ABOUT THE ROLE:

Senior MTS - Software Development Engineer

The Observability team delivers performant, resilient, and scalable solutions that power our observability platform. This infrastructure spans the full data lifecycle - collection, transmission, processing, storage, and analysis - underpinning Aviatrix's end-to-end multi-cloud networking solution.

We are looking for a Sr. Member of Technical Staff (Sr. MTS) to join the Observability team. In this role, you will independently solve technically difficult problems, contribute to platform architecture, and deliver impactful improvements to the security, quality, reliability, and performance of our observability systems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Technical Execution

• Design and implement solutions to a wide range of technically difficult problems across observability plane modules, using primarily Golang, Javascript and Python
• Deliver features and improvements independently; demonstrate initiative and sound technical judgment throughout the development lifecycle
• Write clean, testable, and maintainable code consistent with objectives set by Engineering leadership
• Develop imaginative, thorough, and practicable solutions that incrementally improve product security, quality, reliability, performance, and ease of operations for customers

Project Ownership & Planning

• Set milestones for assigned tasks and prioritize work to meet release schedules
• Proactively identify risks and communicate progress at critical checkpoints, ensuring soundness of technical judgment and overall accuracy of deliverables
• Work effectively under general supervision, with the ability to drive tasks to completion with minimal day-to-day guidance

Architecture & Design

• Apply and advance core technical standards, principles, and best practices in data pipeline development and observability infrastructure
• Participate actively in design and code reviews, providing constructive feedback that improves quality and shares knowledge across the team
• Evaluate and recommend approaches for collecting, transmitting, processing, and storing large-scale observability data in multi-cloud environments

Collaboration & Communication

• Engage frequently across organizational boundaries, representing the team in providing solutions to technical issues associated with specific projects or customer escalations
• Contribute actively to team and Engineering meetings; may participate in cross-functional teams
• Communicate technical decisions clearly - both in written documentation and verbal discussion - to engineering peers and stakeholders

Quality & Operational Excellence

• Contribute to improving test coverage, potentially beyond core project areas
• Participate in on-call rotations; take ownership of diagnosing and resolving production issues in observability systems
• Drive incremental improvements to engineering practices, including testing standards and operational runbooks

REQUIREMENTS

• 3+ years of relevant software development experience with a BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• Demonstrated ability to independently solve defined but technically difficult problems end-to-end
• Proficiency in Golang (strongly preferred) and/or Python
• Experience building and operating microservice-based architectures
• Strong knowledge of data pipeline development and ETL best practices
• Excellent software engineering fundamentals: clean, testable, well-documented code
• Strong communication skills - able to represent the team in technical discussions and customer-facing escalations
• Collaborative team player who thrives in startup-style environments

Preferred

• Prior experience with one or more Cloud Service Providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Alibaba Cloud)
• Experience with nodejs and javascript backend UI development.
• Experience deploying and managing big data or streaming technologies (e.g., Kafka, Flink, Spark, ClickHouse) on Kubernetes
• Familiarity with observability tooling and standards (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, distributed tracing)
