Senior Engineer

• We are excited to be launching in Columbia and will have enhanced job postings with English and Spanish in early 2025.

Senior Engineer – Platform Engineering
Who You'll Work With
At Slalom Build we co-create custom software, data and cloud products with clients who are ready to accelerate their digital transformation. We're passionate about technology, compelled by its potential as we help create the digital products, experiences, and technology-driven organizations that drive true change. We're thrilled by the opportunity to build the future we want to see, with anyone willing to join us.

Slalom Build is looking for a Senior Engineer to join our Americas team in the Platform Engineering (PE) capability. Our PE engineers build the secure automation capabilities that enable our application and data engineers to unveil their products to the world. Our goal is to create the platform to make a product smart, secure, and fast, while minimizing toil.

You'll be working hands-on in the cloud with some of the newest technologies out there. You'll build in AWS, GCP, and Azure using a wide variety of tools across the DevOps landscape. You name it, we work on it. And so can you.

What You'll Do
In PE, a Senior Engineer defines the complex automation tasks and cloud architecture components for a given solution. Your role is to maximize velocity for platform and environment enablement for developers through leveraging a DevOps mindset and focus. Specifically, you will:

• Advocate for DevOps culture, tooling, delivery methods, and cultural practices within Slalom Build as well as our clients.
• Assist with estimating work efforts and story pointing required for each phase of an agile project.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to peers, less experienced engineers, and client personnel.
• Identify, qualify, and raise technical risks and issues.
• Help grow our culture of learning by taking part in and coordinating opportunities such as presenting at technical conferences, community groups, writing blog articles, and contributing to partner-coordinated workshops

We are looking for candidates who are interested in working in a hybrid environment as we build the foundation and grow our team in Columbia. We offer a flexible working environment to balance the need to work independently, with days that may require in-person collaboration at our office.
What You'll Bring
Senior Engineers in PE bring experience across software engineering and DevOps in production across at least one major public cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure). We will tap into your knowledge of designing and implementing end-to-end continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines as well as your experience in configuration management and infrastructure as code (e.g., Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM, etc.) Security is part of everything we do and will require your knowledge of fundamental cloud security (e.g., identity and access management, firewalls, etc.) as we build for our customers.

As a Senior Engineer you will collaborate across multiple functional and/or technical teams to deliver an Agile-based project. You will be leveraging your growth mentality, bringing enthusiasm about learning new technologies quickly, and applying your gained knowledge to address practical business problems for your customer. Showing your ability to communicate with clients on a business level and translate their needs into technical solutions will be what maximizes velocity for the team.
