Senior Software Engineer, Cloud

A strong backend/platform engineer with deep, hands-on experience operating and evolving Kubernetes infrastructure;

You've designed and run systems for mission-critical, high-throughput environments (millions of requests per second), and you're at home troubleshooting them under pressure;

You know service design and distributed systems well, including networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS, proxies) and microservices communication;

You're comfortable working inside complex legacy systems while building their replacement. Experience with.NET is a real plus for understanding and refactoring our current router; familiarity with Service Mesh (Istio, Envoy) is highly desired;

You treat ambiguous, high-stakes problems as yours to make precise, and you weigh decisions by their effect on the whole system, not just your component;

You use AI fluently in your own work and have a clear point of view on when it helps and when it doesn't;

You communicate and negotiate technical trade-offs clearly across teams, and with non-technical partners;

Advanced English for our global, remote-first environment.

Our process is built for how engineers actually work in 2026: a take-home you complete with the AI tools you'd really use, followed by a live session where we dig into your decisions and solve a problem together. We're far more interested in how you think than in whether you memorized an algorithm.
