Staff Software Engineer

• High-performance Go services that sit at the center of the product. They’ll be built for concurrency, low latency, and real-world scale.
• Cloud-native infrastructure on Kubernetes. You’ll shape how services are deployed, scaled, and observed, and set the patterns the rest of engineering follows.
• Data platform. High scale
• The technical direction. As a Staff engineer, you’ll make the architecture calls, mentor senior engineers, and work directly with the founders and engineering leadership on what gets built and why.

• Deep Golang expertise. You’ve shipped and scaled production Go systems and have strong opinions on concurrency, performance, and clean service design.
• Hands-on Kubernetes. You’ve run real workloads on K8s in production, not just deployed to it.
• Data systems at scale. Streaming, batch pipelines, data lakes, or real-time processing. Experience with tools like Kafka, Spark, Flink, or similar is a strong plus.
• 8+ years in backend engineering, with a track record of owning systems end to end.
• A builder’s mindset. You do your best work when the whiteboard is blank, and you’d rather ship v1 than inherit v7.
