Requirements
  • Significant experience as a software architect and lead developer building scalable, real-time, distributed systems.
  • Significant hands-on experience with Go and unit testing.
  • Working knowledge of the networking stack with a desire to deepen it.
  • Experience leading cross-team API contract work and with cloud development, containerization, and virtualization.
  • Solid CI/CD experience, plus some data-plane programming with eBPF or XDP.
  • A proven record of sweeping improvements in stability, performance, and scalability across business-critical systems and of automating delivery from development through ongoing production operation.
Nice to have
  • Building robust, distributed, high-demand systems with gRPC.
  • Experience developing firewall, DNS, or network monitoring systems.
  • Working knowledge of Temporal and Kafka.
  • A B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
Benefits and work setup
  • Remote role with a base salary range of $167,200 to $209,000, plus potential bonus and equity participation.
  • Conference and training reimbursement, broad online learning access, and flexible time off.
