Staff Engineer

Job Description

Pismo Technology Organisation

At Pismo, our Technology Organisation is built around empowered engineering tribes that own their domains end-to-end. We value autonomy, accountability, and continuous improvement. Our Product Engineering Tribes are responsible for delivering scalable, secure, and innovative solutions that drive real value for our clients and internal teams.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be a key contributor to a high-impact squad, helping to design, build, and evolve platform-level products that support critical deployment and orchestration workflows.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the team building a Pipeline Orchestration Platform — a product designed to simplify and automate service bundle promotions and environment rollbacks.

This platform will be UI-driven, secure, multi-tenant, and fully observable. It will integrate with our existing deployment infrastructure and serve both technical and non-technical users across engineering, operations, and support.

You’ll work closely with Staff Engineers, Engineering Managers, and cross-functional partners to deliver a Minimum Lovable Product (MLP) and contribute to its long-term evolution.

The Work Itself

• Develop orchestration logic for coordinated service promotions and rollbacks.
• Build secure, scalable APIs and front-end components.
• Integrate with CI/CD pipelines and deployment infrastructure.
• Ensure observability through dashboards, logs, and alerts.
• Collaborate with SRE, Security, IAM, and Architecture to meet operational and compliance standards.
• Participate in technical design discussions and document key decisions.
• Promote best practices in monitoring, alerting, and performance optimisation.
• Contribute to the platform’s scalability, maintainability, and usability.

Essential Functions

• Deliver high-quality, production-ready code in a fast-paced environment.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and continuous integration.
• Translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Collaborate with teammates to solve complex engineering challenges.
• Apply security best practices (e.g., OWASP) and ensure auditability.
• Help define and maintain architectural standards and documentation.
• Identify and address performance bottlenecks and technical debt.
• Support cross-team interactions and anticipate integration impacts.

This is a remote position. A remote position does not require job duties be performed within proximity of a Visa office location. Remote positions may be required to be present at a Visa office with scheduled notice.

Qualifications

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- Additional certifications in cloud architecture, security, or software design are a plus.
