About The Role This is a full-time, remote role located in Europe, for a Senior Software Engineer in our Cloud team.

As a Senior Software Engineer (Cloud), you will be responsible for designing, developing, and deploying cloud-based software solutions that leverage cloud platforms and technologies. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements and develop scalable and reliable cloud applications.

We're fully remote and work async-first, so being self-directed and having good communication skills are required.

Important: this role is not a DevOps or SRE role. It requires hands-on experience writing code and building highly reliable cloud-based systems using Golang and Terraform. What You'll Do Cloud Application Development:

• Design, develop, and deploy cloud-based applications and services using platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Implement event sourced architecture principles.
• Collaborate with architects, product owners, and stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into scalable and efficient software solutions.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code in Go.

Cloud Infrastructure And Services

• Configure and manage cloud infrastructure components and services.
• Utilize orchestration and secret management services to manage the lifecycle of critical applications in production environments.
• Utilise PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS offerings to build cost-efficient, scalable, and resilient production applications.

Operational Support

• Integrate observability frameworks and tooling to enable efficient operations of customer-facing production systems.
• Develop internal tooling to provide scoped access for stakeholders to enable the business to scale.
• Implement security best practices, tooling, and frameworks to protect production systems and customer data while satisfying compliance requirements.
• Assist in incident response, from initial triage to root cause analysis and remediation implementation.
• Participate in 24x7 on-call rotation.

Performance Optimization And Scalability

• Identify performance bottlenecks in cloud applications and optimise code, infrastructure, and configurations to improve operational and cost efficiencies.
• Design and implement scalable architectures that can handle increasing user loads and data volumes.

Collaboration And Knowledge Sharing

• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, product owners, technical sales, customer engagement, and support engineers to ensure successful project delivery.
• Share knowledge and best practices with team members and contribute to the continuous improvement of development processes and standards.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in cloud computing and software engineering.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in software development, with a focus on cloud-based solutions.
