Staff Software Engineer - Testing & Automation Exceptional software engineering is challenging. Amplifying it to ensure that multiple teams can concurrently create and manage a vast, intricate product escalates the complexity. As a Staff Engineer within the Verification Platform team at Sumo Logic, you will drive the implementation and optimization for our verification platform as well as the modernization of our CI/CD pipelines. Your mission is to develop and sustain automated tooling for all testing, verification, and functional requirements, leveraging AI reasoning and machine learning models to predict and prevent delivery issues, while integrating advanced security validation and non-functional requirements into our delivery lifecycle. You will contribute significantly to establishing automated delivery pipelines, empowering autonomous teams to create independently deployable services, and progressing Sumo Logic’s internal Platform-as-a-Service.

Reddit is a community of communities. It’s built on shared interests, passion, and trust, and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 130 million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information. For more information, visit www.redditinc.com . Reddit is where 130M+ people a day come to share what they know, ask what they don't, and find their people. Every post, comment, and new format starts with our composers. We're looking for a Senior Staff engineer to be the technical anchor for how people create on Reddit across Web, iOS, and Android. You'll own the cross-client vision for contribution. That means one shared content model and set of client contracts that all three platforms build against, the performance and reliability engines underneath, and the creation surfaces on top. Our modernized composers are now live on every platform, so the next chapter is growth: making video a first-class way to create, bringing new formats to every user, and using AI to inspire contribution without writing it for people. Every bet has to earn its way through an experiment, so you'll pair architectural judgment with real rigor about what moves the metrics. This is an IC leadership role, partnering directly with Product, Design, and Data Science leadership. Key Responsibilities: Own the cross-client architecture: Define the shared contracts that Web, iOS, and Android build against, including our rich content model, GraphQL schemas, and shared UI primitives. A feature should be designed once and shipped natively everywhere, not built three bespoke ways. Make video and media first-class: Set the client architecture for video creation, editing, drafts, and upload, built to survive bad networks, app restarts, and lower-end devices. Bring new formats to every user: Establish how

Backend Engineering: Design and build isolated, decoupled microservices in TypeScript and Go that serve as the reference standard for correctness, performance, and maintainability. Frontend Engineering: Define the frontend standards and component architecture for Showpad's integration surfaces — owning patterns for how integration configuration, connection status, and data flows are built across the platform, and ensuring complex backend behaviour translates into experiences that are intuitive and built to last. Cloud Infrastructure: Own infrastructure-as-code practices using AWS CDK across multi-region environments. Make authoritative decisions on data store selection and configuration across DynamoDB and Aurora RDS.
