Software Engineer II

Platform administration isn't the part of the product anyone screenshots for a demo. Nobody's writing a blog post about your identity provisioning flow. But it's the thing every other team at Diligent quietly depends on more than any other dev team in the company and when it breaks, everyone notices immediately.

If that kind of quiet, high-stakes ownership sounds appealing rather than thankless, keep reading. This role is for someone who wants real skin in the game: you build it, you ship it, you support it. We're a high-initiative team that improves things we see first and asks permission later, building secure, event-driven microservices in TypeScript on AWS, and treating infrastructure as code the same way we treat application code: with rigor, not as an afterthought.

What You'Ll Do (Not All Of It, Just The Important Stuff)

" Own your services in production. That means building good observability, keeping an eye on alerts, and responding to them before they become bigger problems. Build infrastructure as code with AWS CDK and push for CI/CD that ships safely and often — not "big bang" releases you have to pray over.

Design RESTful APIs other teams will actually want to consume: clear contracts, sane versioning, no surprises. Write tests — unit, integration, end-to-end — as part of how you build, not a chore you do after. Show up to architecture discussions with opinions and documentation, not just vibes.

Use AI tools to move faster on coding, debugging, testing, and research — but you're still the one who validates the output. These are the essentials you'll need to get an interview 2-3 years of professional software engineering experience in an agile, full-stack-focused environment. Solid full-stack fundamentals: request lifecycles, data persistence, error handling, and code other humans can read.

js/TypeScript and SQL. " A testing mindset: you understand why unit, integration, and end-to-end tests each earn their keep. Cloud awareness (AWS preferred) — you get managed services, scalability, and what it means to actually own infrastructure.

CI/CD fundamentals — you've shipped to production frequently and lived to tell about it. Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code concepts; hands-on with Terraform, AWS CDK, or similar is a bonus, not a gate. An AI-native work style — you use these tools to move faster and know how to judge what they hand you.

" It would be great if you had these too, but we'll support you if you don't Hands-on experience with AWS serverless services (Lambda, S3, SQS, DynamoDB). Practical experience with Terraform, AWS CDK, or similar. Familiarity with event-driven architecture and platform patterns — event buses, pub/sub, EventBridge or similar.

0, SCIM, OIDC). Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or AI-integrated full-stack services. Prior work in multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
