Senior Infrastructure Engineer

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the networking and distributed systems layer of a software platform, building low-latency services that handle heavy request volumes. Divide your time between hands-on engineering and working directly with customers on their deployments.

What you'll do

• Build protocol-aware proxies and gateways that handle several kinds of network traffic.
• Design a very fast request path so policy checks run on every request without noticeable delay.
• Create high-volume data pipelines and storage so activity stays searchable for investigation and analysis.
• Lead customer deployments across cloud, private network and on-premises environments.
• Own a product area end to end, working in person alongside the founders.
• Spend roughly 80% of your time on engineering and 20% with customers.

What we're looking for

• A track record of shipping and operating large-scale production systems that span many machines.
• Deep knowledge of how network protocols work at a low level, including tuning for worst-case response times.
• Prior work at a technology company where the underlying system is the core product.
• Clear communication and sound product judgment for working directly with customers.

Bonus points

• Hands-on exposure to traffic routing, request handling layers or large-scale data movement.
• Prior startup experience.

• Equity
• Relocation support
