About the role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Online Data Stores team, a critical part of the Infrastructure team at Persona.
You will be instrumental in ensuring the scalability, reliability, and performance of these core systems.
You'll be working on challenging problems at scale, using cutting-edge technologies, and collaborating with a talented team of engineers.

Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, scalable, and secure data stores used across our application stack.
Collaborate with infrastructure, platform, and application teams to optimize data storage solutions for performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
Implement and advocate for best practices for data modeling, access patterns, monitoring, and incident response.
Partner with other engineering teams to deliver on complex initiatives together.
Develop simple, elegant solutions to complex problems.
Work closely with product teams to plan and build scalable, resilient and cost-effective infrastructure systems that meet launch goals, reach new markets and scale with product demand.
Directly shape system design, development methodologies, and implementation technologies

For example, Coursera uses Persona to ensure the right person is earning each degree.
5+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on large-scale, distributed data systems.
Experience with cloud-native architectures and technologies, particularly Google Cloud (or equivalent cloud providers).
Experience with infrastructure-as-code and container orchestration systems like Kubernetes.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced environment.

Strong technical expertise in designing and operating scalable data storage solutions, ideally with the technologies we use (MySQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Redis).

Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a focus on cross-functional teamwork.

While we believe competitive compensation and benefits are a critical aspect of you deciding to join us, we do hope you consider why our core values and culture are right for you.
