what you’ll do:
design and ship core pieces of our deployment engine
evolve our infra primitives and developer-facing APIs
work closely with customers and open-source community to win their workloads and fold learnings back into the product
write crisp docs
must have:
systems engineering
you've worked extensively in a systems language (Rust, C++, Java, Go, etc.)
you think in failure modes (timeouts, retries, idempotency, partial progress) and you design for recovery
you methodically work through problems until you've found the root cause
cloud engineering
cloud infra (s3, iam, networking, storage, postgres, kubernetes, quotas)
distributed systems
ai native
you know how to ai coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex to move faster without shipping bugs
typist - you can write well in English and explain complex ideas simply
human - you build trust and admit what you don’t know
nice to have:
multiple years of experience writing Rust
you've maintained or operated serious systems in production, at scale
additional domain expertise in:
security (multi-tenant systems, isolation, least privilege, sandboxing)
k8s internals + cloud sharp edges (gke/eks/aks, disks + networking, load balancers, observability)
