Lead Software Engineer

Exoware is the managed infrastructure offering built around Commonware, an open-source framework for high-performance decentralized systems. The software powering Exoware largely exists in alpha form, and the production environment needs to be built around it. The role involves building the systems required to deploy, scale, monitor, secure, and recover Exoware in production, including infrastructure automation as well as writing software to drive that automation. There is no mature production environment to inherit, and the initial approach will be cloud-first and pragmatic, using proven systems where they make sense.

Responsibilities

Build Exoware's production environment from the ground up; Automate deployment, scaling, upgrades, and recovery; Build CI/CD, monitoring, telemetry, and operational tooling; Design for data safety, availability, and security; Work across Kubernetes, ECS, cloud services, and related infrastructure; Write software that improves how Exoware is deployed and operated; Feed production insights back into the underlying software

Requirements

Built production infrastructure for real systems at a meaningful scale; Greenfield production infrastructure; Distributed or stateful systems; Cloud infrastructure and orchestration; Kubernetes, ECS, or similar systems; CI/CD and deployment automation; Observability, reliability, and recovery; Networking, storage, or systems software; Comfortable writing code, making architectural decisions, and creating the production environment rather than inheriting one
