About the Role

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will take end-to-end ownership of the reliability and performance of our Kubernetes-based data platform. You will architect and operate highly available, multi-region systems designed to meet rigorous uptime and latency standards. Your day-to-day work will span scaling infrastructure, optimizing deployment pipelines, and strengthening our security posture — while playing a central role in building, testing, and managing scalable systems that are production-ready from day one.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and operate highly available, multi-region systems.
  • Scale infrastructure.
  • Optimize deployment pipelines.
  • Strengthen security posture.
  • Build, test, and manage scalable, production-ready systems.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of hands-on experience in Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or building highly scalable distributed systems.
  • Strong foundation in software design, development, and algorithmic problem-solving.
  • Familiarity operating data platforms or data-intensive workloads, including distributed processing and streaming frameworks such as Spark, Airflow, Kafka, or Flink.
  • Deep expertise in Kubernetes cluster design, day-to-day operations, and production troubleshooting across containerized service environments.
  • Proven track record building and operating robust CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Argo CD and GitHub Actions.
  • Demonstrated experience owning mission-critical systems with high availability requirements (≥99.99% uptime), including incident response, SLI/SLO/SLA definition, error budget management, and blameless postmortems.
  • Hands-on experience developing large-scale distributed systems, databases, and backend APIs.
  • Practical experience designing and operating geo-replicated, active-active, multi-region systems — with a solid grasp of traffic routing, failover strategies, and data consistency tradeoffs.
  • Strong experience building and owning full-stack observability solutions, including metrics, logging, and distributed tracing using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
  • Proficiency with IaC tooling such as Helm, Terraform, or Pulumi, and experience with automated environment provisioning.
  • Strong command of system performance tuning, capacity planning, and resource optimization in distributed environments.
  • Hands-on experience applying security best practices in cloud-native settings, including secrets management, network policies, and vulnerability scanning.
  • Experience working within compliance-driven environments and a working knowledge of regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, or SOX.
  • Background in designing and building internal developer platforms or self-service infrastructure tooling that empowers engineering teams to move faster and operate independently.
  • Ability to bring diversified experiences to the team.
  • Curiosity about continuously improving system resilience, security, and operations.
  • Expertise in diagnosing and solving complex distributed systems problems.
  • Must be a U.S. person (U.S. citizen or national, U.S. lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee) or eligible to access export controlled information without authorization, or eligible and likely to obtain required authorization.
