  2. Deep-dive into Linux systems programming, crafting performance-optimized solutions for high reliability and scalability.
  3. Collaborate with application and infrastructure teams to ensure secure and efficient infrastructure operations.
  4. Develop and maintain backend services using Python, Go, and/or C++ with best practices and design patterns.
  5. Apply SRE principles to monitor, troubleshoot, and proactively improve infrastructure performance and stability.
  6. Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering a collaborative and learning environment.
  7. Lead by example by providing code reviews and evangelizing engineering excellence across the Software Platform team.
  8. Stay abreast of the latest trends and technologies in networking, systems programming, and automation.

Qualifications:

  1. 7+ years of experience in infrastructure software development, SRE, production engineering, network engineering, and/or backend service development.
  2. Experience in building and shipping high quality, scalable infrastructure.
  3. 5+ years of experience in C++ or Go as well as a scripting language like Python.
  4. In-depth expertise in Linux systems programming (especially around bootloaders, connectivity, memory management, filesystems, kernel, and drivers) and network protocols (IPSec, TCP/IP, routing, DNS, etc.).
  5. Experience with infrastructure automation tools like Ansible, Terraform, or Puppet.
  6. Strong understanding of software delivery pipelines and CI/CQ best practices.
  7. Fantastic communication, collaboration, and leadership skills.
  8. A passion for problem-solving, innovation, and continuous learning.
  9. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.

Bonus Points:

  1. In-depth understanding of build systems like Bazel & release best practices.
  2. Experience in implementing security focused infrastructure features.
  3. Experience with containerization technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, and other container orchestration tools.
  4. Work on debugging, tracing, monitoring, and logging tooling.

What we offer:

  1. Opportunity to work in a green field environment.
  2. Challenging projects with a high degree of impact.
  3. Dynamic startup environment.
  4. Collaborative and supportive team environment where you can learn, grow, lead, and mentor.
