At Cision, we build software that supports large-scale, global enterprise infrastructure. Our teams enable platform, operations, and engineering groups with tools that improve visibility, reliability, automation, and decision-making across complex systems.
We are seeking a Staff Full Stack Software Engineer to lead the design and delivery of internal platforms used by enterprise infrastructure teams. This is a senior individual contributor role for an engineer who thrives in ambiguity, works independently, and owns systems end-to-end—from architecture through production operations.
You will operate as a technical leader within the team, influencing design decisions, setting engineering standards, and delivering high-impact solutions across backend services, data pipelines, and user-facing applications.

What You’ll Do
• Architect, build, and own full-stack software platforms supporting enterprise infrastructure and operations teams.
• Lead the technical design of systems that ingest, process, analyze, and expose infrastructure and operational data at scale.
• Develop backend services and APIs for data collection, enrichment, and querying.
• Build and maintain web interfaces with advanced search, filtering, and usability tailored for technical users.
• Design and implement ETL and data processing pipelines for structured and semi-structured data sources.
• Ensure applications are fully containerized and production-ready using Docker and Kubernetes-based deployment models.
• Act as a technical authority on system design, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Collaborate with platform, infrastructure, security, and product stakeholders to shape solutions aligned with long-term platform strategy.
• Set and uphold engineering best practices around testing, code quality, documentation, and operational readiness.
• Review designs and code across the team, providing clear guidance and raising the overall technical bar.
• Identify systemic issues, reduce technical debt, and proactively improve platform scalability and developer experience.

What You’ll Bring
• Extensive experience as a Staff or Senior Full Stack Software Engineer working on complex, production systems.
• Proven ability to operate independently in ambiguous problem spaces and drive solutions to completion.
• Strong backend engineering experience, including API design and data-intensive services.
• Experience building data-driven applications involving ingestion, transformation, and analysis.
• Proficiency in one or more backend languages such as C#, Python, Go, or Java.
• Strong SQL skills and experience with relational databases.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized application delivery.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals and cloud-native application design.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and modern software development workflows.
• Excellent technical judgment, communication skills, and ability to influence without authority.

Preferred Experience
• Experience designing and operating systems on Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar databases.
• Experience with ETL pipelines, analytics platforms, or operational data tooling.
• Exposure to cloud platforms such as GCP or AWS.
• Background building internal platforms or tools for infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering teams.
• Understanding of observability, cost optimization, reliability engineering, or infrastructure automation.
Education & Experience
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Typically 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of large or critical systems.
