Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Own things end-to-end. Pick up a problem, design the solution, ship it to production, and keep it running. No throwing code over a wall.
• Build core platform components — the kind of infrastructure that hundreds of services depend on. Your code matters at a foundational level.
• Design for elegance under complexity. Workflows, automation, developer tooling — you'll tackle problems where the naive solution doesn't survive contact with production.
• Collaborate across teams on technical designs. We value well-argued RFCs and design docs over top-down mandates.
• Contribute upstream. When open-source tools don't do what we need, we fix them and send PRs — not fork and forget.

Who can apply

• 8+ years building and operating systems in SaaS/PaaS environments at enterprise scale
• Deep Kubernetes expertise — not just kubectl apply, but understanding schedulers, controllers, CRDs, networking, and the broader ecosystem
• Strong cloud fundamentals (AWS preferred, Azure/GCP also welcome) — you know the difference between what the cloud gives you and what you have to build yourself
• Proficiency in Go, Java, or Python with hands-on backend service development (Go is our primary language — bonus if it's yours too)
• Solid distributed systems intuition — you think about failure modes, consistency trade-offs, and what happens at 3 AM when traffic spikes
• Container-native mindset — Docker and friends are second nature, not something you Google each time
• Bonus Points If You...
• Have battle-tested Terraform or CloudFormation chops and opinions about infrastructure-as-code done right
• Write shell scripts without apology when that's the right tool for the job
• Are a polyglot who picks languages based on the problem, not habit, and can articulate the trade-offs
