The Senior Software Development Engineer joins the Public Cloud Foundations team within Platform Engineering to build internal cloud platforms. You will design, build, and own backend services and APIs that abstract public cloud complexity into self-service products, including account provisioning, networking, IAM, and policy. Your daily work involves turning manual infrastructure tasks into automated software, designing for observability and self-healing, and treating internal engineering teams as customers. You will utilize Golang, Python, AWS, and Terraform to create paved paths and managed products like container base images. The role solves the problem of operational surface area by replacing manual runbooks with engineered software interfaces. You must possess strong system design skills for distributed systems, experience with CI/CD pipelines, and a product mindset to drive platform roadmap decisions.
