Details

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with cloud networking and distributed systems at SaaS or similar scale, with expertise in architecting and debugging across the stack.
• Deep knowledge of internet architecture and modern web services (DNS, CDN, WAF, Load Balancing, Ingress, Service Mesh), and demonstrated ability to deliver reliable, observable, and secure infrastructure.
• Proficiency in Go (or similar languages) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), with a track record of building automation and platform tooling.
• Experience building reliable, observable platforms, defining SLIs/SLOs, and establishing these practices as team standards.
• On-call experience, including incident resolution and driving architectural improvements through postmortems and technical decision-making.
• Consistently apply a security-first approach, implementing least-privilege policies, ensuring encryption in transit, and evaluating attack surfaces as part of standard design practices.
• Experience designing self-service network abstractions (DNS provisioning, ingress configuration, network policy tooling) that empower internal teams.
• Experience with CDN, edge protection (cache strategy, WAF, origin shielding), VPNs, and wide-area connectivity in cloud environments.
• Familiarity with tools like Envoy, Linkerd, Cloudfront, or Cloudflare.
• Open source contributions and experience applying compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001) to networking and policy as code.
• Deliver network stack projects end-to-end (service mesh, DNS, ingress/egress, CDN, edge protection, L4/L7 policy). Shape technical vision, execute delivery, and maintain operability.
• Integrate networking into self-service platforms, streamlining workflows and enabling engineering teams to operate independently.
• Participate in the on-call rotation, driving incident resolution and continuous improvement through postmortem analysis.
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners in security, platform, and product engineering. Translate their needs into well-defined work and keep them informed about priorities, progress, and risks.
• Foster a collaborative team culture by conducting design reviews, sharing knowledge, and mentoring. We value engineers who teach as much as they build.
• Work remotely from anywhere in the US or Canada, with periodic team meetups for planning and connection. We prioritize asynchronous communication to respect your time and focus.
