Software Engineer, Edge

Own edge networking configuration: routing, WAF policy, rate limiting, certificate management, driving toward a model where engineers ship traffic changes without waiting on infra. We use Cloudflare extensively but not exclusively.

Evolve the ingress layer (controllers, lifecycle, policy, Ingress API) so inbound traffic is reliable, observable, and self-service

Manage DNS across internal clusters and external zones so name resolution is invisible by design

Build network-layer observability: latency, error rates, routing visibility that surfaces problems before they become incidents

Support Persona's regional expansion by extending networking into new geographies and ensuring regional expansion is scalable, performant, and maintainable

Help define the team's practices and technical standards. This team is new, and you'll shape what it looks like — from SDLC, usage of AI tooling, static analysis, chaos engineering, and usage of simulation. We are serious about encoding top-quality engineering practices into the team’s DNA — and you will be core to their development.

Experience building and shipping production services in a polyglot environment (Go, TypeScript, or similar). You should enjoy the pros/cons of different languages — a zealot is unlikely to enjoy working in our garden

Experience diagnosing production issues at the network layer, including understanding how proxies and load balancers can obscure the real source of a problem. You should enjoy deep, methodical investigatory work — but also have the chops to quickly take on triage and solutioning should an emergency arise

Kubernetes networking in practice: ingress controllers, DNS, network policies, not just running workloads

Manages infrastructure as code in practice, not just in principle. Change safety and governance should be a feature not a bug — and you enjoy designing those processes so they appear low-friction while having real teeth

Experience building internal platforms or tools with a track record of driving adoption across engineering teams. We love OSS and hope to continue contributing, but we also need to unblock ourselves today when external tools fall short.

Cloudflare (Workers, WAF, Access, or Tunnel)

Istio or another service mesh in a multi-cluster environment

GKE or managed Kubernetes at scale

Ruby or Rails (we integrate with Ruby systems)

A “hacker’s heart” for prototyping new ideas and ways of operating — even though experimentation might not progress beyond the toy phase
