Software Engineer

This is a high-impact engineering role within a globally distributed, cloud-native environment focused on building cutting-edge Kubernetes optimization technology. You will work on a platform that helps enterprises run large-scale Kubernetes workloads more efficiently through intelligent automation, AI-driven insights, and deep system observability. The role combines hands-on backend development with architectural ownership, giving you influence over both technical direction and execution. You will design and scale high-throughput systems and data pipelines that power real-time optimization decisions. Working alongside experienced engineers across EMEA, you will contribute to a product used by thousands of organizations worldwide. This is a deeply technical role for engineers who enjoy solving complex distributed systems challenges while shaping long-term platform architecture. Accountabilities: Design, build, and maintain large-scale distributed backend systems and high-throughput data pipelines, primarily using Go and modern cloud-native technologies. Take ownership of system architecture decisions, ensuring performance, scalability, reliability, and resilience across the platform. Actively contribute high-quality production code while driving technical direction and reducing system complexity and technical debt. Lead key engineering initiatives related to Kubernetes optimization, backend services, and data-intensive workloads. Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and R&D teams to define technical roadmaps and translate product requirements into scalable solutions. Improve engineering standards across testing, observability, CI/CD, and infrastructure practices. Mentor engineers and contribute to a strong culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.

8-15+ years of backend engineering experience, including strong expertise in distributed systems and production-grade architectures. At least 2-3 years of hands-on commercial experience with Go as a primary programming language. Strong backend development experience in Java, Rust, or Python, with a deep understanding of scalable system design. Proven track record of building and maintaining high-load data pipelines and cloud-native microservices architectures. Strong experience with databases such as PostgreSQL and ideally ClickHouse or similar analytical systems. Solid understanding of containerized environments and DevOps practices, including Docker, Kubernetes, GitOps, CI/CD. Strong debugging, performance tuning, and benchmarking skills with a hands-on engineering mindset. Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across distributed, cross-functional teams.
