Cloud Engineer - Product Metrics

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Cloud Engineer - Product Metrics based in the United States.

As a Cloud Engineer focused on Product Metrics, you will contribute to the design, development, and operation of a large-scale distributed data platform that powers real-time analytics and customer-facing insights. You will work on systems that process massive volumes of events with high reliability, precision, and performance requirements. This role blends backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and data-intensive system design in a highly technical, remote-first environment. You will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to build and evolve scalable services using modern cloud-native technologies. With ownership over critical production systems, you will directly impact data quality, product reliability, and customer experience at scale. This is an opportunity to work on cutting-edge distributed systems supporting high-throughput analytics and observability workloads.

• Design, build, operate, and maintain large-scale distributed systems that process and serve product metrics data.
• Contribute to the roadmap and technical direction of the Product Metrics platform in collaboration with the team.
• Develop and enhance backend services using Golang within a cloud-native, Kubernetes-based environment.
• Ensure high performance, reliability, availability, and cost efficiency of critical data processing systems.
• Build and maintain pipelines for ingesting, storing, and retrieving large-scale event and metrics data.
• Participate in on-call rotations and take ownership of production services, including incident response and debugging.
• Collaborate with engineers across teams to deliver new features, improve system design, and iterate on platform capabilities.
• Implement observability, monitoring, and performance optimization strategies across distributed systems.
• Contribute to architectural discussions and help evolve scalable, fault-tolerant infrastructure.
• Mentor peers and participate in technical reviews to improve engineering quality and best practices.

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience building and operating scalable distributed systems.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience with Golang in production environments.
• Experience working with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Strong background in designing systems that handle large-scale data ingestion, processing, and retrieval.
• Experience with Kubernetes and related ecosystem tools (e.g., Helm, ArgoCD, Terraform, or similar IaC tools).
• Familiarity with high-volume data technologies such as ClickHouse or similar analytical databases.
• Strong debugging and production troubleshooting skills in complex distributed environments.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively in fully remote engineering teams.
• Strong ownership mindset with a focus on reliability, performance, and customer impact.
• Ability to break down complex problems into iterative, deliverable engineering solutions.

Benefits

• Competitive annual salary ranging from $141,000 to $230,000 USD, depending on location and experience.
• Fully remote work environment within the United States.
• Equity in the company through stock options.
• Comprehensive healthcare coverage with employer contributions.
• Flexible time off and generous vacation policies.
• Home office setup stipend for remote employees.
• Opportunities to work on large-scale, high-impact distributed systems.
• Strong engineering culture focused on ownership, learning, and technical excellence.
• Global team collaboration with experienced engineers working on cutting-edge infrastructure.
