IT, Software Engineer 3

As an IT, Software Engineer 3, you will help design and deliver backend and full-stack capabilities for Spinup self-service and cloud engineering at Yale.

• Design and implement high-performance backend services using Golang and Ruby
• Develop and operate Spinup RESTful micro-service APIs for orchestration of resource provisioning across providers
• Implement layered orchestration patterns (example: Server API delegating to provider APIs such as EC2-API and VMware-API)
• Support asynchronous long-running tasks with status tracking
• Ensure secure inter-service authentication between services
• Use tag-based, rebuildable indexing backed by ElasticSearch
• Deploy services as containers using ECS Fargate
• Build and maintain integrations directly against the AWS API and other cloud provider interfaces
• Architect and manage cloud resources across AWS, Azure, and GCP using Terraform
• Create and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions to support delivery
• Implement and enforce security and compliance controls using Cloud IAM and network security configuration (including VPCs, Security Groups, and Firewalls) aligned to NIST and HIPAA
• Own backend project execution end to end, from scoping and architecture through deployment and post-launch optimization
• Translate technical requirements for Product, Security, and Compliance teams to align engineering goals with business objectives
• Build and extend UI capabilities for Spinup self-service and managed web interfaces using Laravel (PHP) (MVC) with Vue.js and Bootstrap
• Deliver UI and app logic, including Laravel controllers, Vuex stores, routes, and components to support provisioning and cloud resource management from pre-defined offerings
• Onboard new services into the UI end to end by implementing Laravel actions, controllers, web/API routes, and background jobs (examples: Resource Delete, Resource Update) that call backend micro-service APIs
• Design corresponding Vue experiences using Vue create and view patterns with reusable, minimalist components
• Participate in on-call rotation and manage cloud resource requests via ServiceNow to support high availability and enterprise service delivery
• Design, analyze, code, test, debug, document, and maintain moderately complex enterprise systems
• Develop enhancements that support a positive end-user experience
• Research and modify specifications throughout the production life cycle
• Create and implement project plans for projects with straightforward inter-dependencies
