The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
- You treat toil as a bug. If something requires a human to do it twice, you build the thing that makes it not require a human.
- You design APIs that age well. You've felt the pain of a leaky abstraction at scale and you don't repeat it.
- You move toward ambiguity, not away from it. You walk into the fog, build the map, and explain it to everyone else.
- You learn at a steep slope. You reach real competence in an unfamiliar domain fast. We value this over existing expertise.
- You carry a pager without flinching. You run the incident, write the postmortem, fix the systemic cause, and move on.
- You're fluent with AI tooling. LLM APIs, MCP servers, and agentic frameworks, and you drive Claude Code, Cursor, or similar every day.
- You've shipped production services that other teams depend on at scale, and you're comfortable in any language using AI coding tools.
- Bonus: Distributed systems and data pipeline engineering. Time-series observability stacks (Prometheus, Thanos, VictoriaMetrics). API design and versioning at scale.
Workflow and orchestration engines (Temporal, Cadence). BMC/Redfish or hardware telemetry. Go, Python, and Postgres.
