What you'll be doing:

• Spearhead innovation to architect and deliver highly reliable, performant, and scalable cloud-native systems.

• Lead the design and development of next-generation microservices and distributed systems with a strong emphasis on performance optimization and cost efficiency.

• Define and evolve system architecture strategies, ensuring alignment with long-term business and technical goals.

• Tackle complex challenges in job orchestration, resource optimization, and self-healing infrastructure with a focus on automation and resilience.

• Build and scale end-to-end observability solutions including metrics pipelines, alerting frameworks, and telemetry storage.

• Leverage data analytics and predictive modeling to proactively improve system behavior and reliability.

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship across teams while collaborating cross-functionally with product, infrastructure, and operations groups to drive strategic initiatives and foster a culture of engineering excellence and continuous improvement.

• Design and operate massively scalable systems—handling thousands to millions of jobs and servers—using deep expertise in Kubernetes and public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).

What we need to see:

• Demonstrated experience in building and scaling large-scale cloud infrastructure platforms.

• 10+ years of proven experience in software engineering with a strong track record of delivering enterprise-grade cloud solutions; BS/MS/Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.

• Deep expertise in microservices architecture, with hands-on experience designing and developing scalable, distributed systems.

• Extensive experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), including scaling infrastructure to support thousands to millions of jobs and servers.

• Strong Kubernetes expertise, including container orchestration and cloud-native tooling for deployment, monitoring, and management.

• Proficiency in both SQL (e.g., MySQL) and NoSQL (e.g., Elasticsearch) databases, with a solid understanding of scalable storage systems.

• Hands-on experience with Web Services (SOAP/REST), messaging systems like Kafka, and CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, Git, and Perforce.

• Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to lead and collaborate effectively in a globally distributed, multi-time-zone environment.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Proven ability to deconstruct complex systems into modular, scalable components with measurable outcomes and scale systems to handle millions of concurrent jobs and global workloads.

• Expertise in optimizing cloud infrastructure for performance, reliability, and cost.

• Solid collaborative and interpersonal skills, specifically a proven ability to effectively guide and influence within a dynamic environment

• Relentless drive to push the boundaries of system performance and reliability.
