TL;DR · Infrastructure/Service Mesh Software Engineer

Infrastructure/Service Mesh Software Engineer joins the Microservices Platform Service Mesh team to build a highly scalable, distributed load balancing and gateway service that fronts all customer traffic. The role involves designing and implementing the next generation Ingress Gateway data plane and control plane while transitioning the software stack toward cloud-native primitives for better reliability and scalability. You will manage the application networking layer, providing features like L4/L7 load balancing, TLS termination, and end-to-end encryption. Key technologies include Envoy, Istio, Golang, Java, C++, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Spinnaker within a Linux environment. The work focuses on solving complex infrastructure challenges for large-scale distributed systems across multiple data centers. You will manage north-south traffic security and proxying while ensuring high availability through crash-only design, telemetry-driven operations, and robust infrastructure as code practices to support massive scale.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement the next generation Ingress Gateway data plane and control plane.
  • Build highly scalable, distributed load balancing and proxy platforms using Envoy and Istio.
  • Define technical strategies and multi-year roadmaps for infrastructure platforms including compute, networking, and storage.
  • Develop and maintain secure, resilient, and observable communication layers for large-scale distributed systems.
  • Establish paved-path patterns to improve reliability, performance, and operational excellence across the organization.
  • Manage live-site operations, resolve complex real-time issues during on-call rotations, and reduce technical debt.
  • Automate infrastructure using tools like Terraform and Spinnaker while ensuring high availability across thousands of nodes.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience with a strong infrastructure background.
  • Proficiency in Golang, Java, and/or C++ within a Linux/UNIX data center environment.
  • Expertise in building large-scale distributed systems in public cloud environments like AWS or GCP.
  • Strong knowledge of network technologies including TCP/IP, DNS, TLS termination, and HTTP proxies.
  • Experience operating large-scale cluster management systems such as Kubernetes for mission-critical services.
  • Working knowledge of CI/CD, configuration management, and Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform.
  • Familiarity with Istio and Envoy is highly preferred.
  • Experience with Agile methodologies, Test-Driven Development, and using telemetry to drive operational excellence.
