About The Team:
We have grown rapidly to where we are today, serving billions of HTTP requests daily. We achieved this scale by writing scale-sensitive components in languages like Rust and Go. This potent combination of high performance with efficient resource utilization has given us an incredible competitive edge.
We are seeking a Platform Engineer to join our team and help us scale by managing and developing the next generation of our infrastructure. While we currently maintain a 99.95% uptime, we are dedicated to sustaining this level of reliability as our product and business expand.
In this role, your core responsibility will be software engineering with a specialized focus on operations, infrastructure, and automation. You will develop the systems that power our product, enhance internal services, and provide architectural guidance to product teams to ensure optimal service operability.
You will leverage Kubernetes to automate data center functions and create services that streamline database operations. A major aspect of this position is gaining a deep enough understanding of our systems to move beyond manual intervention and build sophisticated software solutions that fully automate these processes.
What You'll Do:
- Optimize and Elevate Performance: Identify bottlenecks in our systems and unleash your creativity to introduce cutting-edge optimizations. You'll have the chance to improve the performance of our databases and evaluate innovative storage technologies that will elevate our infrastructure to new heights.
- Forge Infrastructure as Code: Take the lead in setting up robust infrastructure and configuration-as-code with Kubernetes and Terraform. You'll be at the forefront of shaping our foundational architecture, ensuring it’s both resilient and scalable.
- Drive Observability and Monitoring: Establish and maintain a state-of-the-art observability and monitoring stack. Your insights will enable us to stay ahead of potential issues, ensuring our services remain reliable and performant.
- Craft the Golden Path for CI/CD: Define and implement best practices for continuous integration and deployment. Your work will streamline the deployment process for our engineering teams, allowing them to roll out new features swiftly and safely.
- Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with engineering teams to architect highly scalable, observable services. Your collaboration will be essential in creating a cohesive and efficient development environment.
- Be a Key Player in Incident Response: Join the on-call rotation and play a crucial role in maintaining our systems' health. Your expertise will be vital in troubleshooting and resolving issues, ensuring our services always meet the highest standards.
What you'll bring:
- At least 8 years of platform experience
- Experience operating reliable production systems at scale
- Knowledge of Linux systems internals
- Desire and ability to automate tasks
- Experience managing PostgreSQL for high-scale throughput systems, or similar experience with other relevant SQL datastores.
- Operational experience deploying and managing Kubernetes
- Experience working with Cloud Providers (AWS/GCP/Azure)
We value a variety of experiences, so these are not required. It would be an added bonus if you have experience in any of the following:
- Recently writing Go and/or Rust
- Working with ScyllaDB
- Redis, Kafka, etcd, Clickhouse, Kubernetes
