📋 Description

🎯 Requirements

• Evidence of technical impact across multiple teams or a substantial product domain • Deep ownership of distributed backend systems operating at meaningful scale • Strong judgement in service boundaries, asynchronous communication, data ownership, consistency and failure modes • Deep knowledge of relational databases, transactions, concurrency and high-performance design • Track record of improving reliability, scalability, observability or developer effectiveness through durable mechanisms • Ability to influence technical direction through evidence, clarity and trusted execution rather than title • Clear communication that helps teams act on complex technical decisions • Strong engineering fundamentals and judgement to choose when to standardise, simplify or leave a system alone • Staff scope is assessed through ownership, judgement and sustained organisational impact—not years of experience or familiarity with every technology listed
