Who you are
We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
Minimum requirements
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a demonstrated track record of designing and shipping production infrastructure systems of significant scale and complexity.
- Proven ability to lead large, ambiguous infrastructure projects end-to-end - from technical design through delivery - including managing cross-team dependencies and coordinating migrations across many consuming teams.
- Deep expertise in Linux systems, including boot and initialization, systems, processes, networking, filesystems, storage, packages, and production debugging.
Strong foundations in cloud compute infrastructure, including machine images, virtual machines, autoscaling fleets, launch configuration, block storage, IAM, health evaluation, and multi-region operation in AWS, Azure, or an equivalent environment.
- Experience designing or operating fleet-scale image, host-management, configuration-management, or infrastructure-provisioning systems.
- Experience with safe infrastructure rollout practices, including automated validation, canarying, progressive rollout, health evaluation, rollback, and blast-radius containment.
- Strong background in service reliability and operational excellence: demonstrated ability to lead incident response, reduce toil, and build systems that are reliable, debuggable, and maintainable by a team.
- Track record of broad technical impact across multiple large systems: fluency across a complex codebase, force- multiplier effect through code review and mentorship, and the ability to set technical direction for a team rather than just execute within it.
