The ideal candidate is a proven distributed systems expert who remains actively involved in software development while influencing long-term technical direction.

• Design and develop distributed platform services supporting cloud, edge, and hybrid infrastructure environments.
• Build scalable control plane services, microservices, and APIs using Go, gRPC, Protocol Buffers, and Kubernetes-based architectures.
• Design observability and telemetry platforms utilizing Open Telemetry, Kafka, Click House, Victoria Metrics, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar technologies.
• Develop platform automation, orchestration, and AI‑assisted operational workflows to improve provisioning, deployment, lifecycle management, and infrastructure health.
• Evaluate new technologies through hands‑on prototyping, drive architectural decisions, perform code reviews, and collaborate across Product, Customer Engineering, and Software Engineering teams.

• 18+ years designing and building large-scale distributed systems for enterprise, cloud, or infrastructure platforms.
• Expert‑level Go development (or comparable systems programming language such as Rust or C++) with deep knowledge of distributed systems architecture.
• Strong experience building microservices, gRPC services, REST APIs, Kubernetes‑based platforms, and hybrid cloud/on‑prem infrastructure.
• Experience with Open Telemetry, telemetry pipelines, stream processing (Kafka), and large‑scale observability platforms.
• Hands‑on experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, Click House, ArangoDB, graph databases, time‑series databases, and distributed data architectures.
• Experience designing secure multi‑tenant platforms including RBAC, authentication, authorization, and enterprise identity integration.
• Demonstrated ability to prototype complex technical solutions, evaluate architectural tradeoffs, and deliver production‑quality software.
• Excellent communication skills with experience presenting technical designs to engineering leadership, executives, and cross‑functional stakeholders.

• Experience with AI infrastructure, autonomous operations, LLM agents, Lang Graph, Auto Gen, MCP, or AI‑driven workflow automation.
• Background in network automation, infrastructure management, Open Config, gNMI, data center networking, or large‑scale infrastructure orchestration.
• Experience with zero‑touch provisioning, device lifecycle management, edge computing, or control plane/data plane architectures.
• Active open‑source contributions or recognized technical leadership within distributed systems or cloud infrastructure communities.
