What’s the job about?
As a Staff Software Developer at Auvik, you’ll lead through technical excellence. You’ll dive deep into our systems, tackle the hardest technical problems, and deliver production-quality solutions that improve our products and platform at scale. While your influence may extend across teams through shared tooling, mentorship, or technical guidance, your day-to-day focus will be deeply embedded in a development team — designing, coding, debugging, and shipping high-quality software alongside your teammates.
This role is ideal for a developer who wants to stay close to the codebase while still having wide-reaching technical influence and driving high-impact outcomes.
What will I be doing?
You’ll focus on:
- Own complex technical challenges and architect scalable, performant solutions.
- Writing clean, maintainable code — and lots of it — in languages like Go, Scala, or TypeScript (React/GraphQL).
- Diagnosing and resolving complex production - digging across systems to find root causes and deliver lasting fixes that restore customer trust.
