What we need to see:

• 8+ years of experience with designing and building distributed software systems.
• Track record of directly supporting systems with external customers, or demanding internal customers
• BS/MS degree in Computer science or related areas (or equivalent experience)
• Demonstrated ability to write code in a mainstream systems programming language such as C, C++, Golang, or Rust.
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement maintainable APIs for consumers.
• Practical experience with asynchronous programming, type safety, threading models, state machines and data structures.
• Background of data persistence (SQL or similar).
• Understanding of secure communication protocols (mutual-TLS, IPsec, or similar).
• Knowledge of SRE principles (observability, SLOs, logging, etc.)

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience in a Hyperscale Cloud Service Provider (public-facing or not)
• Understanding of networking protocols such as IP, IPv6, BGP, HTTP, ICMP, tunneling protocols (VXLAN, Geneve, FoU, GRE), etc.
• Familiarity with Infiniband networking
• Background with Host management systems (DHCP, Redfish, UEFI) and host security services such as TPM, TXT, and Secure-Boot
