Meet the Team

Applications are the lifeblood of organizations. They support the processes that engage customers, partners, and employees. Effective application management isn’t just a "nice to have" - it’s critical to the success of your organization.

Our goal in the App Deployment Team is to remove the barriers between data and action, and provide people with access to informative, predictive, relevant, and actionable data via the Splunk platform. This team focuses on applications management, which is integral in the adoption and successful use of Splunk’s platform.

Your impact

We are looking for a promising Software Engineer to contribute to the design, implementation, and delivery of the Splunk Cloud application management experiences. This is a backend-focused role on a team that values engineers who are eager to contribute to front-end experiences as well. You will develop reliable services primarily in Python and Go, with opportunities to make hands‑on contributions to React‑based interfaces and reusable UI components. The core of the role is backend engineering; front‑end experience with React is a valuable complement, not a full‑stack requirement. You are motivated to learn, collaborate, and build a strong foundation in software delivery while working with product management, user experience, documentation, and engineering teams.

What you’ll do

• Participate in the design, implementation, and delivery of long‑term‑impact software in accordance with given requirements and existing system architecture.

• Maintain existing technology stack and debug and fix issues

• Work closely with product management, architects, user experience, and the team to build exciting features, reusable components, and products.

• Build, analyze, and optimize backend services primarily in Python and Go, pursuing simplicity, efficiency, reliability, and performance.

• Contribute to React‑based user interfaces and reusable front‑end components when opportunities align with your interests and expertise.

• Build your understanding of existing code and use sound judgment to make improvements, seeking guidance when needed.

• Follow the software development lifecycle in an Agile methodology and contribute to a strong engineering culture through testing, observability, and operational excellence.
