Staff Software Engineer - Platform Debug

We are seeking a skilled Software Platform Debug Engineer to design, develop, and debug low-level software that enables and supports debug visibility on high-performance server platforms. These debug features include both dynamic debug (e.g., peek/poke) and post-mortem (crash) capabilities. In this role, you will work close to the hardware/software boundary, solving complex system-level issues across firmware, operating systems, platform software, and host tooling.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, scalable solutions that meet demanding performance and reliability requirements.

This position is suitable for Senior- or Staff-level engineers who demonstrate strong technical ownership, deep systems knowledge, and the ability to influence technical direction. This is a replacement headcount.

* Design, develop, and maintain software to support debug functionality across multiple system layers

* Troubleshoot and resolve highly complex software defects across integrated components

* Analyze system behavior by gathering and correlating information across modules, subsystems, and interfaces

* Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software teams to identify root causes and deliver effective fixes

* Communicate progress, risks, and mitigation strategies clearly to project leads and stakeholders

* Identify design or implementation gaps and proactively drive solutions

* Contribute technical input and solution strategies during design and debug reviews

* Develop and execute unit and integration tests to ensure stability and functional correctness

* Perform thorough code reviews and provide constructive technical feedback

* Manage priorities, timelines, and deliverables for small- to medium-sized initiatives
