Job description

Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer on our Engineering team, you will contribute to building our next-generation cloud platform using open-source software (OSS) and a range of our internal services, as well as customer-facing gateways.

The ideal candidate has deep, hands-on expertise in Kubernetes and platform development with Go, treating Kubernetes as a programmable framework. They build out-of-tree control-plane extensions, such as controllers and API aggregation, and publish clear, versioned gRPC / REST APIs for reliable multi-tenant services. It is a great advantage for candidates to be familiar with the CNCF landscape and to be able to discuss the value and trade-offs of adopting these tools.

You will become a core member of our PaaS team : turning our IaaS foundation into product-grade, self-service platform services. You'll help shape service architecture, developer experience, observability, and the reliability practices that keep our platform fast, secure, and scalable.

Responsibilities :

Build stable and scalable architecture, understanding the tradeoffs between consistency, durability, and costs to build solutions to meet the evolution of a rapidly growing platform.
Design and ship PaaS services from inception through production launch.
Operate and support services in production.

Skills :

57 years of professional software engineering experience, including 3+ years of production Go.

Strong computer science fundamentals and a passion for learning.

Practical experience building on Kubernetes.

Understanding of performance, security, and reliability in complex distributed systems.

Ownership mindset ("you build it, you own it") : comfort with DevOps practices, production operations, and hands-on troubleshooting.

Nice to have :

Kubernetes component development experience and knowledge of k8s internals beyond controllers.

Networking background (SDN, BGP / routing, L4L7, load balancing) and solid Linux fundamentals.

Hands-on service lifecycle & delivery : GitOps (Argo CD / Flux), Helm / Kustomize, CI / CD (e.g., GitHub Actions / GitLab CI).

What do we have to offer you?

Hybrid office / remote-working practices

Competitive salary and equity

Learning and Development budget

24 days PTO

Become part of the founding team

Real career opportunities with the opportunity to grow quickly in seniority as the team scales

Disrupting the industry and being part of the Web3 revolution

Work colleagues who are as smart, hardworking, and driven with backgrounds from FAANG companies and leading universities

Transparent company culture, open to feedback, where you can wear multiple hats at once
