Backend Software Engineer (W2)

Job Title: Backend Software Engineer

Location: Dearborn, MI (4x Week)

Duration: 6-12 Months

W2 Role | Onsite Interview

Job Description:

About the Team:

• Our mission is to empower teams to reliably run production systems using modern cloud-native tools.
• We focus on building scalable, automated, and resilient solutions that benefit the entire engineering organization - managing the infrastructure that connects and serves 26M+ vehicles globally.
• We are currently executing a multi-phase platform transformation: decoupling services to reduce blast radius, building a shard-based architecture to scale to 2028 demand, and laying the groundwork for Google Cloud Platform migration.
• This is not maintenance work - it is foundational platform engineering that shapes how connected vehicle platform operates for the next five years.
• Our primary customers are internal engineering teams, but the solutions we build have direct impact on vehicle reliability, operational cost, and ability to launch new vehicle programs on time.

Responsibilities:

• As a Software Engineer on the Cloud Engineering team, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the cloud platform and automation tooling that powers our platform transformation.
• Your contributions will directly impact the reliability, scalability, and cost-efficiency of a system serving millions of vehicles.

Skills Required:

Key responsibilities include:

• Platform Development & Automation
• Design and build cloud-native solutions that enable automated, repeatable shard provisioning - including cluster bootstrapping, network configuration, service mesh setup, and health validation.
• Build the control plane tooling that allows a new shard to be provisioned and traffic-ready in under 24 hours with zero manual steps.
• Infrastructure as Code Own and extend production Terraform modules for multi-cloud environments (AWS and Google Cloud Platform).
• Maintain GitOps-driven infrastructure workflows using Atlantis or similar tooling. Ensure infrastructure changes are reviewed, tested, and auditable before reaching production.

• Kubernetes & Service
• Mesh Provision, manage, and automate Kubernetes cluster lifecycle (EKS and GKE).
• Write Helm charts for multi-shard deployments parameterized by shard ID, region, and environment.
• Configure and operate Istio service mesh including traffic management, mTLS enforcement, and observability.
• Google Cloud Platform Platform Engineering Build and operate Google Cloud Platform-native platform components: GKE workload deployment, Pub/Sub integration, Cloud Storage, Secret Manager, workload identity federation, and VPC-SC perimeter controls.
• Support the phased migration from AWS to Google Cloud Platform as the architecture evolves.

• API Gateway & Ingress
• Configure and operate API gateway infrastructure (Tyk, Apigee, or NGINX) including routing policies, mTLS enforcement, rate limiting, and SLI/SLO metric replication.
• Drive zero-downtime ingress migrations with automated runbook validation.

• CI/CD Automation
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using ArgoCD, Tekton, or Concourse.
• Automate deployment gates - cluster health checks, fleet distribution validation, rollback triggers - so that shard migrations execute reliably without human intervention at each step.

• Security & Compliance
• Implement IAM best practices across AWS and Google Cloud Platform: environment-specific role isolation, workload identity, least-privilege access, and automated access reviews.
• Implement and maintain monitoring for quota thresholds, certificate expiry, and security policy drift.

• Observability & Monitoring
• Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, and dashboarding solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Cloud Operations) that give engineering teams real-time visibility into shard health, fleet distribution balance, and platform SLOs.
• Automation & Tooling Write automation scripts and internal tools (Python, Go, Bash, Node.js) that improve platform workflows - migration orchestration CLIs, fleet distribution validators, runbook automation, and capacity planning tools.

• Operational Support
• Participate in on-call rotations, troubleshoot incidents, and apply SRE principles to improve system resilience.
• Drive root cause elimination, not just mitigation.

Thanks & Regards.
