## About the Role

You will own the infrastructure layer of latch including container orchestration, distributed filesystems, cloud architecture, and database systems.

 * Exceptional modern linux fundamentals like eBPF, cgroups2, etc

## Description

We care about output and let people optimize their work in a way that works for them. Our engineering team is in-person in San Francisco. We run a daily standup where engineers talk through technical challenges and stay aligned on what matters most. You will own a product area and execute, working closely with seasoned Latch engineers, product managers, and designers. Mentorship happens through code review and working through hard problems together.
