- Improve CI/CD pipelines, release processes, and production rollout safety.
- Contribute directly to product codebases across Rust, Go, and other systems languages.
- Own systems end to end, from architecture and implementation to deployment and production operation.

## Requirements
- Strong experience with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and automation.
- Deep understanding of Linux internals, performance analysis, and production debugging.
- Experience building or operating latency-sensitive, high-throughput backend systems.
- Experience with containers, orchestration, observability, and infrastructure as code.
- Experience building or maintaining CI/CD systems and release tooling.
- Fluency in at least one systems language, such as Rust, Go, C++, or Java.
- Comfort working across infrastructure and application-level code.
- Strong ownership and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment.

## Nice to Have
- Experience with search, retrieval, ranking, or other large-scale data-serving systems.
- Experience operating Rust services in production.
- Experience with AWS, Kubernetes, and modern observability systems.
- Experience with profiling, capacity planning, and performance optimization.
- Experience building AI-assisted developer or operational tooling.
