About us

We build a distributed control plane for datacenter network fabrics. Our platform orchestrates intent-driven configuration, change management, drift remediation,



and full-stack observability across cloud-hosted services and on-prem edge appliances deployed in customer datacenters worldwide.

The role

You will own critical platform subsystems end-to-end — from design through production. You'll build and ship core distributed systems components, drive the technical quality of the codebase, and unblock the team through direct hands-on contribution. You work closely with Product, QA, and Customer Engineering to deliver quality product to stakeholders.

What you'll work on
- Distributed control plane spanning cloud services and on-prem edge appliances connected via mTLS gRPC streams
- Observability and telemetry at scale: OpenTelemetry collection pipelines, stream processing (Kafka), time-series storage (ClickHouse/VictoriaMetrics), real-time fabric state views, packet-event analysis, and fleet-wide health aggregation
- Agentic AI operations: design and build autonomous infrastructure agents that e
