Responsibilities

  • As a Senior Software Engineer on Platform Core, you will own and evolve high-scale backend and data-layer services that every Pindrop product depends on.
  • Platform Core owns foundational services including IAM, Interaction Service, Data Lake, reporting, and admin services, and the team is responsible for keeping these systems fast, reliable, and SLA-compliant even on record call-volume days.
  • Design, build, test, and operate distributed backend services and APIs that support high-volume customer interactions.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of platform work, from framing ambiguous problems and shaping technical plans through implementation, rollout, and production support.
  • Partner closely with Product, SRE, and peer engineering teams to deliver platform improvements without destabilizing live traffic.
  • Raise engineering standards through code reviews, design reviews, pairing, documentation, and mentorship for other engineers on the team.
  • As AI-driven fraud and deepfakes erode trust in digital communication, Pindrop delivers continuous identity verification and deepfake detection across voice, video, and digital interactions in real time.

Requirements

  • You are calm under pressure and bring sound judgment during incidents, tradeoff discussions, and periods of ambiguity.
  • You are motivated by foundational platform work, shared infrastructure, and reliability-oriented backend engineering.
  • You have a mentorship mindset and raise team standards by example.
  • 5-7+ years of experience building backend services and APIs in production, or equivalent practical depth.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Python and/or Go.
  • Experience with distributed systems, concurrency, and cloud-native development on AWS and/or GCP using Kubernetes and Docker.
  • Proven production ownership, including deploying, monitoring, troubleshooting, and participating in on-call for high-scale services.
  • Strong experience with data and messaging technologies such as PostgreSQL or Aurora, Redis, and RabbitMQ, along with the ability to reason about reliability, performance, and scale tradeoffs.
  • Experience with Redshift, Elasticsearch, DynamoDB, S3, Kinesis, or IAM.
  • Experience with infrastructure as code, especially Terraform.
