Job Description

Golang Engineer helping build cloud-based infrastructure for Tenki's compute markets. Architecting gRPC API services and collaborating with cross-functional teams for application development.

Responsibilities:

  • Architect, maintain, and evolve our core gRPC API services, based on ConnectRPC
  • Design and operate a private, programmable microservices fabric that securely connects our microservices across the platform
  • Manage identity services on top of the Ory stack: Kratos, Keto, and Hydra
  • Develop DDoS mitigation strategies - anticipating and countering adversaries.
  • Build high-performance Golang gRPC services from the ground up, built to scale to millions of users - and eventually billions.
  • Define and implement infrastructure following immutable principles, enabling full tear-down, failover, and rapid reconstruction.
  • Drive ideas from concept to reality by writing clear Engineering Requirement Documents and translating them into actionable plans and measurable outcomes.
  • Collaborate with our Applications (TypeScript) and Platform teams to expose robust, well-designed APIs for internal and future external consumers.

Requirements:

  • You are a proficient Golang engineer: You have deep experience building high-performance, concurrent applications and know how to squeeze performance out of the language when scaling to millions of users.
  • You live and breathe APIs: You have a strong track record of architecting and maintaining gRPC services (bonus points for ConnectRPC) and creating robust, documented contracts for internal and external consumers.
  • You understand Identity & Auth: You have implemented or managed identity services (Ory stack: Kratos, Keto, Hydra, or similar OIDC/OAuth2 providers) and understand the complexities of securing user data.
  • You have a "Systems" mindset: You aren’t just an application developer; you understand the underlying overlay networking (e.g., WireGuard, service mesh) that connects microservices securely.
  • You build for resilience and security: You have experience anticipating adversarial behavior (DDoS) and implementing mitigation strategies, perhaps leveraging eBPF or traffic shaping techniques.
  • You practice Immutable Infrastructure: You design systems where servers are cattle, not pets - enabling full tear-down, failover, and rapid reconstruction without manual intervention.
  • You define the standard: You don't just write code; you drive the engineering process by writing clear Engineering Requirement Documents and translating abstract concepts into actionable technical plans.
  • You implement with care: You build the monitors, define the error boundaries, and document operational expectations so that the platform remains maintainable by others long after you’ve pushed the code.
  • You thrive in ambiguity: You can set direction in an early-stage environment where priorities shift and clarity must be created, not awaited.
  • You bring grit and ownership: You dive deep into problems, ship pragmatic solutions, scale them as demand grows, and replace them when the time comes.

Benefits:

  • Tenki connects *producers* of compute with a growing universe of *consumers*. Producers get transparent pricing, predictable settlement, and access to global demand. Consumers get simple, developer-friendly access to high-quality compute at competitive prices.
  • DDoS mitigation strategies - anticipating and countering adversaries.
  • Drive ideas from concept to reality by writing clear Engineering Requirement Documents and translating them into actionable plans and measurable outcomes.
  • Collaborate with our Applications (TypeScript) and Platform teams to expose robust, well-designed APIs for internal and future external consumers.
