Software Engineer II

• Own and maintain Rust microservices that are critical to the platform (IAM, billing, cloud service controllers, etc.).
• Build and maintain low-level HTTP/gRPC proxies used by these microservices.
• Work with Kubernetes every day: deploy, debug, and operate services in production.
• Design and implement reliable end-to-end tests for our microservices and proxy flows.
• Keep services healthy in production: logs, metrics, alerts, incident handling, continuous improvement.
• Implement and maintain mTLS and other encryption/security mechanisms across services and proxies (certs, TLS configs, secure defaults).
• Stay close to new Rust ecosystem tools and deep tech stacks, and bring useful ones into our architecture.
• Collaborate with the team on design reviews, code reviews, and roadmap decisions.

• You have 3-5+ years in backend / systems engineering.
• You're strong in Rust (or a similar systems language and seriously moving into Rust).
• You're comfortable with Kubernetes in production (not just hello world).
• You have a track record of building low-level components: proxies, gateways, networking layers, or infra tools.
• Security is not an afterthought for you - you care about TLS/mTLS, encryption, and secure-by-default designs.
• You like working in a small, focused team and taking real ownership.

Nice to have

• Experience with cloud / infra APIs like OpenStack, vSphere, or similar.
• Background in distributed systems, networking, or security.
• Experience with observability (logs / metrics / traces) and keeping prod systems healthy.
