We are looking for a highly independent and proactive Senior Software Engineer to be the dedicated developer for the Technical Content team.

• System Maintenance and Troubleshooting: Provide tier-one support and general troubleshooting for the team’s documentation tools, build processes, and content systems. Rapidly develop and deploy quick, ad-hoc scripts (e.g., for content migration, data extraction, and process automation) to solve immediate problems and support urgent team needs.
• Optimize Workflow: Actively assess and evaluate existing team processes and workflows to identify and propose technical solutions that enhance content creation, deployment efficiency, and overall effectiveness.

Your Experience

• Demonstrated expertise in the developer toolkit, specifically GitHub (branching, pull requests, code review) and Jira (task management, project tracking, and workflow configuration).
• Proven ability to work successfully as the sole developer on a dedicated team, demonstrating high organizational skills, self-management, and the initiative to proactively reach out to other engineering teams to ensure process and technology alignment.
• Strong aptitude for general software and system troubleshooting, diagnosing build issues, and quickly deploying solutions or ad-hoc scripts to resolve technical problems for non-developer colleagues.
• Proficiency with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a strong understanding of web architecture, API integrations, and documentation delivery systems.
• Demonstrate the ability to effectively manage a varied workload while thriving in a fast-paced environment; flexibility and adaptability will be essential for success in this role.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills for collaborating with various teams within SolarWinds, including Technical Content, Development, Support, and others involved in product delivery to the IT community.
