About the role
- We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Infrastructure Team, focused on building secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure for Nimble's software services, robotics products, embedded systems, and business operations.
- You will work across cloud, production, corporate, and robot-facing systems to identify and remediate security, reliability, and operational risks in designs, implementations, integrations, and processes. This role is deeply hands-on: you will build secure-by-default platforms, improve observability, automate detection and remediation, strengthen incident response, and help engineering teams operate resilient systems in production.
- You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of software development projects, including design, implementation, automated testing, field testing, deployment, monitoring, and production support.
Responsibilities
- Own and drive the infrastructure roadmap for secure, reliable, and scalable software services, robotics products, embedded systems, cloud infrastructure, and corporate systems.
- Lead security architecture reviews, reliability reviews, production readiness reviews, code reviews, and technical planning sessions.
- Design and implement security controls, reliability patterns, data compliance mechanisms, and guardrails for both our On-Premise and Cloud infrastructure.
- Develop platforms, tools, and automation that improve cloud security posture, system reliability, developer velocity, and operational efficiency.
- Mentor engineers and cross-teams on secure design, reliable system architecture, operational ownership, and production engineering practices.
- Develop observability via metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, for detection, monitoring, alerting, and remediation systems for vulnerabilities, incidents, regressions, service degradation, misconfigurations, and infrastructure drift.
- Drive software engineering best practices across the team by producing high-quality, well-tested, maintainable code and raising the bar in reviews.
- Nimble is an AI robotics company building the autonomous supply chain to power fast, efficient and economical commerce.
Requirements
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- At least 3 years of professional software engineering, infrastructure engineering, security engineering, or SRE experience.
- Strong proficiency in at least one of the following programming languages: Rust, Go, C++, Python, or TypeScript.
- Experience designing, deploying, securing, and operating cloud infrastructure and distributed backend systems.
- Experience with Kubernetes, containerized workloads, cloud infrastructure, IAM, secrets management, vulnerability management, and infrastructure hardening.
- Experience operating production systems, including monitoring, alerting, incident response, debugging, performance analysis, and postmortems.
- Experience conducting security architecture reviews, reliability reviews, or production readiness reviews for custom business applications or infrastructure systems.
- Experience with distributed authorization, RBAC/ACL systems, encryption-based access, secrets management, or policy engines.
- Experience with one or more Infrastructure as Code tools or frameworks such as Terraform, AWS CDK, Pulumi, CloudFormation, or similar.
- Ability to work autonomously, take ownership of ambiguous projects, and collaborate across teams.
- Strong self-learning and continuous improvement mindset.
- Solid understanding of modern attack vectors, defensive mitigation strategies, secure software development practices, and cloud security fundamentals.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially when explaining technical tradeoffs, operational risks, and security concerns to cross-functional teams.
Nice to have
- Experience with cloud security tooling, CSPM/CWPP platforms, vulnerability scanners, policy-as-code, admission controllers, image signing, or supply-chain security tooling.
- Experience with observability stacks such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Datadog, or similar.
- Experience with On-Premise Infrastructure.
- Experience in the development, implementation, or audit of ISO 27001, SOC 2, or similar compliance programs.
- Your exact offer may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
- We embrace challenges and strive to make the impossible possible each day.
