## About the Role

* Strong programming skills in Go or Rust, or a comparable systems language (C++, Java or similar)
 * Experience building enterprise products and working with enterprise customers.
 * Designed and scaled distributed systems in production that are used by multiple teams.
 * Built on Kubernetes (or a similar orchestrator) as a platform, not just deployed to it.
 * Hands-on experience designing and running production systems across more than one major cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), with deep expertise in at least one.
 * A product mindset. You care about the people using the systems you build, not just the systems themselves.

 * Experience operating at Staff, Principal, founding engineer, or CTO-level scope.

And deep experience in some of these:

 * Shipping software into customer-controlled environments (BYOC, VPC, self-hosted, air-gapped).
 * Sandboxing and isolation (containers, microVMs, multi-tenant security).
 * Enterprise identity, networking and encryption (SSO/SCIM, KMS/BYOK, private networking).

Our tech stack

 * Languages: Go, Rust, TypeScript
 * Cloud: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Cloudflare
 * Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Terraform, Temporal, OpenTelemetry, CI/CD
 * Data: PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Firestore, Spanner, BigQuery

## Description

Whether you've been a Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, founding engineer, or CTO, we're looking for someone who's already operated with this level of ownership-and wants to do it again on an even bigger stage.

You'll define the technical direction for the platform that lets enterprise customers run Lovable securely and at scale.

You'll spend your time writing software, making architecture decisions, mentoring engineers, and working directly with customers on problems that don't have established playbooks. Examples include:

 * Defining the architecture for enterprise deployments across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, including deployments into customer-controlled environments.
 * Building cloud-agnostic systems that give customers flexibility in how and where they run Lovable.
 * Designing secure sandboxing and runtime environments for running untrusted code at scale.
 * Setting the technical bar for networking, encryption, identity and enterprise infrastructure.
 * Building the internal platform that helps our engineering teams ship faster.
 * Mentoring engineers and raising the engineering bar across the organisation.
 * Working directly with enterprise customers and cloud providers on complex infrastructure challenges.

We're looking for a Staff-level (or equivalent) Software Engineer with deep platform and infrastructure experience who have set technical direction before. This is a role for engineers who enjoy building software that powers infrastructure, if you're from a traditional DevOps background this is less likely to be a good fit.
