• Develop and maintain internal APIs and platform components used across engineering teams

• Drive architectural initiatives such as:

  • Service architecture improvements

  • Event-driven systems and messaging foundations

  • Platform refactoring and modernization

• Build abstractions that reduce operational complexity and cognitive load for developers

• Improve platform scalability, reliability, and performance

• Write production-grade code in Go and related backend technologies

• Collaborate with distributed systems, infrastructure, and feature teams

• Participate in incident response when needed, focusing on long-term reliability improvements

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience in:

  • Platform engineering

  • Infrastructure or distributed systems

• Strong experience with Go and/or Python

• Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native architectures

• Solid understanding of:

  • Distributed systems

  • API design

  • Production systems at scale

• Experience building internal platforms or services used by other engineering teams

• Strong collaboration and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with:

  • gRPC or service-to-service communication frameworks

  • Event-driven architectures or pub/sub systems

  • Control-plane or orchestration systems

• Familiarity with Kubernetes operators or cluster-level abstractions

• Background in SaaS, database, or infrastructure products

• Experience with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry

• Contributions to open-source projects

Whats Offered

• Competitive compensation and benefits

• Fully remote work environment

• High-impact role with strong ownership and architectural influence

• Opportunity to work on core infrastructure powering modern AI systems

• Clear growth path toward Staff Engineer or Architecture roles
