native distributed systems.
  • Influence and educate the engineering organization to adopt new and improved architectural patterns.
  • Provide robust documentation for use by engineers to promote self-service.
  • Take calculated risks, champion new ideas, and cultivate your craft.
What You Bring
  • This position involves handling of classified federal data; under federal regulations, it is open to U.S. citizens only.
  • 5+ years of applicable experience.
  • Experience managing cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or similar.
  • Experience using managed languages such as Python, Go, C#, Java, or similar.
  • Experience operating in Kubernetes platforms like AKS, EKS, or similar.
  • Experience utilizing CI/CD platforms to automate provisioning infrastructure, software builds, tests, and releases.
  • Experience using observability tools such as APM, logging, and metrics to assist with debugging issues.
  • Experience using Infrastructure as Code tools for provisioning infrastructure such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or similar.
  • Builder-operator mindset with proven production ownership (uptime, SLOs, on-call, incident leadership).
  • Empathy to support the needs of software engineers.
Benefits that Benefit You

  • Discretionary paid time off
  • Paid parental leave for all
