Senior Software Engineer

About the role

Want to build the future of the cloud?

Overclock Labs is building the open source Supercloud, a distributed marketplace for cloud compute where anyone can become a provider by offering unused capacity, and anyone can access the cloud and become sovereign at scale. The work spans both the open source Akash protocol and the closed source products built around the Akash Network marketplace.

As more of the internet moves to the cloud, Overclock Labs is materializing that vision in an industry projected to reach over $2 trillion by 2030. Behind the Akash Network is Overclock Labs (OCL), the creators and core contributors to the Akash Network and the team building the products on top of it. OCL is remote-first, distributed, and growing, offering room to grow and make an impact at the intersection of AI, cloud, and decentralized infrastructure.

The Role:

As a Software Engineer on the core engineering team, you will build and ship the chain and provider software the marketplace runs on. This is hands-on work across the Akash node and provider: writing Go, testing network upgrades, resolving provider issues in Kubernetes, and helping shape the feature specs that define new protocol capabilities. Because the team develops in the open, clear technical documentation is part of the job, from feature specs to upgrade and provider guidance. The role also contributes to closed source Overclock Labs efforts such as AkashML and Akash Homenode.

Your Sphere of Impact: - Build and maintain core features in Go across the Akash node and provider daemon

-

Design, test, and ship network upgrades, validating behavior on testnet before mainnet rollout

-

Diagnose and resolve provider-side issues in Kubernetes, from gateway and networking to workload orchestration across an independently operated provider fleet

-

Maintain the gRPC and protobuf API definitions and code generation shared by the node and provider

-

Cut, sign, and release provider and node software

-

Write feature specs and technical documentation that help providers, developers, and teammates understand and adopt new features

-

Contribute to closed source Overclock Labs products such as AkashML and Akash Homenode

-

Think creatively about attack vectors, failure handling, and other non-functional requirements

-

Continuously raise the standard of engineering excellence through best practices for coding, testing, and deployment

Requirements: -

Strong, current experience writing Go in production

-

Hands-on Kubernetes experience, including debugging real workloads, networking, and cluster issues

-

Expert knowledge of systems design concepts and distributed computing

-

Keen eye for modeling scenarios in reproducible test environments
