Upscale builds next-generation AI network infrastructure with scalable systems, intelligent automation, and seamless connectivity.
About the role
You will set the multi-year technical vision for the platform — and prove it works by building it. This is not a strategy-only role. You perform competency analysis across the architecture, build working prototypes to validate direction, write production code, and lead cross-functional delivery. You are accountable to stakeholders for the quality and viability of what ships. You work hand-in-hand with Product to ensure the technical vision maps to customer value.
What they're looking for
- 18–20+ years building and operating distributed systems serving enterprise customers across cloud and on-prem environments
- Deep proficiency in Go (or comparable systems language) with strong distributed systems fundamentals
- Significant experience designing observability and telemetry platforms: collection agents, stream processing, time-series databases, alerting pipelines, and real-time dashboards at scale
- Production experience with microservices architecture: gRPC, Protocol Buffers, spec-first REST APIs (OpenAPI)
- Hands-on with multiple storage paradigms: relational, graph, time-series, key-value, and streaming
- Track record building multi-tenant platforms with tenant isolation, RBAC, and identity federation
