About the Role
The SaaS Engineering team is responsible for providing a robust platform for our customers. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will develop tools and interfaces to automate the creation, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of production infrastructure. We operate on a large scale using cutting-edge cloud computing technologies and support mission-critical projects that can make or break customers’ success. If you thrive when asking a few quick questions and then rapidly scaffolding and testing code, we want to hear from you.
Our Backend Chapter builds and manages Lucidworks’ core cloud-based SaaS platform, focusing on all of our APIs and data management, and developing distributed systems while maintaining state and identity across the platform. As part of the Backend team, you will be critical to our customers’ success by enabling our internal teams as well as external customers to deploy, manage, and access our services and infrastructure. We are looking for someone who can help move our SaaS platform forward and build on our critical cloud systems to handle resiliency, observability, and user experience.
We are looking for experienced, collaborative engineers who care about the work, the team, and our customers. You will work collaboratively with a diverse community of personalities spread across multiple time zones, leveraging your excellent communication skills to make sure everyone is on the same page. You take initiative with your roadmap, are always two steps ahead of your to-do list, and work efficiently.
This position reports to the Senior Manager of Backend Engineering. It may include occasional travel to San Francisco HQ (with sufficient notice).
