[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer (SRE), Cloud Compute @VTEX

Role Description

We are looking for a Infrastructure/Software Engineer (Mid-Level/Senior) for the Compute team at VTEX. This team owns the platform's shared compute infrastructure: EKS clusters (including Dark Kitchen), the migration of the legacy Beanstalk environment, the internal networking layer (Private Link, VPC), traffic balancing (Janus, NLB/ALB), GitOps (ArgoCD), and the Core API.

You will work on one of the company's most critical engineering challenges today: unlocking the definitive migration from legacy Beanstalk to EKS, while maintaining reliability and zero downtime for dozens of teams dependent on this infrastructure.

Qualifications

• Experienced backend/platform engineer with a solid track record operating and evolving Kubernetes/EKS infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience with production AWS (VPC, IAM, load balancers, Auto Scaling/Beanstalk).
• Strong knowledge of distributed systems and networking (TCP/IP, DNS, proxies, inter-service communication).
• Comfortable with legacy systems in transition: experience migrating workloads between compute platforms is a major plus.
• Familiarity with GitOps and IaC (ArgoCD, Pulumi, or equivalent).
• Effective communicator capable of negotiating technical priorities and collaborating with product teams and other platform squads.

Requirements

• Migrate and modernize critical infrastructure: Work directly on migrating workloads from legacy Beanstalk to EKS, managing networking, IAM, and functional parity.
• Build for scale: Design and maintain compute and networking components (Private Link, load balancers, Core API) used simultaneously by multiple teams.
• Operate critical production systems: Ensure high availability and resilience of the shared compute infrastructure, including participating in on-call rotations.
• Evolve GitOps and IaC: Maintain and evolve ArgoCD/Argo Rollouts and the team’s infrastructure as code.
• Cross-team collaboration: Act as a technical focal point for internal teams (Checkout, MasterData, Dark Kitchen, Traffic, among others) relying on Compute infrastructure.

Benefits

• Annual profit-sharing program and equity eligibility;
• Health, dental, and life insurance with national coverage provided by VTEX;
• Annual budget for professional development in Tech;
• Language development incentive program (English, Spanish, Portuguese);
• Flexible meal allowance;
• Extended parental leaves;
• Child-care assistance;
• Flexible work schedule and remote-first culture;
• Financial assistance to build your work-from-home setup;
• Wellness program;
• Free shipping on 1000+ VTEX stores.
