Platform Integration Software EngineerAbout the OpportunityWe're hiring a Platform Integration Software Engineer to help take advanced detection systems from prototype to production-grade, mission-critical services. This is a fast-moving, high-impact engagement where you'll work on two parallel, real-world engineering initiatives that support large-scale infrastructure operations.
If you enjoy event-driven systems, care deeply about reliability and observability, and want to see your work deployed and used quickly-this role was built for you.
Required Skills & Experience1) Cloud Software Engineering - 8+ Years- Strong experience building cloud-native services (functions, containers)
- Expertise in concurrency, state management, and performance tuning
- Proven ability to design for failure and operational resilience
- Comfortable owning services end-to-end, including documentation and support readiness
2) Event-Driven Architecture - 5+ Years- Hands-on experience with Event Hubs, Kafka, or Service Bus
- Deep understanding of replay, checkpointing, backpressure, and delivery semantics
- Experience managing schema evolution and versioned event payloads
- Strong monitoring and DLQ management practices
3) CI/CD & Observability - 5+ Years- Building secure CI/CD pipelines with automated testing and quality gates
- Instrumenting systems with logs, metrics, and distributed tracing
- Defining and monitoring SLOs; creating actionable alerts and dashboards
- Shipping changes safely and frequently in production environments
Project OverviewThis program consists of two concurrent workstreams, each executed by a small, cross-functional team:
- Retrofit systems for existing infrastructure
- New-build systems for next-generation deployments
Each team includes:
- 2 Software Engineers
- 1 Product Manager
- 1 Data Scientist
- (Occasionally) a Mechanical or Electrical SME
You will work closely with a paired Platform Integration Engineer, with minimal cross-team dependency-allowing for speed, ownership, and focus.
What You'll Be DoingThis role is centered on productionization and operationalization-turning detection logic into reliable, scalable, and observable cloud services.
Day-to-day responsibilities include:
- Designing and implementing event-driven services to move detection data through production systems
- Building durable producers and consumers with replay, checkpointing, backpressure, and ordering guarantees
- Implementing reliability patterns: retries, idempotency, DLQs, and defensive error handling
- Creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with security and quality gates
- Instrumenting services with logging, metrics, tracing, SLOs, and alerts
- Writing runbooks and operational documentation to support production readiness
- Partnering with analytics and solutions engineers to harden low/no-code detectors into production services
- Supporting production validation and incident triage when needed
Technology Environment- Languages: C# (preferred), C++ or Rust acceptable
- Cloud & Messaging: Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Event Hubs / Kafka, Service Bus
- DevOps: Azure DevOps CI/CD
- Architecture: Event-driven, distributed systems
- Focus Areas: Reliability, observability, scale, operational excellence
What Sets Top Candidates ApartTop performers in this role:- Design clean, resilient, highly observable systems
- Anticipate failure modes before they happen
- Understand messaging semantics deeply-not just "how," but "why"
- Collaborate closely with analytics partners to move fast without breaking production
Average performers:- Can implement features but rely on others for reliability, observability, or release rigor
Why This Role Is Compelling- Work on cutting-edge detection and telemetry systems
- High visibility, high trust, and real ownership
- Modern cloud tooling with minimal bureaucracy
- A team culture that values engineering craftsmanship
- Opportunity to prove impact quickly-and extend beyond the initial engagement
