📋 Description

• Design, build, and operate production backend services using Rust and other strongly engineered backend technologies. • Own backend components from design through deployment, observability, incident learning, and ongoing maintenance. • Modernize existing systems incrementally, reducing technical debt while protecting reliability and business continuity. • Develop clean, maintainable, production-grade code with strong attention to correctness, testability, performance, and operational behavior. • Debug complex production and pre-production issues across services, data flows, infrastructure, and deployment pipelines. • Define practical service boundaries, API contracts, data models, and integration patterns that support long-term maintainability. • Improve reliability, observability, monitoring, alerting, and deployment workflows for backend systems. • Use AI-assisted and agentic coding tools to accelerate exploration, implementation, testing, debugging, and documentation while remaining accountable for final quality. • Collaborate with frontend, product, infrastructure, security, and operations partners to deliver complete and reliable product capabilities. • Evaluate architectural options and communicate trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Contribute to code reviews, design reviews, documentation, and engineering practices that raise the quality of the team. • Identify risks, simplify complex technical problems, and make pragmatic decisions in ambiguous situations.

🎯 Requirements

• Production Rust experience is required, including experience shipping, operating, debugging, and maintaining Rust services or systems in a real production environment. • Strong backend engineering experience building APIs, services, distributed systems, data-intensive systems, or platform capabilities. • Strong architectural and systems design judgment, including the ability to reason about service boundaries, reliability, scalability, performance, and maintainability. • Excellent debugging, problem decomposition, and root-cause analysis skills. • Experience evolving, refactoring, or modernizing existing systems without unnecessary rewrites. • Ability to write clean, maintainable, production-grade code and hold a high bar for testing, review, and documentation. • Operational awareness in production environments, including observability, incident response, deployment safety, performance, and reliability concerns. • Experience with cloud infrastructure such as AWS or comparable platforms. • Experience with CI/CD, deployment automation, and operational tooling. • High ownership, autonomy, curiosity, and pragmatic decision-making under ambiguity. • Ability to communicate technical decisions simply, including the reasoning, trade-offs, risks, and expected outcomes.
