Make Your Mark: As a Sr. Software Engineer, you will play a crucial role in delivering high-quality, resilient releases to our customers by designing, developing, troubleshooting, maintaining, optimizing, and scaling BlackLine’s cloud-based backend services and driving innovation into our product suite. In this role, you will bridge software engineering and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)—collaborating across teams to build scalable new features, optimize existing services with elegant code, automate CI/CD pipelines, establish robust observability, and ensure uninterrupted platform availability. Your attention to detail, tenacity, creative problem-solving, and thinking ahead will directly impact the company's success, operational resilience, and the success of your peers across the organization. If you have a passion for delivering products that make a difference, are driven to make systems better and more reliable in all that you do, and are eager to work in a collaborative agile environment where developers are dedicated to solving customer problems and innovating, then we want to talk to you. You'll Get To: Feature Delivery & Core Engineering: Design, develop, and deliver product features and scalable cloud backend microservices, while adhering to timelines, coding standards, requirements, and quality. Architecture & Maintainability: Implement, refine, and enforce software development techniques to ensure that delivered features meet software integration, performance, security, maintainability, and high-availability expectations. Code Quality & Best Practices: Maintain high standards of software quality and technical excellence within the team by establishing good practices and habits and writing clean, testable, maintainable, and secure code. CI/CD & Deployment Automation: Architect, enhance, and maintain automated CI/CD deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD) to support zero-downtime rolling deployments, automated verification, and rapid release velocity. Site Reliability & Observability: Establish Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and error budgets; build full-stack telemetry and monitoring solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog) to drive rapid MTTD and MTTR. Culture of Excellence: Inspire a forward-thinking team of developers, acting as an agent of change and evangelist for a quality-first, reliability-focused engineering culture within the organization. Mentorship & Coaching: Mentor and coach junior team members, guiding them to sound architectural solutions, automated testing patterns, and modern DevOps practices. Proactive Problem-Solving: Proactively identify issues, bottlenecks, gaps, latency spikes, or scalability risks, and work to either directly affect change or advocate for that change by collaborating with peers and leadership to build consensus and take action. Release Support & Incident Response: Perform critical maintenance, deployment, and release support activities, participate in blameless post-mortems, and provide occasional off-hours support. Collaboration & Results: Adaptable team player with strong collaboration skills, clear technical communication, and a steadfast focus on results and customer value delivery. Continuous Innovation: Demonstrated passion for engineering excellence, curiosity, and continuous learning in cloud-native technologies, automated testing, and developer productivity tools.

Containerization: Practical experience with containerization technologies (Docker) and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, EKS, or AKS). Automation & CI/CD: Experience configuring and managing continuous integration and delivery pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) and automated testing frameworks. AI & Developer Productivity: 1+ years of experience with AI development tools, coding assistants, and modern productivity-enhancing processes. We're Even More Excited If You Have (Preferred Qualifications): Public Cloud & Cloud Native: Hands-on experience with public cloud architecture (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and cloud-native services. Distributed Systems: Experience in service-oriented architecture (SOA), event-driven microservices, and designing/scaling high-performance distributed systems. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Experience authoring and managing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Helm, or CloudFormation. Databases & Data Modeling: Advanced knowledge of SQL (stored procedures, data models, transactional flows) with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and NoSQL databases. Messaging & Middleware: Experience with messaging and streaming platforms (Kafka, SQS, RabbitMQ), API gateways, identity/auth management, and workflow orchestration. Observability Tooling: Familiarity with distributed tracing, APM, and metrics collection using Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Splunk, or ELK Stack. Front-End Technologies: Experience with front-end technologies (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, modern JavaScript frameworks) is a plus. Open Source & Reliability: Active experience with open-source tools, chaos engineering, and resilient architectural patterns.
