What you'll do
- Take over Hub's fleet propagation mechanism from the team building its first version, and make it work for access, secrets, tenants, licences and custom roles
- Write short design documents for foundational changes, get them reviewed by the teams that depend on them, and turn them into tested, shipped code
- Design how Hub behaves when things go wrong: offline clusters, partial failures, Hub outages, and clusters being adopted or detached
- Build the path from clusters back to Hub, starting with deployment inventory, health, audit records and licence status
- Design Hub's first event and webhook mechanism, so admins and agents can react to changes instead of polling for them
- Join the pod's rotations and Hub on-call, and help other builders take on backend work through reviews, guidelines and contract tests
What we're looking for
- Experience building and running backend systems in production that other teams or customers depend on
- Comfort taking a problem nobody owns yet and turning it into a design, a plan and shipped code
- Product judgment for technical users: you talk to the people who use your APIs and make trade-offs on their behalf
- Clear, short writing that lets a remote team review and decide asynchronously
- Care for how a system behaves when parts of it fail, not only for the happy path
- Designed and shipped a control plane or similar system that pushes desired state to many targets
- Knows outbox or event-log patterns, idempotent apply, versioning, retries and drift reconciliation
- Senior backend engineering in Java (API design, relational data models, multi-tenant SaaS services)
- Hands-on Helm and Kubernetes for self-managed installations
- Software architecture and failure analysis: partial failure, blast radius, consistency trade-offs
- Has debugged production incidents in a distributed system and is ready for on-call
- Has shaped an API or platform as a product, and writes design docs other teams can build on
- Gets agreement across teams without formal authority
- Builds AI-first from written specifications and checks AI output as carefully as any other code
Nice to have
- Kubernetes operators or GitOps tools, for example Argo CD
- OIDC, SCIM and permission models, or secret managers and licence systems
- Camunda 8 or another workflow or orchestration engine
- Enough frontend skill to build a thin UI on top of a backend capability
