[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer, Platform @OpusClip

Role Description

We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer (Platform & Infrastructure) with a passion for building robust infrastructure tools and advancing service governance frameworks. This role demands someone who thrives on solving complex systems challenges while maintaining an obsession for clean code, elegant design, and scalable automation. You will design tools that empower engineering teams, enforce operational rigor, and elevate the maturity of our platform’s service ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, developer experience, and infrastructure automation. You will build internal platforms and tooling that serve as the backbone for all engineering teams, enabling scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Tool Development & Automation:
  • Architect, build, and maintain internal infrastructure tools (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, observability platforms, self-service portals) with a focus on usability and developer productivity.
  • Develop full-stack solutions (frontend to backend) to automate service deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management.
  • Write clean, maintainable code (nodejs/python) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) with an emphasis on simplicity and reusability.
  • Build tooling and automation to monitor and optimize infrastructure cost (FinOps), especially for large-scale storage and compute workloads.
• Service Governance & Observability:
  • Design and implement frameworks for service health monitoring, logging, tracing, and incident management.
  • Build tools to enforce compliance with security, cost optimization (FinOps), and reliability best practices.
  • Collaborate with SRE and DevOps teams to refine service SLAs and error budgets.
• Standardization & Scalability:
  • Define and evangelize coding standards, API design patterns, and tooling conventions across engineering teams.
  • Create modular, extensible toolkits that abstract complexity and accelerate development workflows.
• AI-Driven Innovation:
  • Explore AI/ML applications to enhance tooling capabilities (e.g., anomaly detection, automated root cause analysis, LLM-powered ChatOps).
  • Prototype intelligent automation for resource optimization, predictive scaling, or developer assistive tools.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of full-stack development experience with a focus on infrastructure or platform tooling.
• Proficiency in modern languages (e.g., Python, Java, Node.js, Go) and frameworks (Nest, Spring).
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices, and cloud-native technologies (Kubernetes, Docker, AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Demonstrated ability to design tools that balance flexibility with governance (e.g., policy-as-code, guardrails).
• Aesthetic sensibility for clean abstractions, intuitive APIs, and frictionless user experiences.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands-on experience using LLM-based tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to improve development efficiency and code quality.
• Experience building or integrating AI-powered systems (e.g., LLM-based automation, ChatOps, anomaly detection) is strongly preferred.
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (GCP preferred), including infrastructure design and cost optimization.
• Good sense of productivity.

Nice to Have

• Experience integrating AI/ML models into operational tools (e.g., NLP for log analysis, reinforcement learning for resource tuning).
• Contributions to open-source infrastructure projects or developer toolchains.
• Familiarity with service mesh (Istio, Linkerd) or observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
