Proven experience optimizing low-latency/high-throughput systems, with a strong grasp of concurrency, multi-threading, memory management, and asynchronous programming. Distributed Systems & RPC Frameworks: Extensive experience building scalable, highly available backend microservices. Strong proficiency with RPC frameworks (e.g., gRPC, Apache Thrift) and data serialization (e.g., Protocol Buffers, FlatBuffers).Cluster Management & Orchestration: Solid understanding of containerization and cluster orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes, Nomad) for managing large-scale distributed workloads. Release & Infrastructure Automation: Hands-on experience automating deployment rollouts, capacity scaling, and environment lifecycle management without manual intervention. Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) and advanced CI/CD pipelines. Systems Architecture & Isolation: Experience managing multitenancy, physical compute isolation, global traffic load balancing, and rate limiting in a production environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
