What you’ll do
Technical Delivery
- Deliver end-to-end projects within the Edge domain: design, implement, test and operate systems that handle production traffic reliably and at low latency.
- Work on traffic-critical initiatives such as multi-region routing, intelligent failover, traffic policy, edge-to-mesh optimisation, CDN & proxy tuning, and DNS/routing improvements.
- Lead and coordinate the implementation work: break down projects, guide design and implementation choices, and partner with adjacent teams (SRE, Security, Product) to de-risk delivery.
- Works with their team and adjacent teams (when relevant) to deliver projects and solve problems
- Own operational readiness for services you ship: define SLOs, ensure high-signal monitoring and low-noise alerting, maintain runbooks, and participate in on-call rotations and post-incident learning.
- Mentor more junior engineers, provide constructive code and design reviews, and help raise the engineering bar within the team
We want to emphasise that we don't expect you to meet all of the below but would love you to have experience in some of these areas.
- Pride in readable, well-designed, well-tested solutions and proven ability to define and run projects from inception to delivery
