- Extensive experience with Containerisation and Orchestration technologies (e.g. Docker and Kubernetes).
- Comfortable working with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, CDK).
- Experience with event-driven architectures, message queues, or async workflows (for example, using Kafka).
- A track record of performance tuning across cloud services, databases, and compute layers.
- Eager to learn new tools, languages, and technologies as needed.
- A thoughtful communicator who values clarity and simplicity and is comfortable working in a fast-paced startup and navigating ambiguity.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with incomplete information.
- Curious, practical, and eager to work across layers of the stack when needed.
- Proactive thinking about failure modes and experience implementing disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
- Experience with deploying infrastructure to multiple environments (SaaS, on-prem) and how to build resilient systems (advantageous).
- Familiarity with modern observability practices (logs, metrics, tracing) (advantageous).
- Experience working in an early stage startup (advantageous).
- Prior experience building developer tooling or security products (advantageous).
- Hands-on experience with OpenSearch or Elasticsearch at scale (advantageous).
- Previous experience building platform teams or working on internal developer platforms (advantageous).
Responsibilities
- Design and implement infrastructure systems that scale reliably and securely across multiple cloud environments (AWS, Azure, OCI etc.) and contexts (SaaS, on prem).
- Tune and optimize cloud services across compute, storage, networking, and observability to drive performance, reliability and maintainability of core services.
- Develop core services, written in TypeScript, Kotlin and Go, to support unique deployment and infrastructure requirements.
- Support large-scale systems with event driven architectures.
- Own problems end-to-end—from design through deployment to production support.
- Navigate ambiguity and help define how we build as much as what we build.
- Partner closely with other engineers, AI researchers and Security researchers to enable high-quality, high-velocity product development.
- Design for resilience by implementing disaster recovery and business continuity strategies that ensure uptime, even when things break.
- Improve how we build, deploy, and monitor services at scale.
