Develop and maintain cloud-native services running in AWS and GCP, with a focus on reliability, security, and scalability.
Contribute to frontend applications and platform management experiences using TypeScript and React when needed.
Investigate and troubleshoot issues across application code, cloud infrastructure, and networking components.
Improve automated testing, monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational tooling. Participate in technical discussions, design reviews, and code reviews while collaborating with Product, Infrastructure, Security, and other engineering teams.
Participate in an on-call rotation after onboarding, helping maintain production reliability and address recurring issues.

Experience building backend services and REST APIs using Go or a comparable backend language, with the ability to become productive in Go.
Strong software engineering fundamentals, including debugging, automated testing, and writing clean, maintainable code.
Familiarity with distributed systems, microservices, and service-to-service communication.
Understanding of networking fundamentals, including HTTP/TLS, TCP/IP, DNS, and client-server communication.
Experience developing or deploying applications in cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or similar platforms.
Experience with Git, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and modern software
development practices.
Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to independently deliver
scoped work while collaborating with a team.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with TypeScript, React, or similar frontend technologies.
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, or other cloud-native tooling.
Familiarity with cloud networking, private connectivity, proxies, gateways, or secure tunneling.
Exposure to event-driven architectures and messaging technologies such as Kafka, Redis, or Pub/Sub.
