Requirements: * 4+ years of experience with a strong infrastructure background. * Drive technical implementation for infrastructure platforms, including compute, networking, storage, and observability systems that serve as the foundation for all engineering teams - owning roadmaps, and ensuring systems scale reliably to meet business growth. * Raise the engineering bar by establishing paved-path patterns for reliability, performance, and operational excellence. * Experience with Istio/Envoy is a huge plus. * Proficiency with Golang, Java and/or C++ in a Linux/UNIX data center environment. * Experience in operating large scale cluster management systems (e.g. Kubernetes) of a mission critical service. * Knowledge of network technologies, such as TCP/IP, DNS, TLS termination, HTTP proxies, network load balancing, etc. * Experience with cloud infrastructure automation tools, frameworks, workflows, and validation platforms. * Working knowledge of CI/CD, configuration management and Infrastructure as Code principles (e.g. Spinnaker, Terraform). * Experience with Agile development methodology (e.g. Scrum) and Test-Driven Development, with attention to code quality, and delivering secure code. * Participation in the team's on-call rotation to address complex problems in real-time and keep services operational and highly available. * Experience in using telemetry and metrics to drive operational excellence. ## Description We are looking for people who can drive the implementation of the next generation of data plane and control plane. We intend to transform our current software stack to adopt more cloud native primitives to build a more reliable, scalable, and feature-rich service mesh. Our software stack is based on leading edge open source software like Envoy for data plane and Istio for control plane. The opportunities to enhance the capabilities of the OSS software and contribute back to the community are immense. The team has already made active upstream contributions to the Envoy project. We intend to transform the way our north-south traffic is secured, load balanced and proxied before entering our core service mesh. We are looking to add experienced distributed systems engineers who are passionate, hungry for new challenges, can step up and own large areas of that vision. ## Related Videos - [DevOps at Netflix](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/270-devops-at-netflix) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026)
