What you’ll be doing 

• Be deeply involved in evolving the core architecture of PAM.
• Work in our product development teams to build scalable, composable components of our platform.
• Be responsible for designing and implementing scalable architecture patterns.
• Design and build APIs with OpenAPI Specification that customers rely on for access to production infrastructure.

• Experienced working with any cloud provider such as AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Thrive in a collaborative environment built on end-to-end ownership.
• Love thinking about distributed systems, and the reliability, availability, and performance implications of the decisions made in their design.
• Enjoy deep-diving into production metrics, and familiarity with monitoring tools like Splunk, DataDog etc.
• Think in terms of systems, services, and APIs
