Full Job Posting

What you'll do

  • Take product ideas from 0 to 1: scope, design, build, ship, and own them in production.
  • Build and maintain large-scale distributed systems for multi-cloud networking — resiliency, scale, and correctness under real customer load.
  • Use AI as a core part of how you ship and operate: agentic workflows, LLM-powered dev loops, and AI tooling to move 5–10x faster than a traditional engineer. We expect you to leverage AI, not just tolerate it.
  • Design, build, and maintain APIs and microservices (Java/Spring and Go, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes) — treating the stack as a means to ship and sustain product, not the job itself.
  • Operate what you build: customer escalations, on-call, telemetry, and bug fixes are part of ownership, not a separate team's problem. You'll also pick up and maintain existing services in your area.
  • What we're looking for
  • B.S./M.S. (or equivalent) in CS, EE, or a related field, plus 4 - 7 years of software engineering experience.
  • A builder's instinct: you've taken something from zero to shipped before — and you're also comfortable inheriting, understanding, and improving an existing codebase.
  • AI-native workflow: you use tools like Claude Code / Cursor / Copilot daily and have a point of view on how to ship faster with AI.
  • Strong CS fundamentals and hands-on Java/Spring and Go, distributed systems, REST API design, DB schema design,
  • multithreading.
  • Linux/kernel fluency and comfort with container + Kubernetes deployment.
  • Security-first thinking for distributed, multi-tenant systems.
  • Product and customer empathy — you care about why a feature matters, not just how to build it.
  • Networking background (BGP, SD-WAN, overlays, cloud networking) is a strong plus.
  • Team player: able to work across teams of varying sizes that may be geographically distributed.
  • Ability to multitask and support multiple concurrent projects.
