Shopify

I'm looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Shopify. Shopify is a commerce platform, receiving millions of unique visitors each month and serving billions of requests per day. I lead the Service Communication (RPC) team here, where we're responsible for all 1st party service-to-service communication. In the past year, we've built out the Cusco Platform, our blessed client/server library which product teams are using to ensure their network calls are reliable, resilient and observable. Right now, we're deep into our integration of our service mesh, which we're using Istio & Envoy to build out. Shopify has an extremely large, multi-cluster Kubernetes deployment on GKE which we're building on. We're running into scaling issues with Istio that we're not sure anyone has seen before. The team is currently in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and the USA. I'd prefer someone willing to work from one of those locations, but I'm definitely not ruling out remote for the right hire. Large-scale Kubernetes experience is desired, and experience deploying a service mesh would be a bonus.
