About the Role
Chronosphere, a Palo Alto Networks company, is seeking Principal Engineers to drive the future of their observability platform. This role offers the opportunity to solve complex distributed systems problems at scale, build developer velocity tools, and define platform standards. The position is remote, allowing for collaboration across geographies.
Responsibilities
- Solve complex distributed systems problems at the largest scales in the world.
- Scale production infrastructure and architecture globally using Kubernetes, GCP, and AWS.
- Use Go to build and operate highly scalable, resilient backend services.
- Develop internal tools to monitor, alert, and optimize the live production footprint.
- Design high-scale developer tooling, dynamic testing environments, and CI/CD pipelines in a 100% modern, containerized microservices ecosystem.
- Define and manage entire ephemeral environments using declarative IaC (Terraform).
- Identify and eliminate systemic bottlenecks across the development lifecycle through architectural changes, advanced tooling, and near-real-time telemetry processing.
- Own massive technical initiatives from inception to delivery, balancing feature velocity with long-term technical debt.
- Define platform standards and reference architectures that span a 1–3 year horizon.
- Act as the 'glue' across the organization, consulting on infrastructure best practices and up-leveling the team through dedicated mentorship.
Requirements
- 8–10+ years of relevant experience in high-scale infrastructure, production engineering, systems architecture, or developer platform roles.
- 7 + years of experience in at least one backend language (e.g., Go, Python, Java, C++, C#, or Rust).
- 5 + years of deep expertise building and debugging systems that deal with CAP theorem trade-offs, eventual consistency, and distributed tracing.
- Robust experience working with AWS or GCP and navigating Kubernetes clusters.
- Deep knowledge of Linux internals, process management, resource isolation, and networking protocols (OSI model, load balancing, service meshes).
- Proven track record of estimating complex work effectively, debugging distributed architectures via logs/traces, and proactively identifying design edge cases.
