📋 Description

• Design, implement, and maintain core backend systems that are foundational to the platform • Write production code in high-impact areas, including services, shared libraries, infrastructure, and tooling • Define the security boundary for autonomous agents — user identity propagation, task-scoped tool access via a centralized Tool Shed, and sandboxing to limit blast radius • Lead the execution of technically complex projects end-to-end, from design through rollout and iteration • Debug and resolve hard production problems involving scale, data consistency, performance, and reliability • Drive architectural decisions through prototypes, code, and real implementations, not just diagrams • Establish patterns and best practices for service boundaries, APIs, data ownership, and distributed systems • Partner with engineering teams to guide major refactors and platform migrations • Make pragmatic technical trade-offs that balance velocity, quality, and long-term maintainability • Partner with product, engineering, and platform teams to execute technically complex projects • Make high-leverage architectural decisions under uncertainty, with clear trade-offs • Turn vague problems into clear technical strategies and execution plans • Raise the technical bar through deep code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on collaboration • Mentor senior engineers and help grow future technical leaders • Influence engineering direction by being a trusted technical partner who ships high-quality systems

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience at high-growth startups or large scale platforms • Demonstrated experience leading architectural design for large, distributed systems • Experience breaking down monoliths into service-oriented architectures or microservices • Deep expertise in scaling backend systems to handle high throughput and complex operational concerns • Strong understanding of auth systems, security boundary design, and distributed identity • Clear decision-making in ambiguous technical situations • Excellent communicator — able to articulate trade-offs to engineers and cross-functional partners.

🏖️ Benefits

• comprehensive health coverage • work from anywhere (remote-first workplace) • unlimited PTO - plus extra fun perks!
