Purpose Driven Career
Spend your days making a difference, not just working for a living. At Galvanize, we help our thousands of customers in countries all over the world make a direct impact every day. We do that by creating security, risk management, compliance, and audit software that uncovers fraud, waste, and abuse in their organizations.
Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with an award-winning culture, and a global presence. We work with the best customers and coworkers, tackling strategic business challenges and building awesome careers. Our Values are Customer Intensity, Embracing Ambiguity, and Authenticity, and they influence everything we do.
As a Senior Software Engineer (Cloud Infrastructure), you will be instrumental at continuing to strengthen our infrastructure brigade that build and optimize the infrastructure our other brigades rely on every day. Our team operates like many others: we write code, we QA our code, and we demo at the end of each dash (a dash is like a sprint); all that differs is that they focus on the infrastructure.
