Fanatics - Software Engineer - Java/Python

job Description :

What You'll Work On :

- Build SDKs & Developer Abstractions.

- You'll design and maintain the internal libraries and SDKs that make it easy for engineering teams to instrument their services, build reliable workflows, and interact with platform capabilities - without needing to understand the underlying complexity.

- Our primary language is Go, with legacy SDK support across Java, Python, Node.js, and .NET.

- Own & Operate Production Platforms.

- You'll take end-to-end ownership of the platforms your team runs - from writing the code to deploying and operating it in production.

- Our stack spans observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, Grafana Cloud, Grafana Loki), logging pipelines (Kafka, Elasticsearch), workflow orchestration (Temporal), and security access control (SpiceDB, Okta).

- Infrastructure runs on Kubernetes, managed with Terraform, ArgoCD, and Kustomize.

- Improve the Developer Experience.

- You'll think beyond your immediate platform and consider how your work impacts the engineers who depend on it.

- That means contributing to CI/CD pipelines, improving internal tooling, writing great documentation, and advocating for platform patterns that reduce friction across the org.

What We're Looking For :

Required :

- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with significant hands-on coding in production environments.

- Strong proficiency in Go this is our primary language and you'll write a lot of it.

- Solid experience with Kubernetes - deploying, operating, and troubleshooting workloads in production.

- Experience with observability tooling : OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, structured logging, or metrics pipelines.

- Familiarity with CI/CD practices and tools (ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, or similar).

- Infrastructure-as-code experience, ideally with Terraform.

- Strong engineering fundamentals : Clean code, testing, code review, documentation.

Nice to Have :

- Experience with Temporal or other workflow orchestration platforms.

- Hands-on experience with Kafka and/or Elasticsearch.

- Familiarity with SpiceDB, Zanzibar-style authorization models, or identity platforms like Okta.

- Experience building and maintaining developer-facing SDKs or internal libraries.

- Exposure to Java, Python, Node.js, or .NET (helpful for maintaining legacy SDKs).

- Experience with Grafana Cloud or Grafana Loki.

What Makes You a Great Fit :

- You're a software engineer at heart who happens to love platform and infrastructure problems.

- You think carefully about the developer experience and how your platforms affect other teams.

- You're comfortable owning systems end-to-end - from writing the code to running it in production.

- You can work across a broad surface area without losing depth.

- You communicate clearly and collaborate well in a distributed team environment.

Why Join Us :

- High ownership and technical autonomy you'll have real impact on systems used by the entire engineering org.

- A team that values clean code, solid architecture, and thoughtful platform design.

- Modern, well-scoped stack with interesting engineering challenges across observability, workflow, and access control.

- Collaborative culture with a strong emphasis on developer experience.
