The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the networking and distributed systems layer of a software platform, building low-latency services that handle heavy request volumes.

- Design a very fast request path so policy checks run on every request without noticeable delay.

- Lead customer deployments across cloud, private network and on-premises environments.
- Own a product area end to end, working in person alongside the founders.
- Spend roughly 80% of your time on engineering and 20% with customers.

- Prior work at a technology company where the underlying system is the core product.
- Clear communication and sound product judgment for working directly with customers.
