Senior Systems Architect - HAProxy Edge (m/f)

Opis posla

        - Scale and Impact: Design solutions that handle multi-million request-per-second traffic volumes and complex attack patterns, directly influencing global web performance and security.
- Core Technology Focus: HAProxy is the heart of our service. You will work with and contribute to custom-compiled, mission-critical versions of HAProxy Enterprise.
- High-Quality, Low-Firefighting: We enforce an absolute intolerance for technical debt. The platform is intentionally designed to be extremely hands-off. Your primary focus will be on greenfield development and architectural design, not routine bug fixes. When we deal with attacks, the outcome is always an automated, future-proof solution.
- Global, Self-Directed Team: Join a globally distributed, remote-first team where you are empowered to be self-managed and self-motivated, we hire skilled engineers who take ownership.

Uvjeti:
This role is for an Intermediate to Expert-level engineer who is fundamentally a systems architect and a highly capable developer.

Essential Technical skills:
- HAProxy: Hands-on experience configuring, optimizing, and troubleshooting HAProxy or comparable high-performance reverse proxies/load balancers.
- Systems and Networking Mastery: Strong to expert knowledge of Linux internals, distributed systems, and core internet protocols including IP, TCP, HTTP, DNS, and BGP.
- Programming Proficiency: Demonstrated ability to write production-quality, maintainable code in Python, C, or advanced shell scripting.
- Database/Observability Experience: Familiarity with high-volume data platforms like Postgres, TimescaleDB, Elasticsearch/Kibana for monitoring and analysis.
- Configuration Management: Experience with Ansible or other comparable configuration management/automation tools.

Essential non-technical skills:
- Self-Motivated and Autonomous: Given the small, global nature of the team, you must be a self-starter who defines their own work, manages their time effectively, and takes full ownership of projects from conception to global deployment.
- Unwavering Quality Standards: A demonstrated history of prioritizing quality, reliability, and architectural soundness over speed. A personal insistence on minimal technical debt is required.
- Architectural Vision: The ability to look beyond the immediate problem and design scalable, resilient systems that anticipate future growth and use-cases.
- Fluent in English: We work in an international context where English is used company-wide.

Benefiti:
As a member of our small core team, your work will be foundational, spanning architecture, development, and high-performance operations.
- HAProxy-Centric Architecture: Design, implement, and optimize highly resilient, high-performance global network architectures, with a deep focus on HAProxy configuration language and its custom modules for traffic manipulation, defense, and routing.
- System Development & Automation: Write high-quality, efficient code to automate the management, deployment, and scaling of the global ADN platform. This includes advanced scripting and development in: Python, C (for lower-level optimizations/integration), and advanced shell scripting.
- Attack Mitigation Design: Research, architect, and deploy new layers of defense against sophisticated web attacks (DoS, scraping, exploitation), with an emphasis on creating automated, self-healing, and self-managing mitigation systems.
- Observability & Data Engineering: Work with our core data systems including TimescaleDB, Postgres, and the ELK stack to enhance monitoring, performance analysis, and architectural insight for a service generating petabytes of data.
- Future Platform Evolution: Drive the technical design and implementation for the shift from a white-glove model to a robust, fully featured self-service customer portal.
- Tooling and Operations: Own and evolve our large-scale, declarative configuration management system, currently built on Ansible, while planning its future transformation.
