Team Overview:

Impinj is seeking a Senior Staff Software/DevOps Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure and reliability to join our Solutions Software organization to design, build, and operate the cloud platform that manages our RFID readers at scale. In this position, you will work hands-on across application code and infrastructure, in close collaboration with the senior engineers on the team, to scale, harden, and monitor a platform that serves very large reader fleets.

We’re building a high-caliber software team from the ground up with uncompromising standards for quality, velocity, and close, cross-functional collaboration. You’ll work across the full technology stack (frontend, backend, mobile, databases, event sourcing, MQTT, PKI/certificates, IoT) alongside collaborators from diverse disciplines including design, firmware, and silicon.

What You Will Do:

  • Design and build infrastructure that scales automatically to handle connection surges of up to a million RFID readers
  • Design for resilience to cloud regional outages, including multi-region deployment, failover, and disaster recovery
  • Write production code in Rust and TypeScript for backend services, APIs, and data pipelines
  • Profile and resolve performance, scalability, and reliability issues across the system
  • Build and maintain infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, secrets and certificate management, deployment, and environment management
  • Build monitoring, alerting, logging, and reporting for production systems, and handle incident response
  • Build and operate event-driven systems using event sourcing, message queues, and MQTT
  • Drive technical strategy for infrastructure and present proposals to engineering, product, and executive leadership
  • Take primary ownership of infrastructure and operations, partnering with senior engineers who build and ship alongside you
  • Lead cross-functional technical initiatives with engineering, product, and other Impinj teams where our platform intersects with theirs
  • Establish engineering best practices and patterns that increase team velocity and ensure long-term scalability
  • Mentor and coach engineers through code reviews, design reviews, and technical guidance
  • Lead the team’s adoption of AI tools and practices for building, testing, and operating software

What You Will Bring:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Typically requires 12+ years of professional software development experience
  • Experience developing production application code as well as designing and operating cloud infrastructure
  • Deep expertise in cloud platforms, containers and orchestration, infrastructure as code, networking, security, and observability
  • Strong understanding of scaling, load management, consistency, and failure modes in distributed systems
  • Proven track record of building and operating systems at scale, with detailed examples of problems you solved
  • Demonstrated history of delivering results on new, ambiguous, or difficult technical problems
  • Demonstrated history of increasing technical scope and influence, including mentoring engineers and leading initiatives across teams
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a record of helping teammates succeed
  • Demonstrated use of AI tools to improve the speed and quality of engineering work
  • Experience with Azure, event sourcing, IoT device fleets, or embedded software preferred
  • Deep expertise in Rust preferred

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
