O que você fará

At Avalara, we are building the global cloud compliance platform! Our engineering teams are diverse in their engineering practices, culture, and background. We are building an Infrastructure Platform that aims to reduce friction, increase agility, predictability, and provide the necessary flexibility and control to engineering teams while maintaining a very high operational bar.

As a Software Engineer, you will be part of a team responsible for the design, architecture, and operations of our next generation cross platform and multi cloud platform as a service. Our focus is to tap into the power of software engineering for solving technical and organizational problems that concern infrastructure.

Part of the work lies in coding our platform, which requires strong knowledge of C#, but we have several uses for languages like Golang, Python and Node.js so this is an excellent opportunity for new challenges.

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Information Systems or Computer engineering
• 5 years' experience in software engineering
• Proven, real-world experience in architecting and maintaining big data, enterprise-level applications
• Experience in C#
• In-depth experience with relational databases SQL-ANSI based.
• AWS: S3, SQS, EKS
• Apache Kafka
• Understanding of security protocols and best practices
• Experience in supporting SaaS products
• CI/CD experience using automation tools such as Gitlab pipelines, etc.
• Fluent English
• As it is a position with international interaction teams, only resumes sent in English will be considered.

This might be a good fit for you, if…

• writing clean, readable, testable, and performant code gives you joy,
• translating unknowns into knowns excites you,
• reading a distributed systems paper is your thing,
• once, twice, automate resonates with you releases equal progress to you

Some broad areas of work are…

• Developing platform tooling and APIs
• Working with gRPC and HTTP based services
• Mature the organization’s tooling to standardize deploy practices and move towards a globally distributed infrastructure.
• Tools and education that will help teams migrate from their existing container ecosystem to Kubernetes.
• Conduct workshops to evangelize and educate about the infrastructure platform.
• Proactively work with other SRE teams within the org to identify potential integration areas that are a source of friction and eliminate them.
