Senior Software Engineer (Platform & Infrastructure)

Join HOLOPLOT, a pioneering company in the audio technology industry. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for building and maintaining the platform that powers our sound systems. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, design and implement services, and ensure the operational success of our systems in production. Enjoy a flat hierarchy, a motivating work environment, and numerous benefits including a company pension scheme, flexible working hours, and professional development opportunities.

Comfort across several languages, and the ability to pick up a new one when the problem calls for it. Our platform work is mostly Go and Python, with Rust and C++ elsewhere in the stack

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement services to provision, configure, and manage server fleets across AWS and local clusters.
• Establish end-to-end provisioning workflows for embedded Linux hardware, spanning from initial manufacturing to customer deployment.
• Monitor large environments, investigate problems across the software/hardware boundary, and turn each incident into a fix in the code.
• Experience instrumenting software for telemetry and using it to answer real questions about running systems

Requirements

• Several years of professional software engineering experience, most of it spent designing and shipping production systems
• A good sense for software architecture and maintainability, and the habit of writing code that colleagues can pick up and change
• Working knowledge of the Kubernetes control plane and the operator/controller pattern, including how clusters behave when they are unhealthy
• Hands-on experience with AWS, and a firm belief in infrastructure as code. Terraform and Ansible are what we use today

Experience in using AI for engineering

• Experience building distributed systems, and a clear understanding of how they fail: partitions, partial rollouts, clock skew, retries, and reconciliation
• A can-do mentality, an eye for detail, and the courage to take on problems outside your comfort zone
• Good judgment about what to automate and what to leave alone
• Willingness to take part in compensated on-call and weekend work when installations need it
• Fluency in software engineering as a craft: concurrency, error handling, testing, and designing APIs that other teams build on
• A strong command of Linux, scripting, and automation
• Strong communication skills in English. You can explain a design or a failure clearly to engineers, product stakeholders, and non-specialists
• Networking depth: multicast at scale, WireGuard, BGP, IPv6
• Experience with embedded Linux, device fleet management, or IoT security
• Experience with air-gapped or intermittently connected installations

Preferred

• Experience in the audio, broadcast, or live events industry
• Contributions to open-source infrastructure projects
• Experience running Kubernetes in production, not only deploying to it
• Experience with NATS, Prometheus/Thanos, or PostgreSQL in production
