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.
Minimum qualifications
● Strong motivation to learn, improve technical skills, and grow as a software engineer.
● Knowledge of Python and/or Go, or another modern programming language, plus eagerness to grow in Python and Go as needed. Most of our code base is written in Python.
● Hands-on experience with React or another modern front-end framework is beneficial. We value junior engineers who are eager to learn and contribute to front-end technology while working in a backend-heavy team.
● Understanding of, or willingness to learn, different levels of automated tests, such as unit tests, functional tests, and integration tests.
● Problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills, both verbal and written.
Nice-to-have Qualifications
● Experience with either AWS, GCP or Azure.
● Familiarity with containerization, such as Docker, is a plus.
● Understanding of RESTful APIs and interest in API design choices.
What We Offer
● A constant stream of new things for you to learn. We're always expanding into new areas, bringing in open source projects and contributing back, and exploring new technologies.
● A set of exceptionally talented and dedicated peers, from engineering and QA to product management and customer support.
● Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities. We also believe mentors help both sides of the equation.
● A stable, collaborative and supportive work environment.
● An opportunity to see the positive impact of your work on real customers.
