## About the Role

Software Engineering, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, Supply Chain, Large-Scale Systems, Software Engineering, Product Shipments, User Interface/Experience (UI/UX), Requirements Management, * 0-2 years of experience - new grads welcome, what matters is what you can do

 * Strong in at least one of: frontend (JavaScript/TypeScript, Vue/React/Next.js), backend (Go, service design, APIs), or infrastructure (Linux, Kubernetes, networking)
 * Comfortable working across the stack - you don't need to be an expert in everything, but you're not afraid to jump in
 * Testing mindset - you enjoy breaking things and making sure code works
 * Product instincts - you think about the user first and notice when something feels off
 * High agency - when something is broken, you fix it; when something is missing, you build it
 * Ship fast, iterate, communicate clearly
 * Comfortable with ambiguity. Requirements change. Priorities shift. You thrive in that

Bonus Points

 * Fluent in Chinese (Mandarin) - strong bonus
 * Deeper Kubernetes experience - RBAC, networking policies, operating clusters in production
 * Terraform, Pulumi, or other IaC tools
 * Observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK)
 * Service meshes, gRPC, or message queues (Kafka, NATS, RabbitMQ)
 * Design sensibility - Figma to pixel-perfect, or skip Figma entirely
 * Familiarity with AI/ML tools and integrating LLMs into products
 * Bare metal or on-prem experience
 * Security hardening or pen-testing background
 * Contributions to open source or notable side projects
 * A homelab you can tell us about in unreasonable detail, * Hybrid - 3 days in office, 2 days WFH; must be located in Palo Alto
 * Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship

## Description

* Own features end-to-end - from scoping the problem with users, to writing frontend and backend code, to deploying and monitoring in production
 * Build fast, polished interfaces in Vue, Next.js, or React
 * Design and build backend services in Go
 * Own and operate Kubernetes infrastructure - deployments, scaling, monitoring, troubleshooting
 * Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
 * Administer and harden Linux systems; own networking end-to-end (DNS, firewalls, load balancers, ingress, VPNs)
 * Set up monitoring, alerting, and runbooks. Run incident response and post-mortems
 * Dogfood our product relentlessly. Use it daily, break it on purpose, file detailed bugs, push the team to ship better software
 * Automate everything. If you're doing it manually more than once, script it
 * Operate cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, or Azure)
 * Use AI dev tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) to move faster and ship more
