• Solid grasp of distributed systems fundamentals — fault tolerance, graceful degradation, and failure handling in large-scale environments
• Experience operating the control plane and low-level pieces of large-scale Kubernetes clusters
• Experience with observability at scale: Prometheus, Grafana, distributed tracing, and building actionable alerting systems
• Strong programming skills in Go and Python; ability to collaborate effectively on shared codebases
• Solid knowledge of Linux systems, networking, containers, and cloud infrastructure

Benefits

• Generous cash & equity compensation
• Health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
