Lead the design and development of next-generation microservices and distributed systems with a strong emphasis on performance optimization and cost efficiency.
-
Define and evolve system architecture strategies, ensuring alignment with long-term business and technical goals.
-
Tackle complex challenges in job orchestration, resource optimization, and self-healing infrastructure with a focus on automation and resilience.
-
Build and scale end-to-end observability solutions including metrics pipelines, alerting frameworks, and telemetry storage.
-
Leverage data analytics and predictive modeling to proactively improve system behavior and reliability.
-
Provide technical leadership and mentorship across teams while collaborating cross-functionally with product, infrastructure, and operations groups to drive strategic initiatives and foster a culture of engineering excellence and continuous improvement.
-
Design and operate massively scalable systems—handling thousands to millions of jobs and servers—using deep expertise in Kubernetes and public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
What we need to see:
-
Demonstrated experience in building and scaling large-scale cloud infrastructure platforms.
-
10 years of proven experience in software engineering with a strong track record of delivering enterprise-grade cloud solutions; BS/MS/Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
-
Deep expertise in microservices architecture, with hands-on experience designing and developing scalable, distributed systems.
-
Extensive experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), including scaling infrastructure to support thousands to millions of jobs and servers.
-
Strong Kubernetes expertise, including container orchestration and cloud-native tooling for deployment, monitoring, and management.
-
Proficiency in both SQL (e.g., MySQL) and NoSQL (e.g., Elasticsearch) databases, with a solid understanding of scalable storage systems.
-
Hands-on experience with Web Services (SOAP/REST), messaging systems like Kafka, and CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, Git, and Perforce.
-
Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to lead and collaborate effectively in a globally distributed, multi-time-zone environment.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
-
Proven ability to deconstruct complex systems into modular, scalable components with measurable outcomes and scale systems to handle millions of concurrent jobs and global workloads.
-
Expertise in optimizing cloud infrastructure for performance, reliability, and cost.
-
Solid collaborative and interpersonal skills, specifically a proven ability to effectively guide and influence within a dynamic environment
-
Relentless drive to push the boundaries of system performance and reliability.

Team-dependent experience; sink-or-swim culture that rewards high performers but can be overwhelming. No politics, flat structure, but demanding workload with some teams requiring evening/weekend work.
