The impact you will create:

• Build a hyperscaler from scratch.
• Work in IaaS domain who owns the compute, storage and networking primitives customers run their workloads on.
• Improve the IaaS API: stability, scalability, code quality, new features.
• Scale the billing pipeline to 10x and 100x volume and new resource types.
• Own features end-to-end - "You Build It, You Run It": ship, operate, get paged, fix.
• Make architectural decisions across service boundaries.
• Review API contributions from other IaaS teams.
• Raise the bar in code review, mentor, document the things that aren't obvious.

Experience and skills you will need:

• Strong Software engineer background with DevOps and systems skills.
• Several years of production Go. Idiomatic, well-tested, and you can justify your design choices.
• Effective testing - you know when to use each level of the test pyramid.
• Distributed systems experience: idempotency, retries, partial failures, eventual consistency.
• Deep relational database knowledge; experience at large scale is a plus.
• Linux fundamentals: logs, network, processes.
• Kubernetes and Helm as daily tools. You can debug a misbehaving pod.
• OpenStack sits beneath our API. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be willing to debug at that layer and learn as you go.
• You fix what is in front of you. Broken pipeline, flaky test, missing/outdated documentation - you address it, or you bring it up.
• You can take a half-formed problem statement, identify what needs to happen, challenge it if it's wrong, and drive it to production.
