Senior Software Engineer

🚨 Hiring: Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure

📍 Los Angeles, CA (Onsite)

We're partnering with an early-stage, venture-backed company in the aviation technology space that's building the real-time software infrastructure powering the future of airfield operations.

We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to own and architect the platform that everything else runs on. This is not a traditional DevOps or SRE role. We're looking for a true software engineer who specializes in infrastructure—someone who enjoys building distributed systems, writing production code, and making foundational architectural decisions.

What you'll be doing:

• Design and build scalable, resilient cloud infrastructure
• Develop distributed systems powering real-time, high-throughput applications
• Build internal platform tooling and automation
• Own CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, observability, and reliability
• Partner closely with product and application engineers on architecture and platform decisions
• Help define the long-term infrastructure strategy as the company scales globally

What we're looking for:

• 4+ years building production infrastructure or backend systems
• Strong experience with AWS or GCP
• Deep understanding of distributed systems and cloud architecture
• Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or similar)
• Strong coding skills are required—ideally Go, but Java or another backend language is absolutely relevant. This is a hands-on software engineering role, not an operations-only position.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines and highly available production systems
• Someone who enjoys wearing both infrastructure and software engineering hats

Bonus if you have experience with:

• Kafka, MQTT, WebSockets, or other event-driven systems
• IoT, robotics, logistics, mobility, or other real-world systems
• Early-stage startups
• Edge computing or fleet/device communication
