In this role, you will
Own the API and Kubernetes Gateways API stacks and their CRDs: routing, TLS/mTLS, rate limiting, and observability.
Drive large-scale infrastructure migrations (for example, HAProxy → Envoy) across every zone with one audit-log shape and no customer-visible regression.
Manage networking and traffic at scale: L4/L7 proxying, load balancing, global routing, live failover to healthy backends, encrypted transport, and performance tuning.
Set technical direction across the gateway stack and define the engineering standards the team follows.
Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, lead post-mortems, and act as a bridge across teams and to leadership.
Who You Are
Production experience writing Go.
Deep experience with networking and traffic infrastructure: L4/L7 load balancing, reverse proxies (Envoy, HAProxy, or NGINX), or API gateways.
Deep Kubernetes experience, ideally with the Gateway API or Ingress, operators and controllers, and running multiple clusters and the applications deployed across them.
A strong grounding in TLS/mTLS and edge and authentication concerns, plus performance tuning of network-facing services.
A track record of setting technical direction and leading initiatives across teams.
Clear communication about your technical contributions and cross-team collaboration.
7+ years of experience building and operating backend systems
Bachelors degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience
Preferred
Experience leading a large-scale infrastructure migration end to end.
Experience operating a high-traffic edge or gateway as a production choke point: monitoring, runbooks, and incident response.
Experience with certificate issuance and rotation (for example, via Vault) and with multi-zone or federated control planes.
Interest in a technical-leadership or engineering-management path.
10+ years of experience building and operating backend systems
