Requirements

Role Summary: Drive the design, implementation, and enhancement of mission-critical Control Plane APIs and distributed backend services powering core cloud networking. This role focuses on scaling high-throughput API endpoints, IPAM, VPC, and orchestration workflows within an asynchronous Python backend stack, requiring an engineer who can ramp up rapidly in an unfamiliar codebase and deliver production-grade features within an agile, evolving architecture.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of production experience in backend software engineering for distributed systems and control plane platforms.
• Strong proficiency in Python and its ecosystem, with hands-on experience in Flask, SQLAlchemy, Celery, Redis, and MySQL.
• Strong foundation in core Internet and networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, IPv4 (DHCP), IPv6 (DHCPv6), DNS / rDNS, HTTP, BGP, and ICMP.
• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure primitives: Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), IP Address Management (IPAM), IAM, Observability, and Billing.
• Proven track record of independently navigating complex, legacy, or partially documented codebases, delivering meaningful contributions within the first 4–6 weeks.
• Rigorous written communication and documentation hygiene: writing thorough pull request descriptions, architecture decision records, clear READMEs, and structured handoff documentation.
• Time zone flexibility with sufficient working overlap during US Eastern Time (ET) business hours.

Nice to have:

• Hands-on experience with modern observability stacks: OpenTelemetry (OTEL), Grafana, Loki, and VictoriaMetrics.
• Exposure to configuration management platforms (particularly SaltStack).
• Experience with distributed task queues, event-driven architectures, and high-availability database replication.
• Practical experience leveraging modern AI developer tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini) to accelerate testing, code quality, and delivery cycles.

Job Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, and maintain robust, high-performance Control Plane APIs and background task pipelines using Flask, SQLAlchemy, Celery, and Redis.
• Implement core cloud networking functionalities across IPAM allocation engines, VPC routing interfaces, and multi-tenant billing/IAM boundaries.
• Troubleshoot and resolve concurrency, latency, and consistency issues across distributed MySQL and Redis backends.
• Establish clear system documentation, updating architectural sources of truth, internal runbooks, and API specifications to ensure frictionless handoffs.
• Communicate status, blockers, and architectural trade-offs proactively and asynchronously through structured status updates and detailed PR descriptions.
• Adapt to evolving project milestones and shift across multiple concurrent workstreams without losing delivery momentum.
