Job Summary

Join Persona’s Edge team as an early engineer responsible for the traffic path from clients through Cloudflare-backed ingress to the service mesh. You’ll own edge networking configuration, evolve the ingress API, manage DNS across clusters, and build network observability. You’ll shape engineering practices, expand networking into new geographies, and ship features that improve performance and reliability for a wide range of customers.

Location: United States

Workplace: Remote

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Software Engineering

Key Responsibilities

•Own edge networking configuration: routing, WAF policy, rate limiting, certificate management, driving toward a model where engineers ship traffic changes without waiting on infra. We use Cloudflare extensively but not exclusively.
•Evolve the ingress layer (controllers, lifecycle, policy, Ingress API) so inbound traffic is reliable, observable, and self-service
•Manage DNS across internal clusters and external zones so name resolution is invisible by design
•Build network-layer observability: latency, error rates, routing visibility that surfaces problems before they become incidents
•Support Persona's regional expansion by extending networking into new geographies and ensuring regional expansion is scalable, performant, and maintainable

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 130,000 - 220,000 annually

Equity and Bonus:Equity

Perks:Health InsuranceDentalVision401kPaid LeaveLearning Budget

Key Requirements

•Experience building and shipping production services in a polyglot environment (Go, TypeScript, or similar). You should enjoy the pros/cons of different languages — a zealot is unlikely to enjoy working in our garden.
•Experience diagnosing production issues at the network layer, including understanding how proxies and load balancers can obscure the real source of a problem. You should enjoy deep, methodical investigatory work — but also have the chops to quickly take on triage and solutioning should an emergency arise.
•Kubernetes networking in practice: ingress controllers, DNS, network policies, not just running workloads.
•Manages infrastructure as code in practice, not just in principle. Change safety and governance should be a feature not a bug — and you enjoy designing those processes so they appear low-friction while having real teeth.
•Experience building internal platforms or tools with a track record of driving adoption across engineering teams. We love OSS and hope to continue contributing, but we also need to unblock ourselves today when external tools fall short.
