Senior Software Engineer - Platform & Infrastructure

Senior Software Engineer who builds the platform our sound systems run on, and who takes responsibility for how it behaves in production. You will spend your time writing software: services, controllers, agents, and tooling that provision, configure, observe, and update our systems.

What you'll do

• Architect and implement services to provision, configure, and manage server fleets across AWS and local clusters.
• Create control-plane logic for venue systems to ensure consistency, health monitoring, rollout management, and recovery, even during uplink disruptions.
• Establish end-to-end provisioning workflows for embedded Linux hardware, spanning from initial manufacturing to customer deployment.
• Develop APIs and developer tooling that empower engineering teams to independently deploy, observe, and troubleshoot their services.
• Own the AWS infrastructure behind our connected services: remote access, access control, telemetry ingestion, remote backup, secret management, and monitoring.
• Operate and evolve the on-premises Kubernetes footprint at venues, including air-gapped and intermittently connected installations.
• Advise and collaborate with product teams on building distributed systems that are scalable, secure, and observable.
• Be part of a compensated on-call rotation.

What you'll need

• Several years of professional software engineering experience, most of it spent designing and shipping production systems.
• Fluency in software engineering as a craft: concurrency, error handling, testing, and designing APIs that other teams build on.
• Working knowledge of the Kubernetes control plane and the operator/controller pattern.
• Hands-on experience with AWS, and a firm belief in infrastructure as code. Terraform and Ansible are what we use today.
• Comfort across several languages, and the ability to pick up a new one when the problem calls for it. Our platform work is mostly Go and Python.
• Experience building distributed systems, and a clear understanding of how they fail: partitions, partial rollouts, clock skew, retries, and reconciliation.
• Strong command of Linux, scripting, and automation.
• Strong communication skills in English and willingness to take part in compensated on-call and weekend work when installations need it.

Nice to have

• Experience with NATS, Prometheus/Thanos, or PostgreSQL in production.
• Experience with air-gapped or intermittently connected installations.
• Experience running Kubernetes in production.
• Experience with embedded Linux, device fleet management, or IoT security.

What they offer

• Flexible hybrid setup with trust-based working hours.
• Competitive and fair pay.
• Subsidised public transport, lunch allowances, Urban Sports, and company pension scheme.
• Individual development plans, mentoring and coaching.
