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 supporting active defense contracts. This role focuses on diagnosing and fixing stability vulnerabilities in core platform services that cause cascading failures in multi-tenant environments. The engineer will write production Go to implement resilience patterns such as leader election, circuit breakers, and failure domain isolation directly in service code. Key responsibilities include designing multi-replica support, tracing failures across service boundaries, and performing light infrastructure work using Terraform and Kubernetes. Required technical skills include production-quality Go, distributed systems experience, and debugging complex failure modes. The role addresses the technical challenge of maintaining high availability for mission-critical defense systems by resolving deep-seated reliability issues in live production environments rather than building greenfield projects.

What you'll do

  • Diagnose and fix stability vulnerabilities in core platform services causing cascading failures.
  • Write production Go code to implement resilience patterns like leader election and circuit breakers.
  • Design multi-replica support for services that currently operate as single instances.
  • Trace cascading failures across service boundaries to drive root-cause fixes.
  • Improve the observability platform to better support service stability.
  • Perform Terraform and Kubernetes changes to support necessary service fixes.
  • Conduct contract testing and upgrade validation in coordination with service owners.

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years in SRE, platform engineering, or backend development roles.
  • Production-quality Go experience for modifying core platform services.
  • Practical experience with distributed systems including leader election, consensus, replication, and failure modes.
  • Ability to debug complex systems and trace cascading failures across service boundaries.
  • Knowledge of Kubernetes to understand how services run.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Experience with Rust, gRPC, HashiCorp Consul, FedRAMP/IL5, or ArgoCD/GitOps workflows (preferred).
