Job summary

United States Digital Space LLC is seeking a Software Engineer to join the CDN Content team in San Francisco. You will work on serving content through a multi-tier caching architecture, building services in Go, TypeScript, and more, with careful rollouts and data-driven validation.

You will own production-grade code, write tests, and contribute to monitoring and incident response. Collaboration with Next.js and CI/CD teams is expected, with on-call rotation and a strong focus on distributed

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience building and operating backend services in production.
• Proficiency in at least one of Go, TypeScript/Node.js, or a comparable systems language, and enthusiasm for working across a polyglot stack.
• Solid understanding of HTTP and web fundamentals — caching headers, request/response lifecycle, what a proxy does.
• You write code you're willing to operate: tested, instrumented, and documented.
• Curious about how large-scale systems work, and motivated to dig into unfamiliar code and production data to figure things out.
• A collaborative teammate who communicates clearly, asks good questions, and follows through reliably.

Responsibilities

• Build and improve the services behind ISR, PPR, and image optimization — working in Go, Lua, and TypeScript across the serving path.
• Execute well-defined projects independently, from implementation through safe rollout (feature flags, shadow modes, progressive deployment) and post-ship validation.
• Monitor and maintain your work in production: build dashboards, add metrics and alerts, and develop ownership of what you ship.
• Contribute to the team's observability and testing surface — the dashboards, logs views, and e2e test suites that keep a high-change system trustworthy.
• Participate in the on-call rotation with support from senior engineers, and contribute to incident follow-ups that make the system more resilient.
• Collaborate with teammates and partner teams (Next.js, CI/CD) through design discussions, code review, and pairing.
