Senior Software Engineer, Data Center Infrastructure Tooling

About the role

The role involves designing, building, and owning the data layer, APIs, and services that power tools for network engineers, fleet engineers, and operations teams to plan, visualize, and manage massive amounts of infrastructure across hundreds of sites. The goal is to build bespoke software to model infrastructure at both a physical and logical level to drive planning, coordination, automation, of some of the most advanced AI datacenters.

Responsibilities

• Data models and APIs that capture the complexity of datacenter infrastructure: devices, connectivity, cabling, power, cooling, and spatial relationships across racks, rows, and floors.
• High-throughput API services in Go (gRPC, GraphQL, and/or REST) that support the data density and interaction speed the frontend demands, including complex filtering, aggregation, and bulk operations across large datasets.
• Backend architecture from the ground up: service structure, data access patterns, caching strategy, and API contracts designed to scale with the team and product scope.
• Integrations with internal/external systems and data sources that feed infrastructure planning, ensuring the platform reflects real-world state and planned builds accurately.
• Deployment and operational infrastructure for the services you build, including Kubernetes manifests, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and reliability practices.

Requirements

• Strong proficiency in Go.
• Deep experience with relational databases, specifically PostgreSQL and CockroachDB.
• Experience designing and building APIs (gRPC, GraphQL, and REST).
• Proven experience of performance optimization on the backend.
• Experience owning deployment and operations for the services you build.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience, with meaningful senior-level ownership of production systems and the data layers behind them.

Skills

• Strong communication skills.
• Ability to work directly with infrastructure engineers.
