Software Engineer 2, Streaming Data Platform

We're looking for a Software Engineer 2 to join Procore's Product & Technology Team. Procore software solutions aim to improve the lives of everyone in construction and the people within Product & Technology are the driving force behind our innovative, top-rated global platform. We're a customer-centric group that encompasses engineering, product, product design and data, security and business systems.

You'll join the team that owns Procore's real-time streaming data platform, the infrastructure that moves events across the company at scale. The team has real operational responsibilities today, but your mandate is bigger than keeping the lights on. You'll use your software engineering skills and AI-assisted development to reduce toil, eliminate tech debt, and unlock scale for our streaming systems. If you love building things that other engineers depend on, this role is for you.

This role reports to a Senior Engineering Manager and is a hybrid role based in Austin.

What you'll do:

• Build and maintain resilient streaming data infrastructure (Kafka, schema registry, connectors) and the self-service capabilities engineers depend on, including producer onboarding, schema management, and connector lifecycle.

• Use AI-assisted development and modern software engineering practices to accelerate delivery and raise the quality bar across the team.

• Execute on the technical roadmap for Procore's streaming data platform, delivering concrete improvements to reliability, scalability, and developer experience.

• Collaborate with teammates and partner teams across a globally distributed engineering organization to deliver improvements that support product goals, and optimize streaming data pipelines for throughput, latency, stability, and cost-efficiency.

• Implement and contribute to monitoring, alerting, logging, and observability standards to enable proactive issue detection and resolution.

• Participate in system design reviews, code reviews, and incident response, contributing to a culture of engineering excellence.

• Support on-call duties and production operations while actively building systems and processes that reduce the need for manual intervention over time.

What we're looking for:

• A builder's mindset. You're energized by creating things that scale, and you measure success by the impact your work has on other engineers and the platform.

• A genuine eagerness to learn, grow, and contribute. You lean into new challenges and see ambiguity as an opportunity, not an obstacle.

• 2+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with strong fundamentals and a track record of delivering reliable, well-crafted software.

• Solid communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across time zones and with cross-functional partners on a globally distributed team.

• Experience or strong interest in leveraging AI tools and AI-assisted development to increase engineering velocity and output quality.

• Experience with event streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka, Kafka Connect, or similar) is strongly preferred. You don't need to be an expert on day one, but familiarity with streaming concepts (topics, partitions, consumer groups, schema evolution) will help you hit the ground running.

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), IaC tools (e.g., Terraform), and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes) is a plus; we're happy to build these skills on the job.

Base Pay Range:

This role may also be eligible for Equity Compensation and/or Bonus Incentive Compensation. Procore is committed to offering competitive, fair, and commensurate compensation. Actual compensation will be based on a candidate's job-related skills, experience, education or training, and location.

A criminal history may have a direct, adverse, and negative relationship on the following job duties, potentially resulting in the withdrawal of the conditional offer of employment: 1. appropriately managing, accessing, and handling confidential information including proprietary and trade secret information, as well as accessing Procore's information technology systems and platforms; 2. interacting with and occasionally having unsupervised contact with internal/external customers, stakeholders, and/or colleagues; and 3. exercising sound judgment.
