Location: San Francisco, CA - hybrid, 3 4 days/week on-site, with flexibility

About this role
Client is looking for a Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience to join their platform team and build the infrastructure and internal systems the rest of engineering depends on.
This is a software engineering role on an infrastructure team, not an operations role. The person should be writing services and systems in Golang or a comparable systems language, designing for large distributed systems, and running cloud infrastructure at production scale. Coding ability is critical - candidates are held to the same engineering bar as product engineers and must clear a rigorous coding screen plus a dedicated systems design round.
What the person will do
Design, build, and own backend services and systems that make up the platform layer
Build and scale distributed systems serving enterprise-grade traffic and multi-tenant workloads
Deploy, scale, and monitor cloud infrastructure at production scale on AWS or GCP
Build internal developer platforms and tooling that product engineers depend on day to day
Work across infrastructure tooling - Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka - to support reliable delivery
Engage directly with customers to sharpen understanding of the product and its requirements
Requirements
Dealbreakers -Must have requirements
Worked on platform/infrastructure teams as a software engineer - writing services and systems, not just managing or operating infrastructure
Strong software engineering fundamentals - must pass a rigorous Leetcode-style coding screen, held to the same bar as product engineer
Systems design for large distributed systems (tested in a dedicated interview round)
Baseline - expected
4+ years of experience as a software engineer building distributed systems

Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or GCP) - deployment, scaling, and monitoring at production scale
Familiarity with infrastructure tooling (Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka) - deep expertise not required, baseline awareness expected
Nice-to-have
Experience building internal developer platforms or tooling that product engineers depend on
Background at big tech companies and successful startups
Technical Skills

Cloud: AWS or GCP - deployment, scaling, and monitoring at production scale
