What’s the job about?

​​Auvik is looking for a Software Developer to join our Data Layer team, a key part of our Platform Engineering group. The Data Layer team plays a foundational role in shaping the core data infrastructure used by every engineering team at Auvik.

As a Senior Developer on the Data Layer team, you'll be deeply involved in designing, building, and evolving our data platform. This includes managing and optimizing our data storage and streaming systems—think technologies like Kafka, Clickhouse, and AWS-native solutions—as well as evaluating infrastructure choices to drive performance and scalability.

This is a hands-on, technical role where you'll dig deep into code and systems, but also step back to think critically about data architecture, platform design, and long-term maintainability. You’ll work closely with cross-functional product and engineering teams to ensure that our data platform can meet the needs of Auvik’s growing product ecosystem.

What will you be doing?

The industry is shifting towards cloud based systems and distributed work environments. We need senior software developers like yourself to level up on our product offerings. In this role, you will:

• Own the design, implementation, and evolution of Auvik’s data storage and streaming infrastructure.
• Evaluate and optimize the performance, reliability, and scalability of our systems (e.g., Kafka, Clickhouse, S3, etc.).
• Collaborate with engineering teams across Auvik to understand their data needs and build reusable platform components to support them.
• Contribute to architectural decisions that guide the future of our data platform and infrastructure.
• Work closely with AWS infrastructure and services, helping to ensure our platform is secure, scalable, and cost-effective.
• Lead by example—writing high-quality code, driving best practices, and mentoring other developers when needed.  

What are we looking for?

• Strong programming skills in Golang or similar languages like Java or C++, with a passion for writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
• Experience with data infrastructure—including databases, data streaming technologies (ex. Kafka), and modern cloud-native storage solutions.
• Background in designing and maintaining microservices running in Kubernetes, with an eye for performance and reliability.
• Cloud expertise, preferably in AWS, with a solid understanding of architecting scalable and cost-effective systems.
• Proven ability to build reliable, high-throughput systems on top of streaming platforms like Kafka.
• Passion for mentorship, team collaboration, and helping junior and intermediate developers grow.
• Curiosity and a research-driven mindset, always looking to explore new technologies and make thoughtful, informed decisions.
