## About the Role

* 6-8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and operating resilient production services.
 * 4+ years of hands-on experience building production-grade distributed systems, cloud services, and/or control-plane platforms.
 * Strong proficiency in Java, including production service development, concurrent programming, and performance troubleshooting.
 * Demonstrated ability to use AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows to improve design, code generation, testing, troubleshooting, and process automation while maintaining strong engineering judgment.
 * Strong API design skills, including RESTful service design and OpenAPI/Swagger or comparable API contracts.
 * Experience designing reliable stateful workflows, including asynchronous processing, retries, idempotency, concurrency control, and failure recovery.
 * Solid understanding of Linux systems, networking fundamentals, and highly available distributed systems.
 * Experience with containers and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes., * DNS expertise, including authoritative DNS, zone and record management, DNS delegation, TTLs, DNSSEC, and DNS change propagation.
 * Experience with cloud control planes, resource lifecycle management, or multi-tenant platform APIs.
 * Knowledge of internet protocols and security standards, including DNS, TLS, HTTP, and REST.
 * Experience with relational or distributed data stores and schema evolution for highly available services.
 * Familiarity with modern CI/CD platforms such as OCI DevOps, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI/CD, and engineering productivity tools including Bitbucket, Jira, and Confluence.

## Description

* Design and implement control-plane services and APIs for DNS zones, records, views, policies, androuting configuration.
 * Build reliable workflows for validation, change orchestration, propagation, reconciliation, andlifecycle management across distributed DNS infrastructure.
 * Develop production services and libraries primarily in Java, with supporting automation in Python where needed, and a strong focus on API design and correctness.
 * Use AI-assisted engineering tools and agentic workflows to accelerate implementation, testing, incident investigation, and operational automation, with appropriate human review, security, and quality controls.
 * Improve safety and operational resilience through idempotent workflows, optimistic concurrency, audit-ability, rollback paths, canary releases, and feature flags.
 * Own observability and operational readiness: metrics, logs, tracing, SLOs, run-books, capacity planning, and thoughtful on-call participation.
 * Partner with DNS data plane, security, networking, and SRE teams to deliver secure, end-to-end platform improvements.
 * Contribute technical leadership through design reviews, code reviews, documentation, and mentoring of other engineers., * You deliver control-plane capabilities that make DNS changes safer, faster, and easier for customers and internal operators.
 * You improve the reliability, auditability, and operability of DNS configuration workflows at scale.
 * You raise engineering standards through pragmatic design, rigorous testing, and collaborative technical leadership.
