What We Value

• Systems programming experience with strong proficiency in Go, Python, or Rust.
• Deep familiarity with containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Experience working with a cloud provider (AWS / Azure / GCE) or sysadmin/SRE experience in data centers.
• Up to date with modern industry practices and open‑source advancements.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, APIs, cloud platforms, and on‑prem infrastructure.
• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and system reliability principles.
• Willingness and eligibility to obtain a U.S. security clearance.

What We Require

• 3+ years of professional software development experience on core infrastructure with emphasis on operational excellence.
• 2+ years of experience contributing to the system design or architecture (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems.

Salary

The estimated salary range for this position is $135,000 - $200,000 per year. Total compensation may include Restricted Stock Units, sign‑on bonus, and other incentives. The exact amount will depend on qualifications, experience, and skills.

Benefits

• Basic life, AD&D and disability insurance coverage.
• Commuter benefits.
• Paid time off based on need (no accrual).
• 2 weeks paid time off built into the end of each year (subject to team and business needs).
