About the Role - Staff Engineer – Backend Engineering

Aviatrix Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) delivers the intelligence, network, and security services of Aviatrix's multi-cloud platform as a managed offering, built on modern microservices architecture. We're seeking a Staff Engineer for our SaaS Platform team to bring technical depth to backend engineering, contribute to distributed microservices and cloud-native infrastructure design on AWS, mentor junior engineers, and raise the bar on reliability, performance, and security.

Responsibilities

Architecture & Technical Contribution

  • Own design and delivery of backend platform features, breaking down complex projects into scoped tasks
  • Contribute to architecture discussions on scalability, fault tolerance, multi-tenancy, and operational simplicity
  • Collaborate on core platform services using AWS-managed services (Aurora, MSK/Kafka, ClickHouse)
  • Evaluate trade-offs on technology choices, system boundaries, and API contracts; write clear design docs

Backend Engineering Excellence

  • Design high-performance microservices using gRPC, REST, and event-driven patterns (Golang preferred)
  • Reinforce best practices for observability, resiliency, and SLO-driven operations
  • Contribute to supportability (runbooks, diagnostics) and apply security best practices across service boundaries
  • Participate in design reviews, capacity planning, and incident retrospectives

Mentorship & Collaboration

  • Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and 1-on-1s
  • Collaborate with Product Management; participate in on-call and incident RCA; support recruiting as needed

Requirements

Experience & Education

  • 7+ years software engineering experience, with some mentoring experience
  • BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Experience on a SaaS/PaaS product with high-availability, multi-tenancy exposure; comfortable with ambiguity

Backend & Microservices

  • Strong Golang preferred; production-grade gRPC microservices experience a plus
  • Solid grasp of distributed systems (consistency, fault tolerance, service discovery, circuit breaking, back-pressure)
  • Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, OS, and systems programming
  • API design/versioning experience (REST and gRPC), backward compatibility

SaaS Platform & AWS Managed Services

  • Experience with multi-tenancy and high-availability design patterns
  • Familiarity with AWS-managed services (Aurora, MSK/Kafka, ClickHouse); event-driven systems (SQS, SNS) a plus

Production Deployment & Supportability

  • Experience deploying/operating production services, release management, and operational readiness
  • Understanding of observability, alerting, diagnostics, and runbooks; incident response and RCA experience

AWS & Cloud Infrastructure

  • Experience with AWS as primary cloud platform; familiarity with Kubernetes (EKS)
  • Familiarity with IaC (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation) and CI/CD for cloud-native services

Nice to Have

  • Monitoring/logging/tracing or platform-management tooling experience
  • Additional AWS services (RDS, DynamoDB, Redshift, OpenSearch, Lambda); multi-cloud (Azure, GCP) exposure
  • Network security, cloud networking, or SASE/SD-WAN background; open-source contributions or technical writing

Interpersonal & Communication

  • Strong written/verbal communication; effective in collaborative, distributed teams; skilled at mentoring and building consensus
