The role

Are you passionate about building tools and automation that help organizations move faster and more securely in the cloud? We're looking for a Software Development Engineer to join a team that builds purpose-built solutions enabling enterprise customers to deploy secure, compliant cloud foundations at scale.

In this role, you'll design and develop open-source and internal software that solves hard infrastructure and compliance challenges for some of the most security-conscious organizations in the world. Your work will directly reduce the time it takes for customers to go from zero to a fully operational, accredited cloud environment. You'll contribute to solutions spanning infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD platforms, data architecture tooling, and secure access management, all used by thousands of engineers globally.

You'll work in a team that values pragmatism over perfection, lean development practices, and building mechanisms that scale through automation rather than headcount. If you enjoy shipping software that has measurable impact on how customers adopt and operate in the cloud, this is the role for you.

What you'll do

Design and maintain cloud infrastructure automation tools that help enterprise customers deploy secure, compliant environments on AWS

Build and contribute to open-source solutions that accelerate cloud foundation setup, including account structures, networking, and security controls

Develop and improve CI/CD platform tooling and developer experience for a software development platform used by tens of thousands of engineers globally

Build secure access management solutions that provide auditable, guardrail-enforced access to customer cloud environments

Write infrastructure-as-code, automated tests, and deployment automation to ensure reliability across all solutions

Collaborate across regions to design globally scalable, locally adaptable solutions

Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical design sessions
