Software Engineer Core Senior Engineer

Job Title: Software Engineer

Location: Dearborn, MI.

Job Type: Engineering

Expected hours per week: 40 hours per week

Schedule: On-site

Pay Range: $65-74 per hour

Join our Realm team, where you’ll design and develop command-line tools, developer productivity utilities, and automation pipelines that simplify the testing resource reservation process (Phoenix, ECG, TCU, SYNC4). The goal of this role is to enable developers to spend less time maintaining testing hardware pipelines and more time innovating. This is a hands‑on senior engineering role focused on Golang, CLI tooling, and Dev Ops pipelines.

Candidates must bring strong technical depth and practical experience building developer infrastructure and automation tools, not just application features.

• Design and implement functionalities for Golang-based command-line tools.
• Develop and implement unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
• Write technical specifications for new features and improvements.
• Actively participate in Agile ceremonies and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.
• Contribute to process improvements, CI/CD pipelines, and toolchain upgrades.
• Lead the end-to-end development process with a focus on clean code and maintainability. (Detail: Drive development lifecycle, ensure modular and SOLID code, perform deep code reviews.)
• Own the production environment and adopt proactive reliability practices, including observability (structured logging, distributed tracing, SLIs/SLOs, RCA).
• Implement comprehensive automated testing strategy beyond simple unit tests; design testing pyramid (unit, integration via test containers, E2E contract testing).
• Master containerization best practices for security and efficiency: multi‑stage Docker builds, non‑root users, vulnerability scanning.
• Prove broad understanding of Google Cloud Platform ecosystem:
  Terraform IaC, IAM least privilege, Pub/Sub vs Cloud Tasks, etc.
• Utilize static analysis tools like Sonar Qube to enforce engineering standards, define quality gates, block PRs when thresholds not met.

• GCP Cloud Run (serverless execution, VPC connectors, Secret Manager, traffic splitting, min‑instances, cold‑start optimization)
• Go (idiomatic, high‑performance, concurrent code, Go routines, channels, error handling)
• API (RESTful/gRPC, OpenAPI/Swagger, idempotency keys, versioning, OAuth2/OIDC, rate limiting)
• Application Design (translate business requirements into scalable architectures, DDD, microservices, circuit breakers, scalability, architectural diagrams)
• … continued in Position Description

• Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years total engineering experience.
• 8+ years production Golang development, focused on CLI/Dev Ops/API work.
• Strong hands‑on engineering background (not people‑management or architect‑only).
• Proven track record building developer tooling and automation pipelines.
