If this sounds like the kind of company you'd like to work for, it gets better. Equinix's Software Architecture & Engineering team is on a mission to build next-generation platforms that power global operations at scale. We're looking for excellent software engineers with a product-building mindset to help drive that mission forward.
You'll be architecting and building the platform that Equinix's global data center operations runs on - working at the intersection of enterprise architecture, full stack delivery, and AI-assisted engineering. The problems are real, the scale is global, and the decisions you make here will shape how thousands of technicians and engineers work across 70+ metros worldwide.
We're modernising the platforms that power day-to-day operations across Equinix's global data center network - moving to a modern full stack architecture built around a configurable framework, so our teams can adapt faster and scale without one-off development every time requirements change.
This is a Senior Staff (Expert) Engineer role. You'll own detailed technical design and hands-on delivery, working across business stakeholders, enterprise architects, and cross-functional engineering teams. You'll also serve as the technical anchor - setting the standard and shaping how things get built.
Stack: React · Spring Boot · Java · PostgreSQL · CI/CD · GitHub Copilot
Lead the team's AI-assisted development practices - writing precise prompts, reviewing generated output with the same rigour as hand-written code, and owning the maintainability of everything that ships
Stakeholder Collaboration
What a Strong Profile Looks Like
We're looking for engineers who have built real depth on one side of the stack, grown meaningfully into the other, and are ready to own an entire delivery chain and elevate the team around them.
Candidates with stronger frontend depth (React) who have solid backend experience are a particularly good fit for the current phase of this work. The balance will shift over time - comfort moving with it matters.
