## About the role

We're looking for someone who is an excellent software engineer and an excellent cloud engineer. You can design and build a substantial backend feature in Go, work through the architecture it needs, deploy it safely, and debug it when production behaves differently from the test environment.

## What they're looking for

- You need substantial software engineering experience and deep production infrastructure experience, plus extensive use of AI in your engineering work
- Strong Go and software engineering fundamentals. You've designed, shipped, and maintained production services, not only infrastructure scripts. You're comfortable with concurrency, APIs, testing, performance work, and debugging distributed systems
- Deep AWS experience. You've made and lived with cloud architecture decisions involving networking, IAM, compute, storage, and managed databases. You understand failure modes, isolation boundaries, and cost
- Extensive Terraform experience. You've designed reusable modules and managed production infrastructure through code, including state, environment separation, drift, and safe changes to existing resources
- Strong operational instincts. You're comfortable with Linux, Docker, networking, and troubleshooting under pressure. You've taken responsibility for systems after launch and made them easier to operate over time
- Experience with production data and observability systems. You can operate and troubleshoot PostgreSQL or comparable SQL databases, object storage such as S3, and metrics, logs, and traces using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry
