skills: go, zig, rust, c, ebpf, criu, kubernetes, x86, containerd, gvisor, linux kernel internals
We make Architect: a Kubernetes runtime that hibernates idle pods in place and wakes them in 50ms with TCP connections intact. Five engineers. You'd be the 6th.

If tracing an x86 instruction in the morning and hunting a control-plane race in the afternoon both sound fun, and you insist on measuring rather than guessing, this is the job.

Customers run Architect for workloads where cold starts hurt: real-time voice & video AI agents, long-warming JVM apps, stateful data services that can't be rescheduled cheaply. 1.0 shipped Q1 2026; you'd join mid-way through 2.0. Seed-stage, VC-funded, a few years of runway. Fully distributed across the Americas and Europe.

What you'd work on:

- Hibernation surface: containerd shims and CRUISE, our Zig-native CRIU replacement.

- Control plane: per-node DaemonSet streaming checkpoints; admission controller resizing hibernated pods in place.

- Networking and migration: eBPF/XDP at line rate; cross-node live migration to production; cross-cloud next.

You're a senior generalist. Years across the stack: assembly to frontends, hardware-near, comfortable in x86. Tests ship with the code, decisions get worked out in writing, and you measure rather than guess. Strong in Go; willing to use Zig, Rust, or C.

Bonus: eBPF/XDP, CRIU, Linux kernel internals, containerd, gVisor, live migration, or public writing in kernel/container/eBPF land. Strong systems depth and the willingness to pick up the rest is enough on its own.
