Senior Software Engineer I, Infrastructure
As a Senior Software Engineer on Dedrone’s Infrastructure Services team, you will design, build, and evolve the core systems that power both our developer platform and key backend services. You will combine strong software engineering fundamentals with deep infrastructure expertise to ensure our platform is scalable, reliable, and secure. This role goes beyond operating infrastructure—you will build production-grade backend services, design cloud-native systems, and own the CI/CD and runtime environments that support our product ecosystem. You will influence engineering standards, developer experience, and architectural direction across Dedrone’s product teams.
In this role, you will design, build, and maintain production-grade backend services (primarily Java, Go, or Python) that power deployment orchestration, internal APIs, and developer platform capabilities. You will contribute to architectural decisions including service boundaries, API design, persistence layers, scalability strategies, and fault tolerance. Additionally, you will own, design, and optimize CI/CD systems supporting Dedrone’s distributed product ecosystem—reducing build times, deployment friction, and manual overhead. Implementing safe, automated deployment strategies (e.g., blue/green, canary, rollback automation) to increase deployment confidence is also a key responsibility.
The ideal candidate will have relevant experience in backend engineering, platform engineering, developer infrastructure, or cloud-native software roles, with strong hands-on technical depth. Proven experience building and operating production backend services with ownership of APIs, service reliability, and scalability is essential. Strong programming skills in at least one backend language (e.g., Java, Go, Python), with solid software engineering fundamentals, are required. Experience designing and supporting distributed systems, with understanding of concurrency, networking fundamentals, failure modes, and scaling patterns, is also necessary. Deep familiarity with modern cloud environments (AWS preferred) is expected.
