📋 Description
• Scale Prismic’s public Content API with an eye on latency, availability, and cost. • Build customer-facing visibility into usage metrics (API calls, users, bandwidth) to empower teams to understand and optimise plans. • Implement API governance: robust rate-limiting and clear separation of public and private APIs. • Empower product teams with AI infrastructure by providing MCP-based creation workflow and seamless tooling communication. • Lead company-level platform initiatives defining reliability, scalability, and observability of core APIs. • Mentor and influence across squads, align product and infra teams around trade-offs and standards. • Debug complex distributed systems, tune queries, and land critical changes as needed.
🎯 Requirements
• Excel at architecting large-scale distributed systems and APIs that serve millions of requests daily with low latency and high reliability. • Have deep experience with API gateways, rate limiting, quota enforcement, and fair usage controls. • Think ahead about scaling challenges: multitenancy, regionalisation, data boundaries, compliance, and graceful degradation. • Care about observability: you design systems with clear metrics, traces, and logs from day one. • Balance innovation with stability: you can introduce new abstractions or architectures without compromising uptime. • Influence across squads, aligning product, infra, and teams around clear trade-offs and durable standards. • Multiply the impact of senior engineers by mentoring, reviewing, and building a culture of strong technical judgment. • Stay hands-on when needed: whether debugging a complex distributed system, tuning queries, or landing the critical change that unblocks a team. • Are curious about how AI can augment engineering, from anomaly detection to adaptive scaling, and think critically about its value. • Bonus: Proven track record of leading infrastructure or platform-wide initiatives with measurable improvements in reliability, cost, or performance. • Bonus: Experience scaling multi-region, multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
