Senior Software Engineer, Gateway & Networking Infrastructure

Role description

Role Overview

As a Senior Engineer on the Cloud Platform API team, you'll design and operate the gateways that front the entire control plane. You'll drive large-scale networking migrations, such as moving from NGINX/HAProxy to Envoy across every zone with no customer-visible regression, and own routing, TLS/mTLS, rate limiting, and observability across the stack.

What You Will Do

Own the API and Kubernetes Gateways API stacks and their CRDs: routing, TLS/mTLS, rate limiting, and observability. Drive large-scale infrastructure migrations (for example, HAProxy → Envoy) across every zone with one audit-log shape and no customer-visible regression.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You love owning infrastructure that everything else depends on. You're curious about how to run a fleet of proxies safely across many clusters and zones. You have strong instincts for reliability, blast-radius thinking, and operational rigor.

Requirements

• Production experience writing Go
• Deep experience with networking and traffic infrastructure: L4/L7 load balancing, reverse proxies (Envoy, HAProxy, or NGINX), or API gateways
• Deep Kubernetes experience, ideally with the Gateway API or Ingress, operators and controllers, and running multiple clusters and the applications deployed across them
• A strong grounding in TLS/mTLS and edge and authentication concerns, plus performance tuning of network-facing services
• A track record of setting technical direction and leading initiatives across teams
• Clear communication about your technical contributions and cross-team collaboration
