What you will do

• SolarWinds is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Platform Insights team, the team responsible for the tools and platforms that help SolarWinds engineers build better, faster, and with more confidence. You will help us build, integrate, and evolve these platforms as SolarWinds moves toward an agent-oriented engineering model.
• Build and maintain internal platform services that give engineering teams visibility into their services, ownership, costs, and health — across the full software development lifecycle
• Develop and extend REST APIs and integrations that connect our engineering ecosystem: source control, identity, CI/CD, and cost data
• Design and ship automation that reduces manual toil for engineers — from self-service workflows and ChatOps interactions to scheduled agents that surface actionable insights
• Contribute to the FinOps tooling that tracks and reports cloud cost attribution across hundreds of services and teams
• Help evolve our approach to service catalog data quality — ownership, dependencies, and team relationships — and make that data reliable enough to power policy and automation
• Work closely with engineering teams across the organization as internal customers, translating their friction points into durable platform capabilities
• Take rotating sprint hero duty — monitoring platform health, triaging incoming requests, and keeping the team unblocked
• Collaborate on infrastructure-as-code changes that provision and configure the systems your team owns

Required Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, developer tooling, or a related field.
• Proficiency in Python — the team's primary language across all services
• Experience building and maintaining REST APIs (FastAPI or similar framework)
• Working knowledge of containerization and Kubernetes — all team services run in k8s
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform)
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and workflows (we run CircleCI)
• Comfort integrating with third-party APIs and webhooks (GitHub, Slack, AWS, etc.)
• Strong written communication — we rely on async collaboration across distributed teams

Nice to have

• Experience with Go
• Familiarity with gRPC and protobuf
• Experience with GraphQL APIs (client-side — querying GitHub GraphQL, Jira, etc.)
• Exposure to FinOps, cloud cost visibility, or financial data tooling
• Familiarity with Internal Developer Portals, service catalogs, or CMDB-style data products
• Exposure to Entra ID / Azure AD, SCIM provisioning, or SSO integrations (GitHub Teams, SAML)
• Prior experience contributing to platform, developer experience, or internal tooling teams
• What we are looking for
• Genuine interest in developer experience — you find it meaningful to make other engineers' lives easier
• Ownership mindset and strong discipline: you notice gaps, raise them, and drive them to resolution
• Willingness to learn, improve systems, and drive reliability-focused changes
• Practical approach to solving infrastructure and operational problems
• Team player who values clear communication and documentation, with a habit of sharing context and decisions
• Continuous learner who stays current with new technologies and modern engineering practices

Our benefits:

• 25 days of vacation per year
• 3 sick days per year
• 10 study days per year
• 2 volunteering days per year
• 4 weeks’ holidays after 5-year tenure, Sabbatical Leave
