As a Staff Engineer on the NOVA Cloud team, you'll lead the architecture for our cloud platform, designing service boundaries, APIs, and plugin infrastructure. You'll own services end-to-end, bring structure to complex technical problems, and set the standard for how the team builds and operates cloud-native infrastructure. This is a role for a senior engineer who thinks beyond features and cares deeply about how systems fit together.

Activities

• Drive the architecture of our cloud platform with extensibility and scalability in mind
• Accelerate the NOVA platform by building NOVA Cloud - the orchestration layer for NOVA
• OS instances that extends the NOVA ecosystem with new capabilities
• Design integration patterns and APIs that allow external services and plugins to connect reliably
• Think through multi-tenancy, service boundaries, and ecosystem design from the ground up
• Implement backend services and own them end-to-end, from design through production
• Evolve our Kubernetes-based infrastructure
• Experience in developing helm charts, GitOps
• Define how services communicate, authenticate, and scale
• Bring structure to complex technical problems and take others along with you

Requirements

- In-depth experience designing distributed, cloud-native systems, not just building features within them
- Strong architectural thinking: service boundaries, API design, extensibility patterns
- Experience building platforms that other systems or teams integrate against
- Kubernetes in real production environments
- Cloud expertise
- Authentication and authorization at the platform level (OAuth2, OIDC, RBAC)
- Message broker experience (NATS or similar)
- Experience in TypeScript backend development

Nice To Have:

- Experience designing plugin or marketplace ecosystems
- Production ownership experience
- Mature CI/CD thinking
