Наши требования
Hands-on experience designing and building reliable, large-scale backend systems - most Senior Engineers at Fastly have at least 5 years of relevant experience
5+ years shipping production Go as your primary language
3+ years on public APIs with external consumers. You've shipped a breaking change to customers who'd already integrated against your API. You've written a deprecation notice that actually went out
You drive projects, not just tasks. You've owned a multi-week effort end-to-end: design doc through post-launch
Good judgement on RESTful API design: resource modeling, versioning, idempotency, error semantics, pagination, OpenAPI. You've made one of these calls wrong in production and remember what it cost to clean up
You design for the people downstream of your API. The customer hitting your endpoint at 3am, the support engineer debugging their escalation, the frontend teammate integrating against your contract. You've watched a vague error message of yours confuse someone and changed how you write them since
Testing and observability as subtraction, not addition. You can name a metric you added that paid off — and one you'd delete now
Coding agents as a daily driver, not reluctantly. This team uses them heavily
