Our Technology team is the backbone of our operations, building the systems and experiences that keep the company moving. We are seeking a Software Engineer with expertise in self-managed storage solutions like Redis and Kafka. This role involves developing and operating critical infrastructure at a global scale while ensuring resilience, automation, and scalability from day one.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Designing, operating, and evolving our storage solutions, such as Kafka clusters at scale, across cloud and/or on-premise environments.
- Building and maintaining self-managed, highly available distributed systems (messaging, storage, data infrastructure).
- Architecting multi-region deployments, failover strategies, and disaster recovery for mission-critical systems.
- Developing infrastructure as code and internal self-service platforms to allow engineering teams to provision and operate safely at scale.
- Driving automation across provisioning, scaling, upgrades, patching, and incident remediation.
- Contributing to reliability standards (SLOs, SLIs, error budgets) and enhancing observability across the stack.
- Collaborating with backend, platform, security, and compliance teams to design infrastructure that meets regulatory and audit requirements.
- Participating in incident response and postmortem processes, focusing on systemic improvements.
What You'll Need:
- Expertise operating Apache Kafka in production at scale, including cluster provisioning, lifecycle management, capacity planning, performance tuning, replication, failover, and resilience design.
- Knowledge of security hardening (ACLs, encryption, authentication).
- A background in SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure engineering.
- Deep understanding of distributed systems concepts (consensus, partitioning, fault tolerance, backpressure, networking).
- Experience with Linux, containerization (Docker), and Kubernetes.
- Expertise in Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) and configuration management (e.g., Ansible).
- Familiarity with CI/CD systems and automation pipelines.
- Ability to independently design and deliver complex systems in collaboration with multiple internal stakeholders.
- Hands-on software engineering skills.
Nice to Have:
- Experience operating other stateful systems at scale (e.g., Postgres, Redis, object storage).
- Knowledge of monitoring and observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Stackdriver, Vector, VictoriaMetrics).
- Exposure to regulated environments or financial systems.
- Experience operating infrastructure across cloud (GCP/AWS) and on-premise environments.
