Job description

This is a remote position.

We are looking for an experienced engineer or architect who has personally designed and implemented large-scale, horizontally scalable software load balancing solutions, using technologies such as HAProxy, NGINX, or equivalent.

The objective is to learn from practical experience how software-based load balancing can provide the required capabilities without relying on hardware load balancer appliances.

Specific scope:

  • Architectures supporting hundreds of thousands of requests per second.
  • Horizontally scalable farms of software load balancers.
  • Load balancing a single application exposed through a single IP address.
  • Design approaches such as Anycast, hierarchical load balancing, or other relevant architectures.
  • Understanding the design, advantages, disadvantages, and trade-offs of these approaches.
  • Limited header rewriting requirements.
The opportunity would initially involve short-term technical consulting, with potential for further work as the project progresses.



Requirements

  • Strong experience with F5 BIG-IP
  • Hands-on experience with HAProxy, NGINX or similar software load balancers
  • Strong knowledge of HTTP, HTTPS, TCP and SSL termination
  • Experience designing high-throughput, highly available load-balancing platforms
  • Knowledge of Anycast, horizontal scaling and multi-tier load-balancing architectures
  • Experience with header/content rewriting is beneficial
Key requirement: We are specifically looking for someone with hands-on experience building and operating solutions of this type at scale, rather than someone offering a theoretical assessment.
