About the Role
This is a Full-Stack Software Developer role aimed at new graduates and early-career developers ready to build their careers on a high-impact platform team. You'll join Launchpad, the team that builds the tools and automation behind deploying Solace brokers across public clouds and self-managed environments, running upgrades safely at scale, and keeping the operations behind Solace Cloud running smoothly.
You'll work in an AI-integrated development environment from day one - pairing with AI coding assistants like Claude Code to learn faster, write better code, and ship more. If you're excited about combining full-stack development with Kubernetes, cloud, and modern AI-assisted workflows, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do
- Contribute to our upgrade automation platform - the system that keeps Solace brokers current across customer environments
- Build features that enable the deployment of Solace brokers in the cloud and in self-managed environments
- Develop internal tools that streamline operations and make our platform team more effective
- Deliver features as a full-stack developer - Java/Spring Boot on the backend, React on the frontend
- Use AI coding assistants and AI-integrated development workflows in your daily work
- Write automated tests and contribute to CI/CD pipelines
- Communicate with the team through meetings, demos, and documentation
- Grow through mentorship, code reviews, and hands-on exposure to cloud-native infrastructure at scale
What You'll Bring to the Role
- S. degree in Software/Computer/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or graduating soon)
- Foundational experience with Java and Spring Boot - through coursework, internships, personal projects, or early professional work
- Foundational experience with React or another modern JavaScript client framework
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes - comfortable with pods, deployments, services, and basic troubleshooting
- Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Fluency with AI coding assistants and AI-integrated development workflows (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor)
- Product taste and product thinking - genuine interest in who uses what you build and why, and an instinct for what makes software feel great to use, not just work
- Experience with REST APIs and databases (SQL, NoSQL)
- Comfortable writing various types of automated tests
- A self-starter, motivated, eager and willing to learn
- A team player who collaborates well within cross-functional teams
- A clear communicator who explains technical ideas simply
Desirable Skills
- Deeper Kubernetes experience - writing manifests, Helm charts, working with operators, or operating production clusters
- Hands-on experience with multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Experience with managed Kubernetes services - EKS, AKS, or GKE
- Experience with containers, microservices, and cloud-native infrastructure
- Experience with event-driven architecture (EDA) and event brokers
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and technologies (GitHub Actions, Harness)
