Staff Software Engineer, Gather

• Software Engineering experience in Systems (OS, Distributed, Networking, etc.), Infrastructure, Security, DevOps, SRE, or related background
• Deep knowledge of Kubernetes and the networking concepts that it relies upon. Deploying apps is just the beginning — you must be able to troubleshoot when they don’t
• Have experience implementing secure by-default designs and features in cloud infrastructure endpoints, tooling, and processes
• Experience implementing metrics and monitoring, sending data to one or more of Prometheus, New Relic, or Datadog
• Programming experience with one or more of Golang, Python, or NodeJS, and the ability to write applications that communicate with APIs like Kubernetes and AWS
• Linux operational expertise: know the ins and outs of Bash scripting and how to keep a system healthy
• Experience writing and maintaining Terraform stacks
• A love for learning and growing yourself and the team around you
• Strong collaboration and communication skills
• Excitement for a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Passion for Gather and our mission to build a metaverse for all

Desirable

• You’ll be responsible for the general infrastructure that underlies Gather’s services, from our game servers to our API servers. This encompasses the infrastructure-as-code, tools, configuration, automation, and scripts that build, deploy, and run our many services in cloud environments
• In partnership with engineering leadership, you’ll implement security best-practices, guide long-term technology decisions, and build the future of Gather’s infrastructure
• Security – as Gather grows, we have ever more responsibility to ensure the safety of our systems and customer data. We need an infrastructure engineer who is security-minded. Champion the infosec cause, and build air-tight VPCs
• Networking – we need a cutting-edge and rock-solid video network. Shave latency and thrill our users…with consistency
• Canary Environments – we're constantly deploying, and that requires great care. Build the mechanisms that let us detect problems before they become an incident
• Multi-cloud Infrastructure – manage, troubleshoot, and deploy to multiple Kubernetes clusters. Spread them across multiple clouds and make sure they’re up through the worst datacenter outages
