Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Pallet as an employer.

What you need

  • Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, containers, networking, and distributed systems
  • Experience designing platforms, tooling, or abstractions that other engineers depend on
  • Comfortable moving from a blank document to a production deployment with minimal oversight

Nice to have

  • Experience at an early-stage startup where you helped define foundational technical decisions

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed in the posting, but a range is provided
  • The role requires being in the office five days a week, which may not suit remote work preferences
  • The company is in a high-growth phase, which can mean fast-paced changes and potential instability
  • The tech stack includes modern technologies, but the role may involve foundational work that could be less marketable in the long term
