## About the role

This is a senior, deeply hands-on role. You’ll own significant components, drive projects from design through production adoption, and shape the platform’s technical direction while helping teammates grow. Concretely, you will: Turn ambiguous infrastructure problems into clear designs and working systems — contributing to RFCs and architecture reviews, and driving your projects to done.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years of hands-on software engineering in backend, infrastructure, or platform engineering, though we weight real depth and impact more heavily than exact tenure
- Strong software engineering in Go or a similar language: design, testing, debugging, review, and long-term maintainability
- A track record of building, shipping, and operating cloud services or infrastructure in production
- Deep expertise in at least one of Kubernetes, networking, cloud platforms, reliability engineering, or developer platforms — plus solid Linux and production-ops fundamentals
- Experience shaping technical direction and working effectively across teams
- Clear written and verbal communication in a remote environment (RFCs, design docs, incident writeups)
