About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, build, and operate core platform services that replicate and recover complex cloud environments with speed and precision.
Develop and extend Arpio's application-aware orchestration engine, mapping dependencies and recovering entire application stacks.
Work directly against cloud provider APIs (AWS and Azure today), building robust abstractions that absorb their differences and edge cases.
Build for failure: design systems that behave correctly during outages and degraded conditions, since that's exactly when our customers rely on them.
Own features end to end, from design and implementation through testing, deployment, monitoring, and support.
Contribute to the reliability, scalability, and security of a fully-managed SaaS platform that protects enterprise production workloads.
Raise the engineering bar through thoughtful code review, technical design discussions, and mentorship of other engineers.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and operating production systems.
Hands-on experience building on at least one major cloud provider (AWS or Azure preferred; GCP, Oracle, or others welcome).
Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, concurrency, and the realities of operating software at scale.
A pragmatic, well-tested approach to writing code.
Our stack is Python and Angular; deep experience in either is a plus, but we expect strong engineers to ramp on a new language or framework quickly.
Comfort working close to infrastructure: APIs, networking, and the operational behavior of cloud services, not just application logic on top of them.
Strong written and verbal communication; you can explain a tricky design clearly and disagree productively.
