Comfort participating in on-call rotations and managing production incidents.
Proactive, ownership-driven mindset with strong communication skills.
Nice to have
Experience with Python.
Experience in a SaaS, database, or systems-level product company.
Experience in LoadBalancers / Proxy (i.e. Envoy)
Familiarity with observability standards like OpenTelemetry.
Contributions to open-source projects.

A remote-first, international team working on cutting-edge AI infrastructure.
A competitive salary with additional perks.
Flexible working hours and async-friendly culture.
High ownership and real impact.
Open-source, engineering-driven culture.
Choose your own laptop equipment.
