Your Impact

• Architect Distributed Services: Design and build large-scale distributed services for telemetry ingestion, event streaming, and command orchestration across both edge and cloud environments.

• Deliver Real-Time Data: Implement real-time data pipelines using Kafka, NATS, or gRPC streams to ensure low-latency, high-throughput processing.

• Manage Stateful Systems: Maintain and optimize stateful services like Redis, InfluxDB, and Postgres for consistency, replication, and failover in multi-region deployments.

• Automate Infrastructure: Develop infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm) and CI/CD workflows to automate testing, security scans, and rolling upgrades.

• Champion Reliability: Monitor and troubleshoot production systems with Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, and other observability tools to meet ambitious 99.99% uptime goals. Champion best practices in reliability engineering, capacity planning, and incident response.

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work with embedded, controls, and ML teams to define API contracts, message schemas (Protobuf), and service SLAs.

What You'll Bring

• Experience: 5+ years building and operating distributed, fault-tolerant systems in production.

• Foundational Knowledge: A deep understanding of distributed systems concepts, including consensus (Raft/Paxos), partition tolerance, consistency models, and backpressure.

• Technical Expertise:

  • Hands-on experience with streaming platforms (Kafka, Pulsar) or message queues (NATS, RabbitMQ).

  • Proficiency in systems programming (C++/Go/Python) with a strong grasp of CS fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, networking).

  • Expertise in container orchestration (Kubernetes), service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), and microservices architecture.

  • Solid background with observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Jaeger/Zipkin).

• Automation: A track record of automating infrastructure (Terraform, Ansible) and building reliable CI/CD pipelines.

• Soft Skills: Excellent communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and a bias for pragmatic solutions.
