Responsibilities

Design, develop, and deploy cloud and edge network infrastructure software across AWS and GCP (our edge runs on Go / Caddy modules on GCE).
Own the deployment path for what you build—CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and the observability to know it's working.
Contribute to the ML pipeline that optimizes routing, caching, and delivery decisions—no ML background required, just the appetite to learn it.
Work with real-user and synthetic performance data flowing through our collection and analytics pipeline.
Build self-healing systems that detect, diagnose, and resolve production issues automatically.
Help build the autonomous agent architecture we run on: systems that keep making progress unattended, that a person can inspect and redirect from anywhere, and that hand off cleanly to a human or another agent.
