Job Description

What You'll Work On

Build SDKs & Developer Abstractions

You'll design and maintain the internal libraries and SDKs that make it easy for engineering

teams to instrument their services, build reliable workflows, and interact with platform

capabilities — without needing to understand the underlying complexity. Our primary

language is Go, with legacy SDK support across Java, Python, Node.js, and .NET.

Own & Operate Production Platforms

You'll take end-to-end ownership of the platforms your team runs — from writing the code

to deploying and operating it in production. Our stack spans observability tooling(OpenTelemetry, Grafana Cloud, Grafana Loki), logging pipelines (Kafka,

Elasticsearch), workflow orchestration (Temporal), and security access control

(SpiceDB, Okta). Infrastructure runs on Kubernetes, managed with Terraform, ArgoCD,

and Kustomize.

Improve the Developer Experience

You'll think beyond your immediate platform and consider how your work impacts the

engineers who depend on it. That means contributing to CI/CD pipelines, improving

internal tooling, writing great documentation, and advocating for platform patterns that

reduce friction across the org.

What We're Looking For

Required

•5+ years of software engineering experience, with significant hands-on coding in

production environments

•Strong proficiency in Go — this is our primary language and you'll write a lot of it

•Solid experience with Kubernetes — deploying, operating, and troubleshooting

workloads in production

•Experience with observability tooling — OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing,

structured logging, or metrics pipelines

•Familiarity with CI/CD practices and tools (ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, or similar)

•Infrastructure-as-code experience, ideally with Terraform

•Strong engineering fundamentals: clean code, testing, code review, documentation

Nice to Have

•Experience with Temporal or other workflow orchestration platforms

•Hands-on experience with Kafka and/or Elasticsearch

•Familiarity with SpiceDB, Zanzibar-style authorization models, or identity

platforms like Okta

•Experience building and maintaining developer-facing SDKs or internal libraries

•Exposure to Java, Python, Node.js, or .NET (helpful for maintaining legacy SDKs)•Experience with Grafana Cloud or Grafana Loki

What Makes You a Great Fit

•You're a software engineer at heart who happens to love platform and infrastructure

problems

•You think carefully about the developer experience and how your platforms affect

other teams

•You're comfortable owning systems end-to-end — from writing the code to running

it in production

•You can work across a broad surface area without losing depth

•You communicate clearly and collaborate well in a distributed team environment

Why Join Us

•High ownership and technical autonomy — you'll have real impact on systems used

by the entire engineering org

•A team that values clean code, solid architecture, and thoughtful platform design

•Modern, well-scoped stack with interesting engineering challenges across

observability, workflow, and access control

•Collaborative culture with a strong emphasis on developer experience
