This role requires a deep understanding of cloud computing, programming languages, and distributed systems. The engineer will work collaboratively across teams to enhance platform reliability and drive new features. The position emphasizes mentorship and best practices in Kubernetes and infrastructure automation.

  • Extensive experience with Golang and C++ and developing/scaling backend services and microservices.
  • Experience with container orchestration, containers, and Infrastructure as Code.
  • Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure, distributed system design, and Kubernetes-native patterns.
  • Proven experience in developing and scaling RESTful, gRPC, MCP APIs and backend services.
  • Strong self-initiative, interpersonal skills, adaptability, and experience writing testable, maintainable, performant codebases.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and scale distributed cloud-based systems for a high-performance SaaS/PaaS platform.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to drive new features, optimize existing systems, and enhance overall platform reliability.
  • Influence the technology stack, architecture, and development methodology.
  • Drive automation, monitoring, and performance tuning.
  • Mentor team members and drive best practices in Kubernetes, observability, and infrastructure automation.

Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
