Description
We’re looking for a hands-on Platform Engineer to help build the backend and data platform for a new product. The codebase is still early, so this person will have a meaningful role in shaping the architecture, development standards, and deployment approach.
You’ll build production backend services and APIs that ingest, query, and deliver high-volume data. The platform will be containerized and deployed with Kubernetes in both connected and air-gapped customer environments.
What you’ll do:
-
Build backend services for data ingestion, retrieval, and delivery
-
Design the flow between storage, backend services, and client applications
-
Develop strongly typed APIs using Protobuf and gRPC
-
Package, deploy, and troubleshoot services on Kubernetes
-
Address container registries, security, credentials, availability, and recovery
-
Help establish practical engineering standards for an early-stage product
What we need:
-
Hands-on production Kubernetes experience, including diagnosing and recovering failed deployments (K3s or RKE2)
-
Experience deploying applications in air-gapped or restricted environments
-
Backend development and API design experience; Go, Java, or Python may be relevant
-
Ability to take an open-ended problem, propose a design, and build the solution with limited direction
Experience with high-volume ingestion, telemetry, IoT data, data lakes, performance-sensitive systems, or defense environments would be helpful.
