BlueCloud is a Snowflake Elite Partner and the 2026 CoCo Catalyst Snowflake Partner of the Year. We help enterprise organizations move from fragmented legacy systems to unified, AI-ready Snowflake platforms — delivering data migration, engineering, governance, BI & analytics, and AI/ML solutions 40–50% faster than traditional approaches. With 450+ Snowflake consultants, 200+ enterprise transformations under our belt, and a 100% Snowflake focus, we combine advisory-led thinking with AI-powered accelerators to turn months of work into weeks of results. Our clients span Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Retail, Manufacturing, Energy, and more — and the outcomes speak for themselves: 97% faster reports, 40% fraud reduction, $1.5M in client savings, and 10× client growth. We don't just strategize — we execute. We’re looking for a software engineer to design and build a next-generation reliability platform for the client's production systems. You’ll blend traditional distributed systems engineering with AI-assisted development to give teams a single place to understand, debug, and improve the health of their services. This is a highly creative, hands-on role for someone who loves “vibe coding” — rapidly iterating, shipping, and refining with strong intuition— while still holding a very high bar for reliability, quality, and maintainability. What you will do ● Build a centralized reliability command center that gives teams a unified view of system health, risk, and reliability across services and environments. ● Create AI agents that can assist with incident triage, root-cause exploration, log/trace summarization, and recommended next actions. ● Create delightful developer-facing features and APIs that help engineers explore data, debug issues, and make better decisions. ● Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude, Copilot-like tools) as leverage to prototype, refactor, and ship high-quality code quickly. ● Own projects end-to-end: requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, rollout, and iteration based on feedback. ● Collaborate closely with partner teams (product, infra, data, SRE) to understand pain points and translate them into simple, powerful solutions. What you will bring ● 5+ years of experience in backend or full-stack engineering, with a track record of building and operating complex production systems. ● Strong proficiency in Python, with experience architecting data-intensive applications and robust APIs. ● Problem-solving and product sense: you care about the "what" and the "why," not just the "how." You are capable of taking ambiguous requirements and rapidly iterating towards a working solution ● Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development, such as Cursor, Claude, or similar tools, and enthusiasm for using them to build and ship features faster. ● Practical use of LLMs or AI frameworks to enhance automation and guidance with guardrails and citations We are looking for someone who is experienced in building lasting relationships and is passionate about making meaningful contributions to our team. Don't be mistaken, this is a challenging career path but also highly rewarding. Are you up for the challenge? If so, stop reading and start applying. Originally posted on Himalayas
