Staff/Senior Software Engineer

We’re looking for curious and conscientious builders, innovators, and collaborators. At Replicated, we believe true impact comes from caring deeply about your work, thinking in terms of long-term relationships, and approaching every challenge with curiosity and a willingness to revisit first principles. If you're someone who thrives on continuous learning, seeks purpose in solving real (and sometimes complex) problems, as well as cares about building sustainable, thoughtful solutions, you’ll find your home here.

Replicated is a Commercial Software Distribution Platform that tackles some of the hardest challenges in modern enterprise software. We help vendors deliver Kubernetes applications into highly controlled customer environments — from VPCs and on-prem data centers to fully air-gapped networks. Our platform includes Kubernetes-native installers, automated release pipelines, container registries and proxies for restricted networks, license management, telemetry, and integrated support tooling. Engineers at Replicated work on distributed systems, networking, and developer experience — ensuring that even the most complex applications can be deployed and operated reliably in security-sensitive environments.

We work with fast-growing enterprise software vendors such as KNIME, Puppet, Smartbear, BigID, and Swimlane, helping them bring their products into some of the world’s most security-conscious enterprises.

We are fully remote and plan to stay that way! We do have a small office in Austin, TX where our local teammates enjoy spending time working together. We're open to any state in the US.

In addition, for some roles, we're open to candidates in Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand (we will specify on postings for these).

About the Role

We are looking for a Staff/Senior Software Engineer to join our Installers Pod! You'll work on our new Embedded appliance that's easy to install, update, and manage - a product that many software vendors use for distributing products to their customers.
