What you'll do

• Lead, mentor and guide other engineers in architecting and writing code in idiomatic Rust.
• Consult in architectural discussions that consider how to best operate and observe graph routing software in customer’s infrastructure stacks.
• Communicate your ideas and designs clearly and up front, aligning with technical Product Managers on their designs and documenting them for end users.
• Collaborate with other engineers across the organization and within our open source community using supportive communication and constructive code-reviews.  

Who you are

• You understand operational expectations for running API infrastructure, including deployment strategies, optimization techniques, extensibility and observability needs and performance characteristics. It's a plus if you have a strong understanding of GraphQL.
• You are knowledgeable in cloud and systems technologies, including both the architectural principles and the specific tools of the trade along with their strengths and weaknesses. In particular, Kubernetes knowledge is a plus.
• Collaborating, mentoring and empowering others to do their best work is core to how you work.
• You enjoy reviewing code, getting your code reviewed and seek feedback from your team early and often.
• You're pragmatic and you know how to make tradeoffs between different designs in the pursuit of urgency. You optimize for overall business goals, not just immediate technical results.
