Job Description

Responsibilities

What You'll Do
• Design and implement control-plane services and APIs for DNS zones, records, views, policies, and
routing configuration.
• Build reliable workflows for validation, change orchestration, propagation, reconciliation, and
lifecycle management across distributed DNS infrastructure.
• Develop production services and libraries primarily in Java, with supporting automation in Python
where needed, and a strong focus on API design and correctness.
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools and agentic workflows to accelerate implementation, testing,
incident investigation, and operational automation, with appropriate human review, security, and
quality controls.
• Improve safety and operational resilience through idempotent workflows, optimistic concurrency,
auditability, rollback paths, canary releases, and feature flags.
• Own observability and operational readiness: metrics, logs, tracing, SLOs, runbooks, capacity
planning, and thoughtful on-call participation.
• Partner with DNS data plane, security, networking, and SRE teams to deliver secure, end-to-end
platform improvements.
• Contribute technical leadership through design reviews, code reviews, documentation, and
mentoring of other engineers.

Required Qualifications
• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and
operating resilient production services.
• 4+ years of hands-on experience building production-grade distributed systems, cloud services,
and/or control-plane platforms.
• Strong proficiency in Java, including production service development, concurrent programming, and
performance troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated ability to use AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows to improve
design, code generation, testing, troubleshooting, and process automation while maintaining strong
engineering judgment.
• Strong API design skills, including RESTful service design and OpenAPI/Swagger or comparable
API contracts.
• Experience designing reliable stateful workflows, including asynchronous processing, retries,
idempotency, concurrency control, and failure recovery.
• Solid understanding of Linux systems, networking fundamentals, and highly available distributed
systems.
• Experience with containers and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
