Clean Code Principles Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) Continuous Integration Software Debugging Python (Programming Language) Network Architecture Open Source Technology Software Engineering Software Coding

Job description

  • Build and maintain services and tooling that automate the network lifecycle: day-0 provisioning, day-N changes, drift detection, and operational verification
  • Make network changes safe and transparent: CI/CD workflows, diff/review tooling, staged rollouts/rollbacks, audit trails, and guardrails
  • Develop observability systems that scale across many sites: telemetry pipelines, signal quality, and tooling that shortens incident investigations
  • Close “last mile” gaps between the network and the platform: integrate source-of-truth data, expose APIs, and build reliable automation around it
  • Collaborate closely with network engineers and SREs to turn real operational pain into product-quality tooling, We expect Engineers to:
  • Manage large-scale projects involving multiple stakeholders
  • Break down complex tasks and guide both their own work and that of more junior colleagues
  • Be experts in specific technologies and write high-quality code that can serve as a reference
  • Assess task priority and focus on high-impact work, avoiding low-value efforts
  • Have strong architectural thinking and contribute to system design
  • Be involved in hiring and actively contribute to interviews
  • Be willing to share knowledge and mentor others

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent practical background)
  • Strong coding skills and ownership mindset: you can ship and operate reliable services
  • Proficiency in Go or readiness to switch; Python is also welcome (other languages can be useful for OSS debugging/fixes)
  • You don’t have to be Network expert but we expect you to have interest in infrastructure and/or network

It will be an added bonus if you have:

  • Background in networking (ex-network engineer, CCNP/education, DC networking exposure) or strong interest and proven ability to learn fast
  • Experience building automation/infra tooling: CI/CD, IaC, testing/staging environments, or “network-as-code” style workflows
  • Low-level networking / datapath experience: eBPF/XDP, DPDK, kernel networking, traffic processing systems
  • Experience designing high-load services and observability platforms (metrics/logs/traces, alerting, regression detection)
  • Contributions to open source or experience extending/debugging OSS components in production environments, Applicants must be authorized to work in the country in which they apply and will be required to provide proof of employment eligibility as a condition of hire.

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive compensation
  • Career growth and learning opportunities
  • Flexibility and ownership
  • Collaborative and innovative culture
  • Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
  • International environment and talented teams
