Staff Systems Software Engineer, Infrastructure Platform

• Design and implement core platform services including the API gateway, scheduler, lifecycle orchestrator, and synchronisation services using Go and cloud-native patterns
• Build RESTful APIs with authentication (OIDC, RBAC), authorisation, versioning, and observability, architecting the inventory database system using PostgreSQL for resource metadata, capabilities, and state management
• Develop intelligent scheduling and orchestration logic that matches workload requirements to resource capabilities with support for automated pooling, reservation modes, and hybrid allocation strategies
• Build developer CLI tooling and integrate with the control plane, enabling developers to discover, allocate, and manage infrastructure resources through intuitive commands
• Implement provisioning workflows that coordinate firmware flashing, health checks, power cycling, and resource validation across diverse automotive hardware configurations
• Collaborate with stakeholders across Infrastructure Engineering, Quality Engineering, and Hardware Infrastructure to understand workflows and integrate with existing systems
• Lead architectural discussions, conduct code reviews, document technical decisions, and mentor team members on distributed systems patterns and Go development
• Work with tools and technologies including Go, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Nomad, Consul, RESTful APIs with OIDC authentication and RBAC authorisation, Datadog, S3-compatible object storage (MinIO), CI/CD pipelines, and Git/GitHub

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent work experience
• 8+ years of software engineering experience with a strong track record of building and operating production distributed systems
• Deep platform or infrastructure engineering experience, with hands-on work building APIs, schedulers, orchestrators, or similar systems at scale
• Strong proficiency in Go, with ability to write clean, maintainable, and performant production code for backend services
• Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals including consistency models, failure handling, idempotency, retry patterns, and circuit breakers
• Experience with cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes, Nomad, Consul, or similar orchestration and service discovery platforms
• Strong API design skills with understanding of RESTful patterns, authentication and authorisation models (OIDC, RBAC), versioning strategies, and error handling
• Deep experience with relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL, including schema design, indexing strategies, query optimisation, and migration management
• Architectural thinking with ability to evaluate trade-offs, balance simplicity with flexibility, design for current requirements and future growth, and document decisions effectively
• Strong communication skills with ability to explain complex technical concepts to both engineering and business stakeholders
• Ownership mentality and comfort with "you build it, you run it" culture from initial design through deployment, monitoring, and production incident response

• Experience building Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS) systems that manage physical or virtual resources
• Background in automotive software development, embedded systems, or hardware-in-the-loop testing environments
• Hands-on experience with HashiCorp stack (Nomad, Consul, Vault) for orchestration, service discovery, and secrets management
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation
• Experience with observability stacks including Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, distributed tracing, and structured logging
• Understanding of security best practices for multi-tenant systems, secrets management, compliance requirements, and defence in depth strategies
• Experience with event-driven architectures, message queues (Kafka, NATS, Redis Streams), and stream processing systems
• Knowledge of GraphQL API design and implementation
• Track record of mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction across teams
• Experience migrating from legacy infrastructure to modern platforms whilst maintaining service reliability and business continuity
