Senior Software Engineer - Data Infrastructure - Colombia Job Description

About Backblaze

Backblaze is the object storage leader in the open cloud movement, fueling customer success with cloud storage built purposefully to unlock budgets, unburden administrators, and unleash innovators. Together with our partners, we’re helping customers break free from the restrictive, overpriced legacy solutions that hold them back, and blaze forward with the full power of the open cloud in their hands.

Founded in 2007, we scaled the business with less than $3 million in outside funding until 2021, when we did a traditional IPO on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Today, Backblaze generates over $100m in revenue and is the leading specialized storage cloud - managing over three billion gigabytes of data storage for 500K+ customers in 175+ countries, including businesses, developers, IT professionals, and individuals.

Want to know what you’ll be doing?

You will work on our data infrastructure platform which supports the B2 Object Storage and Computer Backup products, responsible for the data infrastructure that everything runs on. You will help improve automation, observability and stability for durability, increase throughput, and drive architectural changes to support the long term requirements of our service.

Responsibilities:

- Design and build automation frameworks that let other engineers provision, configure, and repair fleet infrastructure themselves
- Design and extend the observability stack (metrics, logs, traces, alerts) that tells us whether the storage platform is healthy and where it is degrading




- Build reporting, dashboards, and visualizations that give engineering and leadership a clear view into fleet health, capacity, and operational trends
- Build system health tooling that detects failing hardware, drifting configuration, and capacity risk before they turn into incidents
- Lead technical design discussions and produce clear design documents for changes that span multiple services and teams
- Drive the implementation of large features from design through rollout, including the migration and backfill work that real systems require
- Partner with the on-call rotation to turn recurring toil and incident findings into automation and better signal

At this point, we hope you’re feeling excited about the job description you’re reading. Learning, developing, and growing are key parts of our culture, so even if you don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply.

At Backblaze, we value being fair and good to our customers, partners, and employees. That’s why diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of our values. We are committed to fostering a workforce where all employees feel a sense of belonging regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, socio-economic status, ability, veteran status, and education. We believe that our dedication to cultivating a diverse workspace not only allows us to better serve our customers in over 175 countries but further reinforces our commitment to doing the right thing. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
