About the job

At Allegro, we operate at a massive scale where performance, reliability, and developer efficiency are paramount. Within our multi-product platform team, we design and maintain the critical infrastructure, low-code engines, and shared technical solutions used by other engineering teams to build secure and auditable internal tools across the entire ecosystem.

Our internal platform solutions are utilized company-wide to streamline data access and simplify admin tool creation. This environment demands exceptional complexity management, structural scalability, and out-of-the-box architectural thinking to eliminate repetitive developer bottlenecks and ensure that our customer support department can operate without disruption.

The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, your primary focus will be the development, maintenance, and architectural evolution of our core backend platform services and low-code infrastructure.

• Stability & Reliability: Actively monitor, optimize, and deep-dive into platform systems to ensure maximum stability and safeguard our internal SLAs. You will share responsibility for system availability by participating in our casual on-call duty rotation.
• Enabling Internal Teams: Provide a robust technical foundation and clear abstraction layers so other teams can build and deploy their tools swiftly, securely, and consistently.
