Staff Software Engineer, Service Configuration Deployments

Role overview Set the long-term technical direction for infrastructure that manages service configuration and coordination across regions and cloud environments. You’ll guide the evolution of shared platforms, APIs, and tools so engineering teams can safely roll out configuration changes, manage production state, and coordinate services at scale.

Responsibilities - Unify configuration paths for feature flags, machine-learning settings, and experiments, with consistent validation, staged rollouts, and governance. - Lead migration of critical workloads from legacy systems to modern platforms and create repeatable onboarding patterns. - Design high-performance, read-oriented control-plane APIs and diagnostic tools for engineers and automated assistants. - Integrate coordination systems with deployment and multi-region infrastructure, improving service discovery and reducing custom operational work. - Align partner requirements into an executable roadmap, using AI-assisted analysis with careful verification and metric-based review. - Guide parallel technical efforts and help senior engineers converge on a coherent system direction.

Requirements - At least ten years of experience with high-scale infrastructure and distributed production systems. - Proven ability to set cross-team technical strategy for control-plane systems such as configuration, experimentation, or feature-management platforms. - Advanced understanding of distributed coordination, consistency, failure domains, and resilient abstractions. - Experience aligning configuration systems with deployment pipelines or orchestration frameworks, including infrastructure-as-code or CI/CD. - Strong technical leadership across parallel workstreams and a record of developing senior engineering talent. - Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Benefits and work setup The position can be based anywhere in the United States and requires in-person collaboration once or twice every six months. Relocation assistance is not available. The role is eligible for equity; the stated U.S. base salary range is $177,185–$364,795.
