Platform Software Engineer [US]

About Omnistrate

Omnistrate is pioneering a fundamentally new category of defining next-gen abstractions for building and operating in the Cloud.

As we all know, an increasing number of organizations are adopting the cloud with more and more service offerings moving to Cloud at scale. At Omnistrate, we believe that the complexity of the underlying cloud platform is growing with the increasing number of cloud offerings, multi/poly cloud strategies, regulatory requirements, globalization, and so on.

At Omnistrate, we’re redefining the abstractions of Cloud Computing. Our cloud-native offering is designed to abstract away all the complexities making it simple, fast, and cost-effective to build and operate services in the cloud. With Omnistrate, organizations can create build and manage services and run everywhere in minutes.

We are building a team of self-motivated people who crave a challenge and feel energized to roll up their sleeves and help realize Omnistrate’s enormous potential. Chart your own path and take healthy risks as we solve big problems together. We value having diverse teams and want you to grow as we grow-whether you’re just starting out in your career or managing a large team, you’ll be amazed at the magnitude of your impact.

About Role

We’re looking for a tech lead to help build the Omnistrate platform. As a tech lead at Omnistrate, you will be a pragmatic visionary taking on Omnistrate's most challenging problems, someone who can translate both immediate and strategic needs into workable technology solutions. You will be a leader in the organization, a highly visible example of engineering and architectural excellence, who will establish technical standards to move the organization forward, who will be a key driver of Omnistrate engineering values across the team, and who will identify and help mentor future technical leaders in the organization. You will be a leader outside of the organization in technical communities bringing a strong following and technical network and be an external face of Omnistrate Engineering in the industry.

For this specific role, we are looking for an experienced engineer, who will define the software architecture, and influence the solution and business strategy to build a next-generation Cloud Platform for the industry.

The ideal candidate

Writing structured, maintainable, optimal, and reusable code is your mojo. While writing such code, you never lose sight of the big picture in terms of design, architecture, scale, and performance. You are the go-to person when a team member is stuck with an issue or a bug that doesn't seem to have any known reason/pattern. With your excellent logical reasoning and problem-solving skills, you love to debug/troubleshoot those problems together. You are a lifelong learner and look forward to learning something new every day. You don't like the status quo and keep challenging and questioning it. You have a strong work ethic and you set a high bar for yourself as well as for your team and you lead by example. You are not afraid of taking risks and trying out new approaches while designing and building systems. You make independent decisions with confidence and at the same time, you are open to constructive criticism.
