Responsibilities:
System Management Tooling: Build and maintain Golang applications for Linux user-space management, focusing on Debian-based distributions.
Package Management & Monitoring: Develop programmatic solutions to monitor installed packages, manage updates via apt/dpkg APIs, and ensure version consistency.
Service Observability: Design systems to track service status, health metrics, and automated log retrieval/parsing for rapid troubleshooting.
Debian Packaging: Oversee the packaging of internal software into production-ready .deb files, including post-install scripting and dependency management.
Architecture Design: Lead the transition toward more modular, service-oriented system tools while maintaining peak performance in a Linux environment.
Education and Experience Required:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent.
-
7–10+ years of experience in software development.
U.S. citizenship required: This role will be responsible for services in a FedRAMP High compliant environment that requires proof of U.S. citizenship.

Strong experience with Go (Golang). Expert proficiency in Golang (Go) for systems-level programming.
Python Programming: Proficiency in Python for scripting, automation, or maintaining existing system utilities.
Microservices Development: Experience designing distributed systems or microservice architectures to handle complex system tasks.
General understanding of modern deployment environments (e.g., containers, Kubernetes, or similar) is a plus, but not required.
Experience with networking concepts or device management systems.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; mastery in English and local language.
Ability to effectively communicate product architectures, design proposals and negotiate options at business unit and executive levels.
