📋 Description

• Build and maintain core components of the clearing house in Go on GCP including customer onboarding flows, entitlement logic, and data ingestion pipelines • Take on ownership of ambiguous problems and specific features or subsystems, driving them from design through production with appropriate testing and observability • Work closely with staff and principal engineers to implement architectural patterns that scale • Write backend systems that handle unstructured data inputs from enterprise customers and produce structured, validated outputs • Participate in on-call rotation and contribute to incident response and postmortems • Become a go-to engineer for one or more core subsystems, leading multi-engineer efforts over a multi-month horizon • Review code, give direct feedback, and raise the team's engineering bar • Contribute infrastructure-as-code and operational tooling using Terraform and GCP-native tooling

• Solid backend engineering foundation you've shipped and maintained production systems • Strong Go engineering skills; GCP and Terraform experience • You can navigate unstructured data problems (parsing, validating, deduplicating) with a methodical, analytical approach • Experience working in a team that prioritizes operational excellence: monitoring, alerting, graceful degradation • Able to scope and drive features independently with minimal oversight • Experience with customer-facing APIs or workflow systems is a plus • Security or infrastructure domain knowledge
