Sr Software Development Engineer

About the role

The Senior Software Development Engineer is a broad senior engineering role that spans application development, platform engineering, and internal tooling. This role takes ownership of complex problems that cross the boundary between product code and delivery infrastructure - designing backend services and APIs, defining the CI/CD and cloud platform strategy, building internal developer tooling, and setting engineering standards that raise the quality bar across EPM Engineering. The Senior Platform Developer uses AI tooling as a force multiplier to operate effectively at this breadth and mentors other engineers to do the same.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop EPM product components - backend services, APIs, and platform-layer integrations - with a focus on reliability, performance, and maintainability.
• Architect and own the CI/CD delivery platform, ensuring it supports fast, safe, and repeatable deployments across all EPM product components.
• Lead the design and implementation of cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code, with clear standards for security, reliability, and cost management.
• Build and evolve internal developer tooling and platform capabilities that improve engineering productivity across EPM Engineering.
• Define and drive the observability strategy across application and infrastructure layers, ensuring teams have the telemetry and alerting needed to maintain production health.
• Lead incident response for complex or high-severity events at either the platform or application layer, driving systemic improvements that reduce recurrence.
• Apply AI tooling to accelerate work across the full engineering surface - code generation, infrastructure review, incident analysis, API design, test generation, and documentation - and actively coach others in effective AI-assisted development practices.
• Define platform and development standards that Engineering teams can follow, reducing friction between product development and delivery.
• Mentor Associate and mid-level engineers, establishing a culture of engineering excellence that spans both product and platform work.
• Partner with Security and Architecture to ensure both the platform and application code meet compliance requirements and support the organization's security posture.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience; 5+ years of professional engineering experience with demonstrated breadth across application development and platform or infrastructure engineering.
• Strong backend development skills in at least one language (Python, Java, Go, C#, or similar), with a track record of designing and delivering production-quality services and APIs.
• Deep expertise with cloud infrastructure on at least one major provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including advanced networking, IAM, cost management, and compliance controls.
• Proven experience designing and operating CI/CD platforms at scale, with a track record of improving delivery speed and release reliability.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code practice using Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent, with experience establishing team-wide standards.
• Advanced Kubernetes experience, including cluster operations, workload management, networking, and security hardening.
• Experience building internal developer tooling or platform capabilities that improve engineering productivity at the team or organization level.
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement observability strategies spanning both application and infrastructure, including distributed tracing, structured logging, and actionable alerting.
• Strong security mindset with practical experience integrating security scanning, secrets management, and compliance controls into both pipelines and application design.
• Demonstrated leadership including mentoring engineers, driving adoption of standards, and influencing engineering culture across product and platform work.
• What Success Looks Like
• EPM product components are well-architected, reliable, and ship on a consistent delivery cadence.
• The delivery platform enables Engineering to ship product changes safely and quickly, with high confidence.
• Infrastructure is well-defined, auditable, and managed ent
