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

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.
