This U.S. role has a base pay range that will vary based on the location of the candidate.
Base Salary Range: $184,000—$253,000 USD
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Own and evolve the architecture of the self-hosted platform across multiple teams — backend services, data pipelines, control logic, and the deployment topology shipped to customers (containerized microservices on bare metal, delivered as an appliance/OVA).
- Implement improvements to existing architecture and define coding patterns and standards that span multiple teams.
- Set the standard for high availability and resilience in customer-controlled deployments: clustering, replication, failover, consensus/leader election, and graceful degradation across single-node and multi-node topologies.
- Drive infrastructure cost analysis and optimization for customer-controlled hardware and environments.
- Define scalability and capacity-planning strategies that hold across a wide range of customer scale and hardware, and establish frameworks for performance, observability, and operational excellence in constrained and air-gapped environments.
- Lead translation of SaaS/cloud-native capabilities into on-prem architecture and refine vaguely specified complex requirements into robust end-to-end designs.
- Influence the engineering roadmap, drive medium-to-large multi-team initiatives, mentor staff and senior engineers, and act as a cross-team technical authority.
Requirements
- Roughly 8+ years of related experience, or a degree in Computer Science/Software Engineering or equivalent experience.
- Deep hands-on expertise in Go and/or Python across technologies such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, Docker, and Linux.
- Extensive, proven experience designing and delivering on-prem / self-hosted / customer-deployed software, including packaging and lifecycle for appliance/OVA, bare-metal or containerized deployments, upgrades, and air-gapped or restricted networks.
- Strong track record architecting distributed systems for high availability and fault tolerance in on-prem / customer-controlled deployments (replication, clustering, failover, consensus/leader election).
- Deep command of scalability and performance in on-prem deployments: horizontal/vertical scaling, sharding/partitioning, load balancing, capacity planning, and evaluating technology trade-offs and costs.
- Ability to take vaguely specified, complex requirements and create efficient, robust, future-proof end-to-end designs; experience influencing roadmaps and leading multi-team designs; excellent communication and mentoring skills.
- Experience with security products is a strong advantage.
