Senior Distributed Systems Engineer

• Design for Real-World Networks: Architect distributed systems that tolerate latency, bandwidth constraints, and intermittent connectivity
• Design loosely coupled services that avoid unnecessary cross-system fragility
• Implement fault-tolerant communication and state synchronization strategies
• Build Resilient Runtime Systems: Develop systems that prioritize correctness, durability, and recovery
• Implement retry logic, backpressure, caching strategies, and eventual consistency patterns
• Ensure systems degrade gracefully instead of failing catastrophically
• Own Integration Boundaries: Design and maintain APIs and communication layers between distributed components
• Identify and eliminate tight coupling across services
• Diagnose and resolve cross-system failures in production environments
• Operate Close to the Metal (When Necessary): Write efficient, production-grade code in Rust or Go
• Optimize performance and memory usage in resource-constrained environments
• Debug network behavior, concurrency issues, and distributed coordination challenges

• Extensive experience building loosely coupled distributed systems
• Have worked in environments with low bandwidth, high latency, or unreliable communication links
• Understand failure modes in distributed architectures and how to mitigate them
• Comfortable reasoning about consistency models, coordination strategies, and state replication
• Have experience writing production systems in Rust or Go
• Prefer solving systems-level problems over building thin CRUD-style services
• Care deeply about durability, reliability, and operational behavior

• Experience with edge computing or constrained network environments
• Familiarity with message queues, event-driven systems, or streaming architectures
• Background in AI/HPC-adjacent distributed systems
• Experience debugging production networking issues
• Exposure to consensus algorithms or distributed coordination primitives
