• Ensure best practices around cloud networking, load balancing, and environment security

Required Skills & Experience:

• 5+ years of experience in backend or infrastructure-focused software engineering
• Strong proficiency in Golang for infrastructure and API development
• Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Proven background in infrastructure as code (IaC) methodologies (excluding Terraform)
• Experience with unit testing and BDD frameworks (e.g., Cucumber)
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals: HTTP, routing, load balancing, etc.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Experience with identity and access frameworks (OpenID, federated identity)
• Familiarity with NoSQL databases such as DynamoDB
• Background in cloud-based AI/ML platforms is a plus

Work Environment:

• 100% remote team distributed across U.S. time zones
• Agile, fast-moving cloud infrastructure project supporting advanced R&D use cases
