What you'll do
- Own the architecture, design, and implementation of scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure software for rack-scale and distributed environments.
- Lead development of high-performance, security-critical services, making informed tradeoffs across concurrency, fault tolerance, isolation, and system reliability.
- Define and evolve secure control-plane designs, including APIs and automation for provisioning, orchestration, monitoring, and lifecycle management.
- Establish and drive security design patterns and best practices for multi-tenant infrastructure, including isolation, access control, and resource governance.
- Collaborate across software, hardware, firmware, and platform teams to ensure cohesive system behavior and end-to-end security properties.
- Design and implement observability strategies (telemetry, logging, tracing) to support operational reliability and security visibility at scale.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field and 3+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience, OR Master’s degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience, OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field and 1+ year of Software Engineering or related work experience.
- 2+ years of academic or work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.
- 8 years of experience building infrastructure, platform, or distributed systems, including systems operating at scale or close to hardware.
- Demonstrated experience owning technical design or architecture for complex software systems, including making and documenting significant design tradeoffs.
- Strong proficiency in Python or Go.
- Experience building or securing control-plane services, internal platforms, or developer-facing infrastructure APIs.
- Practical experience designing for secure, multi-tenant environments, including authentication, authorization, isolation, and resource controls.
- Hands-on experience with Linux-based systems and containerized environments.
- Experience applying secure software development practices, such as threat modeling, design reviews, security testing, and incident analysis.
Nice to have
- Experience with C or other systems-level languages.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes security mechanisms (e.g., RBAC, network policies).
- Proven ability to influence technical decisions across teams through design reviews, documentation, and technical leadership.
