The Role

You'll join our Platform team and own the full path from backend service to production: the Java services that power Soda Cloud and the AWS/Kubernetes infrastructure they run on. To be clear about the shape of this role: you're a backend engineer first. Most of your time goes into designing and building services. Infrastructure is the part of your craft that lets you own them all the way to production, not a separate job. This is not a DevOps or SRE position. You ship features, and you make sure the platform underneath them scales to billions of datasets.

We're product engineers, not ticket-takers: you'll talk to users, shape solutions with your PM, and ship end-to-end. No hand-offs, no waiting. We also build agentically: AI coding agents are part of how the whole team ships, and the platform you own is a big part of what makes them effective.

What You'll Do

• Design and build robust backend services and APIs in Java for a multi-tenant SaaS platform. This is where most of your time goes.
• Ship product features end-to-end and work directly with product and customers on what to build. Your opinion matters here.
• Improve the reliability, performance, and scalability of the services you own, and carry them all the way to production on our AWS/Kubernetes platform.
• Keep the team shipping fast: CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, observability. This is the platform work that multiplies everyone else.
• Improve the systems that make agentic development work: fast CI feedback, reliable dev environments, and the guardrails that let agents ship safely.
• Drive architectural decisions, from service design to how the platform underneath should evolve.
