TL;DR · Senior Production Engineer

Role Posting Log in to save

The Senior Production Engineer joins the SRE team to manage reliability and infrastructure for cloud deployments across multiple production environments. This role focuses on diagnosing and fixing stability vulnerabilities in core platform services that cause cascading failures within multi-tenant systems. The engineer will write production Go code to implement critical resilience patterns, such as leader election, circuit breakers, and failure domain isolation, while designing multi-replica support for single-instance services. Key responsibilities include tracing failures across service boundaries, collaborating on contract testing, and performing infrastructure tasks using Terraform and Kubernetes. The role requires expertise in distributed systems, consensus, replication, and gRPC architectures. Candidates should be proficient in Go and potentially Rust, with experience in observability platforms and solving complex reliability problems within live production environments rather than building greenfield projects.

What you'll do

  • Diagnose and fix stability vulnerabilities in core platform services causing cascading failures.
  • Implement resilience patterns like leader election and circuit breakers directly in Go service code.
  • Design multi-replica support for services currently operating as single instances.
  • Trace cascading failures across service boundaries to identify and implement root-cause fixes.
  • Improve the observability platform to enhance overall service stability.
  • Perform infrastructure updates using Terraform and Kubernetes to support service fixes.
  • Collaborate with service owners on contract testing and upgrade validation.

What we're looking for

  • Must possess production-quality Go programming skills for modifying core platform services.
  • Must have practical experience with distributed systems including leader election, consensus, replication, and failure modes.
  • Must have knowledge of Kubernetes to understand how services run.
  • Must be able to debug complex systems by tracing cascading failures across service boundaries.
  • Must have 4+ years of experience in SRE, platform engineering, or backend development roles.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to access requirements for export-controlled information or facilities.
  • Must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Experience with Rust, gRPC, HashiCorp Consul, FedRAMP/IL5, or ArgoCD is preferred.
