  • Investigate production issues across application and infrastructure layers.
  • Improve reliability, observability, scalability, and security of the hosting platform.
  • Review technical designs and code and collaborate with other engineering teams.
  • Participate in evolving the architecture of the hosting platform.
Knowledge and ExperienceRequired:
  • Strong software development experience with Python.
  • Strong Linux knowledge and experience debugging production systems.
  • Good understanding of networking fundamentals.
  • Experience with relational databases.
  • Experience with containers and Docker.
  • Experience with Git and modern software development workflows.
  • Ability to troubleshoot issues across application, operating system, network, and infrastructure layers.
  • Good written and verbal English communication skills.
Nice to have:
  • Experience with Go.
  • AWS experience.
  • Infrastructure-as-code experience (e.g. Terraform).
  • CI/CD and deployment automation experience.
  • Bash or other scripting experience.
  • Experience operating services at a significant scale.
  • Experience with monitoring and observability tooling.
  • Security-minded approach to infrastructure and backend development.
