• Solve complex problems across servers, endpoints & services
• Experiment, benchmark and improve performance & reliability
• Evaluate cutting-edge technologies and turn ideas into reality
• Shape architecture and infrastructure strategy

We’re looking for engineers who:

• Have 2+ years of infrastructure/systems experience

• Can debug unfamiliar systems from first principles
• Are curious, analytical and relentlessly pragmatic
• Take ownership rather than waiting for instructions
