Luxor Technology is focused on harnessing and trading compute power through their platform, Tenki. They are seeking a Golang Engineer to build core infrastructure and maintain gRPC API services, while collaborating with teams to ensure robust API design and implementation.
Responsibilities:
- Architect, maintain, and evolve our core gRPC API services, based on ConnectRPC
- Design and operate a private, programmable microservices fabric that securely connects our microservices across the platform
- Manage identity services on top of the Ory stack: Kratos, Keto, and Hydra
- Develop DDoS mitigation strategies - anticipating and countering adversaries
- Build high-performance Golang gRPC services from the ground up, built to scale to millions of users - and eventually billions
- Define and implement infrastructure following immutable principles, enabling full tear-down, failover, and rapid reconstruction
- Drive ideas from concept to reality by writing clear Engineering Requirement Documents and translating them into actionable plans and measurable outcomes
- Collaborate with our Applications (TypeScript) and Platform teams to expose robust, well-designed APIs for internal and future external consumers
Requirements:
- Proficient Golang engineer with deep experience building high-performance, concurrent applications
- Strong track record of architecting and maintaining gRPC services
- Experience implementing or managing identity services (Ory stack: Kratos, Keto, Hydra, or similar OIDC/OAuth2 providers)
- Understanding of underlying overlay networking (e.g., WireGuard, service mesh) that connects microservices securely
- Experience anticipating adversarial behavior (DDoS) and implementing mitigation strategies
- Experience with Immutable Infrastructure design principles
- Ability to write clear Engineering Requirement Documents and translate abstract concepts into actionable technical plans
- Ability to build monitors, define error boundaries, and document operational expectations
- Ability to thrive in ambiguity and set direction in an early-stage environment
- Demonstrated grit and ownership in problem-solving and scaling solutions
- Bonus points for experience with ConnectRPC
- Experience leveraging eBPF or traffic shaping techniques
