Qureos Mentor

Orbis Operations

<div>Orbis is seeking a Staff Network Engineer to define architecture across a feature area or entire subsystem of Catalyst &mdash; our secure, multi-cluster service mesh platform &mdash; and set the patterns that other engineers follow. You will own the technical roadmap for your area, whether that is the event-driven control plane, the proxy-based data plane, the policy authorization system, or the federation and peering layer. This is a high-impact role for someone who has shaped platform architecture and wants to set technical direction for a team building critical infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
<ul><li>Define architecture across multiple feature areas or subsystems; set patterns and standards that other engineers follow</li>
<li>Own the technical roadmap for your area; make build-vs-integrate decisions for platform capabilities</li>
<li>Drive reliability strategy: define SLOs/SLAs, lead incident response for critical cross-component issues, and architect for resilience</li>
<li>Define QA philosophy and test pyramid strategy for your product area; own quality gates in the deployment pipeline</li>
<li>Translate multi-source insight &mdash; operational data, customer feedback, competitive landscape &mdash; into architectural and roadmap decisions</li>
<li>Define AI tooling strategy for your area; own agentic workflow architecture and make build-vs-integrate decisions for AI-assisted features</li>
<li>Grow team capability through deliberate coaching; mentor senior engineers toward staff-level thinking</li>
</ul>
Required Qualifications
<ul><li>7+ years of experience with a track record of shaping platform or infrastructure areas, not just features</li>
<li>Comprehensive understanding of service mesh platform architecture: management plane (control plane orchestrator, token service, policy engine, observability) and data plane (proxy, DNS); deep knowledge of the separation of concerns between planes</li>
<li>Ability to explain how BGP&rsquo;s design principles inform multi-cluster mesh federation across all key dimensions: autonomous systems as cluster nodes, route advertisements as service registrations, path arrays for loop prevention, full table sync on session establishment, delta updates, keepalive/hold timers, encrypted RPC session transport, and where the analogy breaks down</li>
<li>Thorough understanding of worker thread architectures that isolate I/O from a main event loop: dedicated threads for peer connection management (using state machine frameworks), atomic filesystem-based configuration writers, and DNS zone generators &mdash; each following entry point / logic / pure builder patterns</li>
<li>Complete understanding of certificate-bound token services: ECDSA P-384 (ES384) signing, certificate thumbprint binding (RFC 8705), stateless architectures, JWKS endpoints, and per-service token scoping</li>
<li>Ability to articulate the tradeoffs between authorization model generations: application-layer per-RPC JWT auth vs. network-layer per-request mTLS-based policy enforcement across dimensions of scope, granularity, principal identity, deployment topology, and fault impact</li>
<li>Has set technical direction others followed and can point to a platform subsystem and explain what they built and what they&rsquo;d do differently</li>
<li>Applicants must include a link to their GitHub profile within their resume, demonstrating relevant code repositories, projects, and contributions that reflect their technical experience and capabilities.</li>
<li>Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance</li>
</ul>
Preferred Qualifications
<ul><li>Experience designing or extending event-sourced or journal-backed state systems with crash recovery and deterministic replay</li>
<li>Track record of defining team norms, working agreements, and communication standards that improve delivery velocity and quality</li>
<li>Experience leading hiring for senior and staff-level infrastructure or platform roles</li>
<li>Experience advising leadership on platform capability investments and the evolving role of AI in infrastructure development</li>
<li>Background in national security, intelligence, or defense environments with direct understanding of mission-critical operational requirements</li>
<li>Willingness to travel 10&ndash;20% for customer engagement, architecture reviews, or team collaboration</li>
</ul>
Physical Requirements
<ul><li>Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.</li>
<li>Routine video conference and/or in-person meetings.</li>
<li>Up to 10-20% domestic and international travel required</li>
</ul>
