Full Job Description
The Role

We are looking for strong engineers with experience and interest in designing, building, and maintaining the novel, high-performance systems that make up our platform.

Sample projects include...
  • Building VM snapshotting that restores full browser state in under a second
  • Staring at kernel traces to performance engineer our Sessions API
  • Orchestrating millions of browser sessions across regions with sub-second cold starts
  • Working with VMs, proxies, caches, task queues, and orchestration systems
  • Shipping the observability and CI/CD stack from scratch


Requirements:
  • 4+ years writing high-quality, production code
  • Experience building and operating high-performance, large-scale distributed systems (battle scars welcome)
  • Strong cloud infrastructure skills (AWS, GCP)
  • Strong knowledge of OS foundations - Linux kernel, file systems, containers, etc
  • Track record in performance optimization (we love a good "shaved 5ms" story)
  • Able to work in-person from our Toronto office
  • Rust experience is a plus, not a requirement


Applying

If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach to schedule 2-3 short technicals. After, we'll schedule an onsite in our office, where you'll work on a small project, discuss ideas, and meet the team.
