About the role
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to a new team we are building that focuses entirely on internal developer experience. You'll shape how Aiven engineers write, test and ship code, from development environments and internal tooling to CI/CD pipelines. Every improvement you make lands directly in the daily work of every engineering team at Aiven. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Professional Experience: Several years in professional software engineering teams, shipping and maintaining software in production
- Ownership Instinct: You're the person who fixed the flaky build, wrote the onboarding script or cleaned up the pipeline because it was slowing your team down, even when nobody asked
- Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with Linux, containers and Infrastructure as Code
- Communication: Fluency in English, written and verbal
- Observability (nice-to-have) : Experience with observability tooling
- UX Sensibility (nice-to-have) : Familiarity with user experience or product design, or a habit of treating your fellow engineers as users
