Job summary

Gcore, a global provider of DNS infrastructure and edge computing, is seeking a Software Engineer to help design and deliver the Traffic Management System for an AI-driven world.

You will design, build, and maintain the Go-based API and edge agents to steer traffic across our worldwide edge fleet, with a focus on reliability, performance, and resilience. The role requires 5+ years in software engineering and 3+ years in Go, plus strong DevOps and Linux foundations.

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of experience in software engineering.
• 3+ years' experience with Go.
• Proven ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Comfort with working in Linux environments.
• Background in DevOps practices, with a focus on infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, and system monitoring tools.
• Familiarity with service-level indicators (SLIs), objectives (SLOs), and agreements (SLAs).
• Proven experience in incident management, including handling and resolving production issues effectively.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain the Traffic Management System API (a Go service) to manage routing and traffic-steering configuration across our global edge fleet.
• Develop the agent that renders and applies routing configuration on edge nodes, reliably driving desired state from the API out to the edge.
• Build and extend BGP and Anycast routing capabilities, including config rendering, peer-group and route-map support, and prefix filtering, as we consolidate edge routing onto a single control plane.
• Develop and maintain automated failover and high-availability solutions, including non-stop maintenance mode and capacity- and health-aware traffic offloading from saturated points of presence.
• Strengthen reliability through strong test coverage (config rendering and end-to-end pipeline tests), metrics, and observability across the routing pipeline.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize system performance, reliability, and resiliency.
