Platzi is the largest technology school in the Hispanic world, serving over 7 million students and 4,000 companies with online education in AI, Cybersecurity, English, Programming, and Leadership. The company operates mostly remote with key offices in Bogotá, Medellín, and Mexico City.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Growth Marketing team, you will design and build the systems, data models, and services that power the product millions of Latin American students use daily. You own these systems end-to-end in production: performance, reliability, cost, and recovery from failures. You report to the Engineering Manager and work closely with the Growth Marketing team.
Seniority at Platzi means sound judgment and technical depth, not distance from code. You take ambiguous problems and return with defensible decisions—including the decision not to build. You care about what your code costs to run and maintain long-term, not just getting it merged. You design and build services and data models that scale as product and traffic grow. You make architecture decisions you can defend and push back on complexity that doesn't justify itself. You leverage AI and LLMs to accelerate design, implementation, and code review, while maintaining the same rigor for AI-generated code as your own. You raise standards around you through code review, technical standards, and early intervention to stop bad decisions.
Requirements:
- At least 5 years shipping and operating software in production, with real depth in system design
- Strong fundamentals: data modeling, APIs, performance, concurrency, and failure modes
- Demonstrated ownership of a system through real scale or a migration; ability to explain what you'd do differently now
- Ability to weigh technical decisions against business needs and explain tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
- Fluent English and Spanish
