[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @PerformLine

Role Description

Our Tech Team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is excited to build what is next. You'll help us bring AI powered features to life on AWS, expanding what our platform can do for customers and improving how our systems run every day!

On our team, you'll take on projects that matter, with visibility across the company and the freedom to shape solutions. You will influence how we build, strengthen our engineering practices, and contribute to a positive team culture. At PerformLine you can expect to own your work, solve meaningful problems, and push innovation forward at a growing company.

What You’ll Do

• Be the Expert
  • Build cloud native services on AWS using the right mix of serverless, containerized, and event driven patterns.
  • Work across Go or Python depending on what best serves the platform and the problem.
  • Design and implement small LLM powered features using AWS Bedrock in a safe, controlled, user initiated manner.
  • Strengthen reliability and observability across distributed systems through logging, metrics, tracing, and actionable dashboards.
  • Apply modern AWS service patterns to improve scale, reduce cost, and accelerate development.
  • Contribute to internal best practices for integrating deterministic logic with AI assisted workflows.
• Be a Force Multiplier
  • Help the team adopt efficient cloud first patterns and improve the way we build and operate services on AWS.
  • Make the whole team better by advocating for best practices, gently reminding people of why the processes we have exist, and helping less experienced engineers find ways to ‘level up’.
  • Embrace having a large impact on team morale, culture, feedback, and even recruiting.
  • Represent your engineering organization outside of the company.

Qualifications

• Comfortable working in Go or Python without being anchored to a specific language.
• Quick to learn new AWS services, tools, or frameworks and apply them productively.
• Values clarity in distributed system design and thrives in environments where requirements evolve.
• Understands how to integrate AI capabilities into existing systems without compromising reliability.
• Balances experimentation with discipline and recognizes when simple solutions are better than clever ones.
• Approaches cloud architecture with a practical view of cost, performance, and security.
• Sees ambiguity as an opportunity to drive alignment and move work forward.
• Empathetic and collaborates with peers & stakeholders to deliver.
• Never operates with an adversarial attitude.
• Seeks out coaching and takes critical feedback well.

Requirements

• Strong hands on experience building backend systems on AWS using services such as Lambda, ECS, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, S3, API Gateway, and IAM.
• Experience writing production software in Go or Python and the ability to move between both.
• Familiarity with AWS Bedrock or other LLM platforms and how to integrate model calls into backend services.
• Experience instrumenting applications with observability tooling for metrics, logs, and traces.
• Practical knowledge of event driven architecture, asynchronous processing, and distributed debugging.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD workflows, deployment patterns, and version control using GitHub.
• Experience designing and evolving REST based APIs in production environments.

Benefits

• Estimated base salary range $120,000 - 170,000 plus annual discretionary bonus.
• Exact compensation for this role depends on a variety of factors, including experience, skills, internal equity, market data, and location.
