Job Description

At Western Governors University, we are investing heavily in modern engineering platforms and internal tooling that improve how software is built, tested, deployed, and operated. We're seeking a highly skilled Senior Backend-Focused Full Stack Software Engineer to help design and scale the internal systems, developer platforms, and automation that power our engineering organization.

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys building backend systems and APIs-but is especially energized by improving developer experience, internal tooling, and platform capabilities. You'll work across Java and Python backend services while partnering closely with platform engineers, DevOps, and product teams to streamline the software delivery lifecycle.

You will help shape the internal "paved roads" that engineering teams rely on: CI/CD automation, service scaffolding, developer portals, observability systems, internal APIs, and shared platform services. Your work will directly improve engineering velocity, reliability, and consistency across the organization.

What You'll Do

Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services that power internal developer platforms and tooling
Develop APIs, automation services, and platform components using Java and Python
Improve and evolve internal developer experience (DevEx) systems, including build, test, and deployment pipelines
Build and maintain internal tooling for service provisioning, environment management, and release automation
Partner with DevOps and platform teams to enhance CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation
Develop internal APIs and service frameworks that enable teams to build and ship software faster
Improve observability, logging, tracing, and monitoring systems for engineering teams
Collaborate with frontend engineers working in Angular and Flutter on internal dashboards and tooling interfaces
Reduce operational friction by identifying bottlenecks in the SDLC and building scalable solutions
Lead technical design discussions for platform architecture and internal systems
Mentor engineers and help drive best practices in DevEx, automation, and platform engineering
Support and improve reliability of internal systems used by engineering teams across the organization

Required Qualifications

5+ years of professional software engineering experience
Strong backend development experience with Java and Python
Experience building internal tools, platforms, or developer-facing systems
Experience with Spring Boot, FastAPI, Flask, Django, or similar frameworks
Solid understanding of distributed systems and service-oriented architecture
Experience building APIs and automation services at scale
Familiarity with frontend integration using Angular and TypeScript
Experience with CI/CD systems and software delivery pipelines
Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
Experience with Docker and Kubernetes in production environments
Experience working with relational and NoSQL databases
Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and systems thinking skills
Excellent communication skills and ability to work across engineering teams

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in platform engineering, DevEx, or internal developer tooling teams
Experience with event-driven systems and message queues
Experience building developer portals or internal self-service platforms
Familiarity with GraphQL and API gateway architectures
Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar)
Strong knowledge of observability tooling (metrics, logging, tracing)
Experience improving build systems, test automation, or release engineering
Experience supporting large-scale engineering organizations or monorepo environments
Passion for improving engineering velocity and developer productivity
