Join the Qpoint Team
Qpoint is growing rapidly and reinventing network visibility for the encrypted era. Our platform gives engineers and security teams superpowers, providing kernel-level visibility into all encrypted traffic and eliminating the critical blind spots that proxies and sidecars can't touch. We're building the tools to see the unseeable.
We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our team and own the platform that powers Qpoint—both the infrastructure we operate and the systems our customers deploy in their own environments. You'll be the engineer who keeps everything running, makes it better, and ensures our customers succeed.
What's the job to be done?
- You will design, build, and maintain the production infrastructure that powers Qpoint's hosted platform, ensuring high availability, reliability, and performance at scale.
- You will develop and improve our customer deployment experience, building robust Helm charts, binaries, and tooling that enable seamless self-hosted installations.
- You will build and extend observability and monitoring systems using Prometheus and OpenTelemetry, giving both our team and our customers deep insight into system health and behavior.
- You will own our CI/CD pipelines and testing infrastructure, building end-to-end testing environments that catch issues before they reach production.
- You will collaborate with customers and the engineering team to troubleshoot and resolve issues, sometimes reproducing customer environments to diagnose complex problems.
- You will wear multiple hats—infrastructure automation one day, improving a microservice the next, occasionally touching frontend code when needed—owning problems end-to-end.
These attributes best describe you…
- You are passionate about building reliable, well-architected systems. You take pride in infrastructure that just works.
- You are comfortable operating across the stack—you can debug a failing Kubernetes pod, optimize a database query, and review a pull request for a Go service all in the same afternoon.
- You have strong opinions about how production systems should be built and operated, but hold them loosely and collaborate well with others.
- You are customer-focused and understand that great infrastructure enables great products.
- You are self-motivated and can work independently with minimal guidance while making sound technical decisions.
- You thrive in a small team environment where ownership is high and bureaucracy is low.
What you will need
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on backend systems, platform engineering, or infrastructure.
- Strong proficiency in Go and experience building high-performance, production-grade services.
- Deep experience with Linux, networking fundamentals, and debugging production systems.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including deploying and operating workloads in production.
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automated testing infrastructure.
- Familiarity with observability tooling (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, or similar).
What else will help you be successful
- Experience with Google Cloud Platform and GKE.
- Experience with ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, or other database systems at scale.
- Familiarity with Helm for packaging and deploying Kubernetes applications.
- Experience with Cloudflare or similar edge/CDN platforms.
- Experience supporting customer deployments or building self-hosted software products.
- Exposure to frontend development (we won't ask much, but it helps).
Why Qpoint?
At Qpoint, we're solving a problem that was considered impossible: providing complete visibility into encrypted traffic without proxies, instrumentation, or code changes. As a platform engineer, you'll ensure that our technology reaches customers reliably—whether we're hosting it or they are. We are a small, high-trust team of p99 individuals, and you will have a massive impact on our product, our culture, and the reliability of infrastructure that secures some of the most sensitive data in motion.
