Role
We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our team. This is a hybrid role based in Bangalore, reporting to the Director, Software Engineering in the Engineering department. In this role, you will contribute as a development engineer focusing on system-level optimization, public cloud infrastructure, and core software development. You will drive efficiency by writing automation scripts, analyzing system performance, and resolving complex application-level issues in a collaborative engineering environment.
What you'll do (Role Expectations)
Working with Linux/FreeBSD-based systems for software development, including configuration and scripting for system-level optimization
Proficiently working with public cloud platforms AWS, Azure, and GCP, creating and exporting VM images
Writing and maintaining automation scripts with Python or Shell for infrastructure tasks, system monitoring, and cloud-based workloads
Performance profiling to analyze system performance and identify and troubleshoot bottlenecks in resource utilization
Collaborating with senior engineers to understand, debug, and resolve system and application-level issues
Who You Are (Success Profile)
You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
