About your new role:
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our growing platform team. In this role, you’ll be a core contributor to the systems that power CommandLink’s SaaS platform — from back-end services and API integrations to the architectural decisions that keep us scalable as we grow. You’ll work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers in a collaborative, high-trust environment where your judgment matters and your impact is visible.
This is not a ticket-shuffling role. We want engineers who think deeply about the problems they’re solving, advocate for quality, and take pride in what they ship.
What You'll Do:
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable back-end systems and APIs that power our SaaS platform across a global customer base.
- Lead technical design and architecture discussions for new features and platform improvements, balancing speed with long-term maintainability.
- Integrate with third-party APIs, telemetry systems, and network infrastructure to extend platform capabilities.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and engineering teams to define requirements, break down complexity, and ship high-quality features.
- Write clean, testable, well-documented code and hold your team to the same standard through thoughtful code reviews.
- Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, reliability issues, and scalability gaps before they become customer problems.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, sharing best practices in software design, testing, and system thinking.
- Participate in on-call rotations and contribute to a culture of operational excellence.
- Takes on additional responsibilities and projects as needed to support the success of the team and organization.
What you'll need for success:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent in a SaaS product environment.
- Proven experience at a high-growth or fast-paced technology company where priorities shift quickly and engineers own outcomes, not just tasks.
- Strong proficiency in PHP (Laravel, Symfony, or similar framework), with working knowledge of Golang and Python.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes for container orchestration and OpenSearch for search/analytics workloads.
- Solid understanding of relational and non-relational databases, query optimization, and data modeling.
- Experience designing and building RESTful or event-driven APIs that integrate with external platforms and services.
- Comfort working across major cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including managed services, IAM, networking fundamentals, and cost-aware architecture.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English — you’ll be collaborating with distributed teams across time zones.
- An ownership mindset: you don’t just close tickets. You understand the product, ask the right questions, push back on unnecessary complexity, and leave the codebase better than you found it.
Bonus Points:
- Exposure to network engineering technologies such as SD-WAN, VoIP, BGP, or MPLS — or genuine curiosity about how networks work.
- Experience with workflow orchestration engines like Temporal or Camunda.
- Familiarity with event streaming platforms (Kafka) or stream processing (Flink, Spark).
- Prior experience working in a fully remote, globally distributed engineering team.
