Job Description

Welcome to the Core Services team at Nextdoor, where we operate critical high throughput services that power communities worldwide. As a Distributed Systems Architect, you will work in a large-scale distributed system environment, identifying high leverage opportunities to increase performance, scalability, and resilience.

The primary focus of the team is an iterative investment in a distributed, globally replicated graph store with high availability tiered caching. This datastore will provide predictable performance and enable product engineers to move quickly without thinking about RDBMS database performance/migrations. With your expertise, you will participate in in-person events, trainings, off-sites, volunteer days, and other team building exercises; You will also build in-person relationships with team members and contribute to the KIND culture that Nextdoor values.

We are looking for a creative, empathetic collaboration and optimism to solve difficult problems in an environment without known solutions. Your experience in operating or building distributed datastores, a deep understanding of distributed systems fundamentals, and expertise in a language such as Golang, Rust, C++, Java, or Python will be valuable assets to our team. Additionally, experience with Kubernetes, Istio, and other container orchestration primitives would be beneficial.

In this role, you will work closely with product engineers to understand their pain points and identify high leverage opportunities to improve developer experience and scalability of our systems. Our goal is for the infrastructure to do the heavy lifting so that our product engineers can spend every minute of their time focused on their product areas and metrics.

What We Offer

A competitive salary range of $153,000 - $212,000 per year, based on your level of proficiency and qualifications. Additionally, you will receive a meaningful equity grant with equal quarterly vesting, starting within the first 3 months of your employment. Our benefits package includes a choice between great health plans, with 100% coverage of personal monthly premiums for health, dental, and vision, and a OneMedical membership for concierge care. At Nextdoor, we empower our employees to build stronger local communities and offer a warm and inclusive work environment that embraces a hybrid employment experience.
