About this role
Senior Production Engineer to diagnose and fix stability vulnerabilities in core platform services for multi-tenant cloud deployments, and to implement resilience patterns in service code. This role emphasizes fixing hard reliability problems in live systems rather than building greenfield software, with hands-on Go work and light infrastructure tasks.
What You'll Do
- Diagnose and fix stability vulnerabilities in core platform services that cause cascading failures under multi-replica, multi-tenant operation
- Implement resilience patterns (leader election, circuit breakers, failure domain isolation) directly in service code
- Design multi-replica support for services that currently assume single-instance operation
- Collaborate with service owners on contract testing and upgrade validation
- Trace cascading failures across service boundaries and drive root-cause fixes
- Contribute to observability platform improvements to support service stability
- Light infrastructure work: Terraform/Kubernetes changes to support service fixes (~20% of time)
What We're Looking For
- Production-quality Go — you'll be modifying core platform services, not writing scripts
- Practical experience with distributed systems: leader election, consensus, replication, failure modes
- Kubernetes — enough to understand how services run (not necessarily cluster administration)
- Debugging complex systems — tracing cascading failures across service boundaries
- 4+ years in SRE, platform engineering, or backend development roles
Nice to Have
- Rust (some platform services use it)
- Experience fixing reliability problems in production services (not just building greenfield)
- Familiarity with gRPC service architectures
- HashiCorp Consul or similar service discovery/mesh
- FedRAMP/IL5 compliance environment experience
- ArgoCD / GitOps workflows
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary range: $166,000 – $220,000 USD per year
- Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full-time offers
- Comprehensive benefits package for health, recovery, and future security
