Senior Software Engineer – Cloud Core Alerts PlatformWe are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build scalable, fault‑tolerant, and highly available systems that process millions of events and alerts in real time. Our Domain Includes
Alert Streaming Systems: Real‑time alerting pipelines using Apache Flink and Amazon Kinesis.
Event Systems: SOA‑based event platforms leveraging gRPC and streaming architectures to power the MongoDB activity feed at scale.
Communication Systems: Distributed services to deliver alert notifications through email, SMS, Slack, PagerDuty with reliability and resilience.
Third‑Party Integrations: Securely manage customer credentials and integrate with external observability providers, ensuring encryption at rest and in transit.
Cross‑team Collaboration: Partner with broader Customer Observability teams to provide unified telemetry and monitoring experiences.
What You’ll Do
Design and build distributed systems that process millions of events per second with high availability and low latency.
Lead end‑to‑end projects from design to production, ensuring scalability, observability, and operational excellence.
Evolve our streaming alerting and eventing platforms, improving reliability, throughput, and developer experience.
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to integrate alerting, event, and communication services into the broader customer observability ecosystem.
Develop secure, multi‑tenant integrations with third‑party providers, handling sensitive customer credentials safely.
Champion best practices in distributed systems design, including resilience, scalability, and fault tolerance.
Mentor and guide other engineers, sharing expertise on distributed architectures and streaming technologies.
Who You Are
Experienced in distributed systems with at least 6+ years of backend engineering experience (Java, Go, or similar).
Skilled in streaming data pipelines, ideally with Apache Flink, Kafka, or Kinesis.
Familiar with service‑oriented architectures and inter‑service communication using gRPC or REST.
Strong understanding of AWS (or other hyperscalers), cloud networking, and infrastructure‑as‑code patterns.
Knowledgeable in encryption, authentication, and secure data handling for multi‑tenant SaaS systems.
Comfortable working in high‑scale environments with millions of events and alerts per day.
A strong communicator, collaborator, and problem solver.
Technologies We Use
Languages & Frameworks: Java
Streaming & Messaging: Apache Flink, Amazon Kinesis, Kafka
Service Frameworks: gRPC, Protobuf, REST
Datastores: MongoDB, S3
Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform
