* Proven experience developing production systems in Golang

* Collaborate across teams,contribute to architectural and development best practices

* A bias for ownership, accountability, and delivering high-quality software

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have):

* Infrastructure and networking knowledge

* Experience with Authentication, Authorization, RBAC and security best practices.

* Nvidia hardware and software (GPU, Cumulus, NVLink)

Qualities we look for:

* Set the standard: Every single day, you spot opportunities to constructively shake things up.

* Inspire the change: There's no blueprint for the future. You’ll embrace challenges and change.

* You’re real and you’re true to yourself: We cherish and celebrate diversity so you’ll feel right at home whoever you are and whoever you’re talking to, you treat everyone the same.

Why should you join us?

Here are just some of the great things you can expect from us:

* 25 days of annual leave
