Senior Software Engineer Full Time

Responsibilities:

• Scale our Go production services to hundreds of millions of users
• Build mission-critical data infrastructure that powers every API request Bluesky receives
• Build services that scale across tens of terabytes of RAM, thousands of CPU cores, and petabytes of NVME storage

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have strong fundamental programming and software engineering skills
• Have extensive experience with Go (e.g. 5+ years)
• Have built scalable backend systems (1M+ ops/sec) (e.g. data services, load balancers, etc.)
• Have familiarity with the upper limits of operating systems, networks, and storage.
• Have significant experience with database systems (e.g. Postgres, MySQL, SQLite)
• Have some experience with other data stores (e.g. Scylla/Cassandra, Redis, ClickHouse)
• Have some experience with search systems (e.g. Elasticsearch)
• Like working on small, fast-moving teams
• Have read the AT Protocol docs and want to contribute

This role is NOT a good fit for you if you:
do not use Go at your current job.

We’re especially excited if you have:
Previous experience working on infrastructure for social apps at large scale

• We’re a fully remote team, but an overlap of working hours with PST is required, and for this role, proximity and willingness to travel to Seattle is a plus. Please note, there may be an on-site component to these interviews. We offer health, dental, and vision insurance.
