Software Developer IV

Role:Software Developer IV-IN (Golang)

Location: Remote Work From Home

About the Role

The Private Cloud Product Software Engineering organization is seeking a seasoned Software Developer IV to join our Infrastructure Automation team. In this role, you will be a senior individual contributor and technical leader responsible for building and evolving the platform that programmatically deploys and manages hardware across Rackspace data centers.

You will design and implement Kubernetes Operators and internal developer tooling that bridges our physical infrastructure with cloud-native automation workflows. This is a high-impact, deeply technical role suited for an engineer who is equally comfortable shaping architecture and writing production Go code.

About Private Cloud Product Software Engineering

Private Cloud Product Software Engineering at Rackspace Technology owns the design, build, and operational responsibility for:

• Programmatic infrastructure platforms that enable hardware lifecycle automation at data center scale
• Internal developer tooling and enablement platforms that accelerate product delivery across engineering teams
• The interaction layer between Private Cloud customers and the products and services Rackspace Technology provides

How We Work

We work closely with product owners to deliver meaningful outcomes for our customers and internal engineering teams. Our services are built around OpenStack with event-driven and HTTP APIs, deployed to Kubernetes, and operated by the teams that build them. We own the full stack – from application logic to infrastructure – and practice continuous integration and delivery.

At the Dev IV level, we expect you to drive technical direction, not just execute on it. You will influence how we build, propose improvements to tooling and process, and bring a strong point of view backed by hands-on experience.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement Kubernetes Operators and controllers that drive programmatic hardware provisioning and lifecycle management
• Design and build internal developer tooling and automation pipelines that improve engineering velocity across the organization
• Own technical decision-making for your domain, including technology selection, API design, and data modeling
• Write robust, well-tested Go services and tools, maintaining high standards for code quality and operational reliability
• Collaborate with data and infrastructure teams to model, integrate, and expose hardware inventory and state data (e.g., via DCIM/IPAM systems)
• Identify gaps in existing tooling and automation; propose and lead initiatives to address them
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to developers across the team
• Contribute to operational responsibilities including incident response, observability, and continuous improvement of platform reliability
• Evaluate new technologies and patterns relevant to infrastructure automation and make well-reasoned adoption recommendations
