📋 Description

• Solve complex distributed systems problems at the largest scales in the world. • Scale our production infrastructure and architecture globally using Kubernetes, GCP, and AWS. • Use Go to build and operate highly scalable, resilient backend services. • Develop the internal tools necessary to monitor, alert, and optimize our live production footprint. • Architect & Build: Design high-scale developer tooling, dynamic testing environments, and CI/CD pipelines in a 100% modern, containerized microservices ecosystem. • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Treat infrastructure as a first-class citizen by defining and managing entire ephemeral environments using declarative IaC (Terraform). • Identify and eliminate systemic bottlenecks across the development lifecycle through architectural changes, advanced tooling, and near-real-time telemetry processing.

🎯 Requirements

• 8–10+ years of relevant experience in high-scale infrastructure, production engineering, systems architecture, or developer platform roles. • 7 + years of experience in at least one backend language (e.g., Go, Python, Java, C++, C#, or Rust). • 5 + years of deep expertise building and debugging systems that deal with CAP theorem trade-offs, eventual consistency, and distributed tracing. • Robust experience working with AWS or GCP and navigating Kubernetes clusters. • Deep knowledge of Linux internals, process management, resource isolation, and networking protocols (OSI model, load balancing, service meshes). • A proven track record of estimating complex work effectively, debugging distributed architectures via logs/traces, and proactively identifying design edge cases.

🏖️ Benefits

• Employee benefits include health insurance, retirement plans, flexible work arrangements, and professional development opportunities.
