Senior Software Engineer

Description

At the company, you'll have the opportunity to create impact at scale — tackling meaningful challenges, growing your skills and seeing your contributions impact lives around the world.

Join the company and do work that matters – to you, to your community, and to the world. Progress starts with you.

As a Software Development Engineer on the Product Reliability Engineering (PRE) team, you won’t just watch those systems run- you’ll be one of the engineers building, automating, and evolving them.

PRE is not a traditional ops team. We are a software engineering organization that treats infrastructure as code, reliability as a product, and automation as a strategic advantage. You’ll write Python, build agentic AI tools, manage data platforms, and contribute to the distributed systems that process billions of real-time transactions. From day one, you are an engineer- and from day one, your work matters.

If you are endlessly curious about how large-scale systems stay resilient, obsess over elegant automation, and want to launch your career at the intersection of AI, infrastructure, and global financial technology — this role was built for you.

Build Automation That Scales

Design, develop, and deploy end-to-end automation for deployment pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, platform operations, and release orchestration across complex production environments.

Write clean, production-grade Python (and Go or Bash where it counts) to eliminate toil, reduce operational risk, and improve the reliability and scalability of critical engineering workflows.

Design and implement reusable frameworks for release scheduling, validation, rollback, reporting, and configuration management that support the software delivery lifecycle.

Drive automation initiatives that improve engineering efficiency, standardization, and operational excellence across teams.

Manage & Evolve Data Platforms

Design, build, operate, and continuously improve relational database platforms supporting critical payment systems and high-volume transaction processing.

Contribute to architecture decisions, platform enhancements, and engineering solutions that improve scalability, resiliency, and performance.

Lead database health and lifecycle operations including upgrades, patching, backup and recovery strategies, and platform modernization efforts.

Analyze and optimize database performance through index tuning, execution plan analysis, replication monitoring, and capacity management.

Develop automation for database operations, configuration management, and schema deployments using tools such as Ansible, Liquibase, and CI/CD pipelines.

Build proactive monitoring, observability, and reporting solutions that identify reliability risks before they impact production services.

Ship Agentic AI & ML-Powered Tools

Design and build GenAI-powered engineering solutions that automate deployment orchestration, operational workflows, release governance, and platform management.

Integrate LLM-driven capabilities into observability, incident response, troubleshooting, and developer productivity workflows to improve operational effectiveness.

Evaluate and implement emerging AI, automation, and machine learning technologies that improve reliability, efficiency, and engineering velocity.

Contribute to agentic automation strategies that help evolve PRE into an increasingly intelligent and autonomous engineering organization.

Own Observability & Platform Health

Design and build dashboards, alerts, telemetry pipelines, and health indicators using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, or ELK to provide visibility across globally distributed systems.

Analyze platform performance, reliability, utilization, and availability data to identify trends and implement long-term improvements.

Lead troubleshooting efforts across infrastructure, applications, databases, and platform services, performing root cause analysis and driving durable corrective actions.

Design and implement self-healing, automated remediation, and auto-scaling capabilities that improve system resilience and reduce operational overhead.

Engineer for Reliability & Security

Design and implement highly available, scalable infrastructure solutions that support business-critical payment systems operating at global scale.

Ensure platforms and services meet security, compliance, governance, and resiliency requirements across cloud-native and hybrid environments.

Drive vulnerability remediation, configuration hardening, patch management, and security automation efforts to improve platform security posture.

Partner with engineering teams to build reliability and security practices directly into the software development lifecycle.

Collaborate, Learn & Grow Fast

Partner with software engineers, product managers, platform teams, and global PRE peers to design, deliver, and operate reliable engineering solutions.

Participate in architecture reviews, design discussions, code reviews, and technical planning activities, contributing engineering expertise and best practices.

Create and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, operational procedures, and engineering standards that improve team effectiveness and knowledge sharing.

Participate in on-call rotations and incident response activities, driving operational improvements and helping teams learn from production events.

Take ownership of assigned initiatives from design through implementation, deployment, and operational support while continuously seeking opportunities to improve systems and processes.

&xa;the company requires at least 3 days in office, expectations of these days will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.
