Software Engineer, Mirantis

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent demonstrated ability
• Solid CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, concurrency, networking, and how HTTP and databases actually work
• 4-5 years of professional software engineering, including 2-3+ years building production backend services in Go (4+ years of Go preferred)
• Strong Go fundamentals: concurrency, context propagation, error wrapping, stdlib HTTP routing (Go 1.22+)
• Experience building and shipping REST APIs, and a working understanding of versioning and backward compatibility
• Solid relational database skills — schema design, migrations, transactions, and query tuning
• Testing discipline: unit and integration tests are part of your definition of done, alongside code review and CI/CD (GitHub Actions or equivalent)
• Clear written English for design docs, review comments, and asynchronous collaboration across global time zones
• The "I'll figure it out" instinct — you research, experiment, and read source code before asking to be unblocked, and you ask a well-formed question when you are
• Something you built and can walk us through in detail: what it does, why you designed it that way, and what you would change now
• Willingness to be reviewed rigorously and to treat feedback as the fastest way to get better
• Testing instinct — you can explain how you know your own code works

Desirable

• We are looking for a backend engineer to build the Go services behind the k0rdent-ai platform — the multi-tenant control plane for enterprise GPU infrastructure
• As AI workloads scale globally, you will collaborate with engineering teams across the US, Europe, and India to design and develop the API-first services that power this ecosystem
• You will own features end to end — API contract, service, schema, orchestration, tests, and packaging — with senior engineers alongside you for design review and support
• We do not expect you to arrive knowing our whole stack; we expect strong Go and API fundamentals, and the appetite to learn the rest quickly
• Working within an agile framework, you will directly impact the reliability and correctness of the infrastructure our customers run in production
• Build Go microservices, model database schemas, and write migrations for the multi-tenant k0rdent AI platform
• Design public REST APIs with OpenAPI, along with multi-language SDKs
• Implement durable orchestration in Temporal — idempotency, retries, timeouts, determinism constraints
• Build event-driven, asynchronous communication between services on a distributed streaming or message-broker platform
• Implement authentication and authorization boundaries across an enterprise IAM platform and an API gateway — OIDC/JWT, service-to-service auth, tenant-scoped RBAC, gateway routing, and rate limiting
• Contribute to the identity model — standards-based user and group lifecycle provisioning (SCIM), and unifying authorization between the platform's API permissions and Kubernetes-native RBAC
• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests as part of every change
• Instrument services for production — structured logging, metrics, and audit trails
• Package and ship services with Docker, Helm, and Kubernetes
• Review peers' code and debug incidents to root cause with regression coverage
