As a senior engineer on the team, you’ll own large, open-ended projects, such as making login faster and safer, letting a node fail without ending a fleet engagement, or finding where the latency in an RPC path goes. You’ll define the problem, propose a direction, split the work into pieces that each ship something useful, and build them with the team, supporting our most critical workloads.\nYour Tasks\nTake a goal like “improve authentication”, talk to the people it affects, and write a design that breaks it into milestones.\nLay out the tradeoffs (reliability, cost, effort, risk) and bring the team and stakeholders to an agreement.\nWrite production code, mostly in Go, from service interfaces and data models to the messaging between services, and take your design through review to launch.\nEstimate throughput, storage and latency before you build, then load test and failure test the result.\nWork out how state is partitioned, replicated and cached, so a bad node degrades one region while the rest of the cluster keeps running.\nExplain your designs to engineers and non-technical stakeholders, review other people’s work, and mentor.\nYour Profile\nYou push clean, tested code in at least one language, such as Go, Python, Rust, Java, C++, C# or TypeScript. We write mostly in Go and expect you to pick it up quickly if you don’t know it.\nYou break large, ambiguous problems into smaller ones and work through them systematically.\nYou can design a system end to end, with realistic estimates for each component, and explain the tradeoffs.\nYou know data structures and complexity, concurrency, how data stores behave as they grow, and why networks and services fail.\nYou’ve led a project from a fuzzy idea to a shipped result, delivering in increments.\nYou use excellent written and spoken communication skills to communicate and influence technical choices clearly, tailoring trade-offs for each audience.\nYou measure what you build and use the data to choose what comes next.\nYou may lean toward software design or toward how systems fit together, but a blend of both is the perfect sweet spot.\nNice to have\nPrior hands-on experience with distributed systems patterns: RPC, pub/sub, message queues, event streaming, replication, partitioning.\nPrior experience running services on AWS, Azure or Kubernetes.\nPrior exposure to tracing, metrics and structured logging (OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus or similar).\nPhilosophical inclinations towards infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible or similar).\nPrior experience with enough UNIX and networking (TCP/IP, load balancing) to debug your own systems.\nA degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience.\nWhat We Can Offer You\nThe inspiring opportunity of working on the award winning MMO EVE Online in cooperation with amazingly talented and passionate co-workers.\nA multicultural work environment that encourages growth, creativity and innovation.\nDouble work station setup and flexible work environment.\nA lively fun division that hosts regular events.\nAn excellent canteen that offers a weekly breakfast and lunch menu as well as drinks and snacks.\nDiscretionary quarterly and annual performance sharing plan.\nAnnual sports grant.\nA mobile phone as well as a mobile usage package.\nHome internet.\nA conditional monthly transportation grant.\nWork environment that focuses on employee well-being.\nOn-site doctor, free of charge as well as other on-site services at a discounted price.\nRelocation Package.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3705,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible
