Senior Staff Software Engineer
Cision
Budapest
At Cision, we build software that supports large-scale, global enterprise infrastructure. Our teams enable platform, operations, and engineering groups with tools that improve visibility, reliability, automation, and decision-making across complex systems. We are seeking a Staff Full Stack Software Engineer to lead the design and delivery of internal platforms used by enterprise infrastructure teams. This is a senior individual contributor role for an engineer who thrives in ambiguity, works independently, and owns systems end-to-end—from architecture through production operations. You will operate as a technical leader within the team, influencing design decisions, setting engineering standards, and delivering high-impact solutions across backend services, data pipelines, and user-facing applications.
What You’ll Do • Architect, build, and own full-stack software platforms supporting enterprise infrastructure and operations teams. • Lead the technical design of systems that ingest, process, analyze, and expose infrastructure and operational data at scale. • Develop backend services and APIs for data collection, enrichment, and querying. • Build and maintain web interfaces with advanced search, filtering, and usability tailored for technical users. • Design and implement ETL and data processing pipelines for structured and semi-structured data sources. • Ensure applications are fully containerized and production-ready using Docker and Kubernetes-based deployment models. • Act as a technical authority on system design, performance, reliability, and maintainability. • Collaborate with platform, infrastructure, security, and product stakeholders to shape solutions aligned with long-term platform strategy. • Set and uphold engineering best practices around testing, code quality, documentation, and operational readiness. • Review designs and code across the team, providing clear guidance and raising the overall technical bar. • Identify systemic issues, reduce technical debt, and proactively improve platform scalability and developer experience.
What You’ll Bring • Experience as a Staff or Senior Full Stack Software Engineer working on complex, production systems. • Proven ability to operate independently in ambiguous problem spaces and drive solutions to completion. • Strong backend engineering experience, including API design and data-intensive services. • Experience building data-driven applications involving ingestion, transformation, and analysis. • Proficiency in one or more backend languages such as C#, Python, Go, or Java. • Strong SQL skills and experience with relational databases. • Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized application delivery. • Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals and cloud-native application design. • Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and modern software development workflows. • Excellent technical judgment, communication skills, and ability to influence without authority.
Preferred Technical Experience • Experience designing and operating systems on Kubernetes. • Familiarity with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar databases. • Experience with ETL pipelines, analytics platforms, or operational data tooling. • Exposure to cloud platforms such as GCP or AWS. • Background building internal platforms or tools for infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering teams. • Understanding of observability, cost optimization, reliability engineering, or infrastructure automation.
Education & Experience • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. • Typically 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of large or critical systems.
Salary Range for this role - 65,000 - 75,000 Euros Annual Gross (if you are based in Bulgaria) and 24,000,000 - 26,000,000 HUF Annual Gross (if you are based in Hungary)
