About Persona

An AI-native approach to building and shipping production services. At Persona, we believe that AI allows us to behave in fundamentally different ways than ever before. Speed is not a tradeoff, and never has been at Persona. You recognize the importance of AI and how to use AI to solve complex problems, whether through rapid prototyping or agent harnesses with self-repairing feedback loops

Responsibilities

  • Assumer la responsabilité de la configuration du réseau de périphérie, y compris le routage, la politique WAF, la limitation de débit et la gestion des certificats.
  • Contribuer à l'évolution de la couche d'ingress, y compris les contrôleurs, le cycle de vie, la politique et l'API d'ingress, afin que le trafic entrant soit fiable, observable et en libre-service.
  • Participer à l'extension de notre réseau dans de nouvelles régions à mesure que Persona se développe à l'échelle mondiale, avec des conceptions qui évoluent et restent faciles à exploiter.
  • Hands-on experience managing infrastructure as code. You treat change safety and governance as product features, and you enjoy designing processes that feel easy and still work

Requirements

  • Experience diagnosing production issues at the network layer, including tracing problems through proxies and load balancers to their real source. You enjoy deep, methodical investigation, and you move quickly to triage and fix when an incident calls for it. When AI can’t solve the problem is where the fun part begins
  • Istio or another service mesh in a multi-cluster environment
  • GKE or another managed Kubernetes platform at scale
  • A hacker's heart: you love prototyping new ideas and ways of working, and you value what experiments teach you even when they stay prototypes
