[Hiring] Staff Software Developer @Auvik Networks

Role Description

As a Staff Software Developer at Auvik, you’ll lead through technical excellence. You’ll dive deep into our systems, tackle the hardest technical problems, and deliver production-quality solutions that improve our products and platform at scale. While your influence may extend across teams through shared tooling, mentorship, or technical guidance, your day-to-day focus will be deeply embedded in a development team — designing, coding, debugging, and shipping high-quality software alongside your teammates.

This role is ideal for a developer who wants to stay close to the codebase while still having wide-reaching technical influence and driving high-impact outcomes.

What will I be doing?

• Own complex technical challenges and architect scalable, performant solutions.
• Writing clean, maintainable code — and lots of it — in languages like Go, Scala, or TypeScript (React/GraphQL).
• Diagnosing and resolving complex production issues — digging across systems to find root causes and deliver lasting fixes that restore customer trust.
• Working closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to build features that provide real value to our customers.
• Apply AI-enabled techniques to solve complex engineering problems, using intelligent tooling, automation, and data-informed debugging to build scalable systems, improve reliability, and accelerate delivery across the stack.
• Leading by example in code reviews, mentoring other developers, and championing best practices in development and testing.
• Proactively identifying and implementing technical improvements across our codebase, systems, and developer workflows.
• Collaborating across teams to ensure consistency in implementation, performance, and user experience.
• Helping unblock others by sharing context, reviewing designs, and contributing reusable tools, libraries, or frameworks.

Qualifications

• A hands-on engineer who loves solving tough problems through code and building systems that scale.
• A deep technical contributor with a strong grasp of system design, clean coding practices, and debugging complex issues.
• A team player who thrives in collaborative environments and can communicate ideas effectively across functions.
• A mentor who lifts others by pairing, sharing insights, and providing thoughtful feedback in reviews.
• A proactive self-starter who can independently lead projects from start to finish, always looking for ways to improve.
• Familiarity with tools and practices for logging, tracing, metrics collection, and alerting (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Datadog, etc.).
• You’ve tackled performance bottlenecks or scalability challenges in high-traffic systems.
• You’ve built tooling or frameworks that boosted developer velocity.
• You’ve contributed to open-source projects or enjoy staying sharp with side projects.
• A deeply technical, hands-on engineer who uses AI pragmatically to solve hard problems, writes high-quality production code, debugs across distributed systems, and elevates team output through strong system design and engineering rigor.
