The posting

About the Team

Born at X, Google's Moonshot Factory, Taara is on a mission to connect billions of people lacking abundant and affordable internet today by pioneering the way we use light to deliver faster, cheaper, more reliable connectivity. Lead the charge in bringing our groundbreaking wireless optical communication and photonics chip technologies to the world. Drive our growth story as we scale innovative solutions across the world. Join us to light the way for bridging the digital divide and illuminating the future.

About the Role

As a Senior Backend Software Engineer, Cloud & Infrastructure at Taara, you will be the architect of the "brains" behind our global network. While our hardware creates the links, your software manages them. You will design and scale the distributed systems, APIs, and cloud-native infrastructure that monitor, control, and optimize our wireless optical terminals in the field.

The ideal candidate is a generalist who thrives on building reliable, scalable backend systems. You are comfortable jumping between writing high-performance Go services, architecting data pipelines for massive telemetry streams, and automating cloud infrastructure.

How you will make 10x impact:

- Scale the Control Plane: Design and implement the cloud-native backend responsible for managing thousands of global optical terminals.

- Architect Telemetry Pipelines: Build robust data ingestion and processing systems to handle real-time performance metrics from the field.

- Bridge Edge and Cloud: Collaborate with embedded engineers to define how hardware communicates with the cloud, ensuring secure and efficient data flow.

- Automate Everything: Lead the "Infrastructure as Code" (IaC) strategy to ensure our global deployments are reproducible and resilient.

- Drive Observability: Develop the tools and dashboards that allow our Network Operations Center (NOC) to troubleshoot complex optical links instantly.

What you should have:

- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

- Cloud Proficiency: 4+ years of experience building and deploying scalable services on GCP, AWS, or Azure.

- Core Languages: Strong proficiency in Golang, Typescript, and/or Python.

- Distributed Systems: Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes) and distributed systems architecture.

- API Design: Proven track record of designing and maintaining clean, scalable APIs (gRPC, REST).

- Data Systems: Experience with relational databases, NoSQL, timeseries databases (e.g., Prometheus), and message brokers (e.g., Pub/Sub, Kafka).

- Cloud Security: Experience with security best practices, least-privilege model, defining IAM roles/policies, and use of public key cryptography.

- Location: Ability to work in the Sunnyvale office at least 3 days per week.

It would be great if you also had these:

- IaC Experience: Familiarity with Terraform, Pulumi, or Ansible.

- Full-Stack Curiosity: Interest in (or experience with) Angular/React/TypeScript for internal monitoring tools.

- Networking Knowledge: Understanding of L2/L3 networking, VPNs, and secure tunneling.

- Startup Mindset: Experience working in fast-paced environments where you might need to wear multiple hats.

- Hardware Interface: Experience or interest in how cloud services interact with physical IOT or networking hardware.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
