What you will do
- SolarWinds is looking for a Software Engineer to join the Platform Insights team, the team responsible for the tools and platforms that help SolarWinds engineers build better, faster, and with more confidence. You will help us build, integrate, and evolve these platforms as SolarWinds moves toward an agent-oriented engineering model.
- Build and maintain internal platform services that give engineering teams visibility into their services, ownership, costs, and health — across the full software development lifecycle
- Develop and extend REST APIs and integrations that connect our engineering ecosystem: source control, identity, CI/CD, and cost data
- Design and ship automation that reduces manual toil for engineers — from self-service workflows and ChatOps interactions to scheduled agents that surface actionable insights
- Contribute to the FinOps tooling that tracks and reports cloud cost attribution across hundreds of services and teams
- Help evolve our approach to service catalog data quality — ownership, dependencies, and team relationships — and make that data reliable enough to power policy and automation
- Work closely with engineering teams across the organization as internal customers, translating their friction points into durable platform capabilities
- Take rotating sprint hero duty — monitoring platform health, triaging incoming requests, and keeping the team unblocked
- Collaborate on infrastructure-as-code changes that provision and configure the systems your team owns
