Role Description

We’re hiring a Senior or Staff Software Engineer to join our distributed systems team. This role reports directly into the organization of our incoming CTO (a proven leader from big tech). You’ll have the chance to influence not only our system architecture, but also our engineering culture as we scale from early-stage startup to global platform.

• Partner with leadership to shape system architecture, team practices, and engineering culture.
• Solve complex problems around real-time sync, scalability, and fault-tolerance in heterogeneous network environments.
• Mentor and collaborate with engineers across the org, raising the technical bar.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience; Senior or Staff-level track record.
• Experience at scale, ideally at a FAANG or major cloud provider (Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.).
• Strong background in Rust (or equivalent systems languages like C++/Go, with willingness to ramp on Rust).
• Deep understanding of Kubernetes (K8s), cloud-native architectures, and distributed systems.
• Proven ability to deliver in high-scale, production environments.
• Based in the United States (remote-friendly).

Benefits

• Competitive salaries and meaningful equity.
• Health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, plus a 401(k) and flexible spending accounts (in the US).
• Flexible time off for all employees.
• Access to Atlanta and San Francisco offices for remote workers.
