Lead Go Software Engineer (Platform / Orchestration)

Quick Facts

• Role: Lead Software Engineer (Platform / Orchestration)
• Focus: End-to-end Go install architecture and orchestration engine (Validate → Actuate with dry-run/policy gates → Evidence)
• Team: Lead a team of 3 engineers

Description

You will own the end-to-end install architecture and Go orchestration engine, including validation, actuation with dry-run/policy gates, and evidence generation. You’ll provide technical leadership while driving platform work across infrastructure automation and Kubernetes day-2 operations. You’ll also build reusable CI/CD workflows and OpenAPI-aligned automation APIs.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end install architecture and Go orchestration engine (Validate, Actuate with dry-run/policy gates, Evidence)
• Lead and review platform work across Terraform, Terragrunt-style IAM/bootstrap, kOps, Helmfile, Kubernetes day-2 operations, and multi-account AssumeRole
• Orchestrate blank-account delivery, including config contracts, rollback/teardown, and kill-switch/safe-stop mechanisms
• Build the first healthy application pipeline (reusable GHA workflows, runners, IRSA, and ECR image-sync wiring)
• Design OpenAPI-aligned automation APIs and decide-vs-execute patterns
• Prioritize across platform, backend, and media workstreams to keep pods sequenced
• Follow production software engineering practices across repos and runbooks
• Use daily AI coding assistants (e.g., Cursor or Claude Code) with careful review of code and IaC
• Work from real GitHub Enterprise repos without inventing paths or cloud facts
• Implement IaC change control (plan, dual approve/sign, apply via org-approved Terraform CLI workflow; avoid freestyle apply)
• Maintain deploy path through GitHub Actions reusable workflows, self-hosted runners, and IRSA as the primary model
• Provide clear English communication for technical handoffs

Requirements

• 5+ years of Go experience, including CLI and HTTP service development, multi-step waves, concurrency, idempotent flows, and evidence/smoke outputs
• Expertise in Terraform via the approved CLI workflow, Terragrunt-style IAM/bootstrap, and kOps
• Proficiency with Helmfile, Kubernetes day-2 operations, and multi-account AssumeRole
• Background building reusable GitHub Actions (GHA) workflows, runners, IRSA, and ECR with image-sync wiring
• Knowledge of OpenAPI-aligned automation APIs and decide-vs-execute patterns
• Skills in prioritizing across platform, backend, and media workstreams
• Familiarity with daily AI coding assistants (Cursor or Claude Code) with careful review of code and IaC
• Understanding of IaC change control processes: plan, dual approve/sign, and apply workflows
• Clear English communication for technical handoffs
