The Mission
As Service Mesh engineer you will work in a squad with 11 other engineers that have similar skills as you. Together you develop and support the internally developed service mesh solution using Envoy, a proxy that takes care of observability, resiliency and security in our service mesh. The service mesh is used globally and its userbase is global as well. It is being used by 800+ teams and 2000+ microservices. And you make sure that all teams and applications reach the Golden State by promoting the microservices golden path and correct usage of the service mesh!
You make customers successful, by helping users to tackle issues related to our product. All squad members take part in this technical support towards users.
Your day to day
In the morning, you start by joining the team ceremony, the daily stand‑up. Together with your squad, you align on progress, upcoming work, and anything that needs extra attention. After that, you pair with a colleague and pick the next relevant user story and spend some time reviewing pull requests from your teammates, giving thoughtful feedback and keeping quality high.
Later in the morning, you realise there’s an upcoming internal conference that would be a great opportunity to share how teams are using the platform. You take it on to contribute by preparing a short talk to advocate to a broader audience how to adopt the product you work on.
In the afternoon, you connect with a product team that has questions about integrating with the service mesh. You walk through their setup together, help them troubleshoot, and update the documentation along the way so the next team benefits as well. During the session, it becomes clear they were still on an older version giving you a concrete data point to feed back into the team’s backlog to improve automation and write-up how OpenRewrite can provide upgrade guidance for everyone.
By the end of the day, you’ve delivered code, helped users move forward, improved the product experience, and strengthened the ecosystem around it.
