## About the Role

2-5 years of professional backend software development experience.

 - Proficiency in Go, or strong experience in a comparable backend language (Rust, Java, C++) and an interest in writing Go day-to-day.
 - Solid distributed systems fundamentals. You've debugged service-to-service problems in production and understand retries, partial failures, and idempotency.
 - Comfort designing APIs and resource models that other engineers will actually use.
 - Experience with relational databases, including schemas, transactions, and migrations.
 - Experience building asynchronous systems using queues, background jobs, state machines, or similar patterns.
 - Working knowledge of Kubernetes and an interest in building software that deploys and manages workloads on Kubernetes-based infrastructure.
 - Experience running highly available services, including being on-call.

Bonus points for

 - Experience building developer tools, platforms, control planes, runtimes, or other products for developers.
 - Experience building software that interacts with Kubernetes, such as controllers, operators, or deployment systems.
 - Familiarity with serverless or edge-compute platforms (Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, Lambda, Fly.io, Deno Deploy, etc.).
 - Experience with technologies in our stack such as Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, NATS/JetStream, Knative, or Dapr.
 - Experience operating software across multiple regions or data centres.
 - Open source contributions, particularly in the Go ecosystem.

## Description

Design and build the Go services behind our serverless platform, function deployment pipeline, and global control plane.

 - Own backend and control-plane software, from customer-facing APIs and resource lifecycles to services that deploy and manage workloads across our edge infrastructure.
 - Make the platform great to use: clean APIs, a sharp CLI, predictable behaviour, and useful error messages. Developer experience is a feature, not an afterthought.
 - Build reliable workflows for deployments, configuration, storage, and observability. Handle the retries, state, and failure cases that come with operations spanning multiple services and data centres.
 - Work with Kubernetes and our runtime infrastructure through the control plane, and help diagnose latency, throughput, and reliability issues across the platform.
 - Build tooling that helps us operate safely at scale. Participate in on-call for the systems you build.
