In order to maintain talent and diversity, we emphasize the care for physical health, mental health, and overall well-being.

We seek autonomous, motivated, and self-driven engineers who are ready to embrace this challenge, take full ownership, and have a transformative influence on our infrastructure.

Ownership: Take full ownership of critical platform components running on Kubernetes, including scaling strategies, secrets management, and core networking (VPC, ingress).

Ensure availability: Design, implement and maintain comprehensive observability solutions (monitoring, alerting, and logging using Datadog, Opensearch, and fluentd) to guarantee the platform's flawless, uninterrupted 24/7 availability.
