Infrastructure Software Engineer

ABOUT NAMESPACE

We build high-performance developer infrastructure for developers.

Our flagship product is a high-performance specialized compute platform. Teams on Namespace consistently report faster iterations and happier developers (fast build and test, lower time to merge, etc).

We love to build for developers, and measure success on helping engineering teams ship fast with confidence.

We build full stack: from our own hardware, up through our global compute workload scheduler, storage systems, application integrations, and more. 

We build developer infrastructure, but we treat it as production: 24x7 availability, and high performance with tight SLAs.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Own the software that drives our hardware. You’ll write the control planes, automation, and observability that keep our global fleet fast, efficient, and reliable, while charting a path to scale that continues to increase the number of “machines under management” per engineer.

What you'll do

• Automate the fleet – build services for provisioning, health checks, upgrades, and incident remediation.
• Uphold reliability – embed observability, graceful degradation, and rollback paths into every layer you touch.
• Architect the network – design and evolve a high-throughput, low-latency fabric tailored to our high performance use-cases.
• Ship software, not scripts – develop clean, testable code (mostly Go) that treats our fleet like a first-class API.
• Drive efficiency – improve utilization and power-to-performance ratios so capacity grows slower than usage.
• Partner across the stack – work with product, infra, and platform teams to scope and deliver features like storage-aware scheduling, cache volumes, and other developer-facing features.

• Proven experience engineering large-scale infrastructure—writing the software that runs fleets, not just operating existing hyperscalers.
• Depth in network architecture, data-center design, and performance tuning.
• Hands-on time deploying and managing compute hardware at scale (servers, switches, etc).
• Fluency with modern orchestration and automation tooling (Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible—plus the judgment to know when to build vs. buy).
• A track record of delivering reliable systems and measurable efficiency gains.

We care deeply about the wellbeing of our employees and about creating a healthy team culture.

• Competitive salary
• Above-market equity in the company (options)
• Remote work possible
• Regular team events
• Flexible working
• Market-leading parental leave
