About the company
Our client is an early-stage software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take ownership of core infrastructure for a software platform, creating and growing isolated compute and storage systems. Collaborate with technical leadership and fellow engineers, carrying work from initial design through release and day-to-day operation.
What you'll do
- Build and grow secure compute orchestration that safely runs code from many separate users.
- Take charge of foundational infrastructure pieces such as compute, isolation layers and distributed storage during a shift toward a hosted offering.
- Partner with engineering leadership, engineers and customers on problems that sit between infrastructure and product.
- Architect storage and container components that scale well, anticipating where they might break in shared environments.
- Drive infrastructure initiatives from early design choices through rollout, delivering in small steps.
- Handle releases, monitoring, operational documentation and on-call duty for the services you deliver.
- Continuously raise the reliability, speed and cost efficiency of those services.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- At least 4 years of infrastructure engineering experience, with 4 to 8 years being the typical range.
- A track record of building core systems, not only operations or DevOps work.
- Hands-on background running shared compute platforms with attention to tenant separation, uptime and spend.
- Detailed knowledge of how container and sandbox technologies work internally, beyond everyday usage.
- Proficiency in a low-level systems language, for example Rust or Go.
- Solid grounding in Linux fundamentals.
- Prior experience at companies focused on containers, sandboxing, storage or infrastructure.
- A product-minded approach that links technical decisions to the user experience.
- US work authorization without needing visa sponsorship or transfer.
Bonus points
- Experience at early-stage startups.
- Experience implementing file systems or databases.
- Public code projects involving containers or infrastructure.
