📋 Description

• Design and deliver secure, scalable AI integration platforms that connect enterprise systems and power mission-critical automation. • Contribute to the design and evolution of our AI integration client ecosystem, defining how AI applications securely connect to external tools, data sources, and enterprise systems. • Own backend service design for high-throughput, low-latency APIs that enable reliable agent workflows and complex cross-system orchestration. • Set technical direction for identity, auth, and trust boundaries across integrations (OAuth, API key, service-to-service), balancing developer velocity with security and compliance. • Partner with product and cross-functional engineering leaders to shape roadmap, define technical strategy, and translate ambiguous business goals into durable platform capabilities. • Lead production excellence through a metrics-first reliability strategy, defining and enforcing SLOs/SLAs, maturing observability, and driving resilience, incident readiness, and performance optimization at scale. • Raise the engineering bar through architecture reviews, pragmatic design standards, rigorous testing strategy, and mentorship of senior and mid-level engineers.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production backend systems using Typescript, Deno, Node.js, or Bun; scope and leveling can flex across Senior to Staff based on architectural impact and leadership. • Strong experience designing and shipping API-driven platform services and distributed systems, including microservices, event-driven patterns, and secure service-to-service communication. • Practical expertise building AI integration layers (e.g., MCP clients/servers, tool orchestration, external API connectors, auth mediation), not just prompt or model experimentation. • Deep hands-on knowledge of authentication and security patterns for third-party integrations (OAuth2/OIDC, API keys, token lifecycle, secret management, least-privilege access). • Proven cloud-native experience on AWS, GCP, or Azure, including containerized workloads (Docker/Kubernetes), CI/CD, and production operations. • Strong experience with observability and reliability engineering, including defining/operating service metrics, SLOs/SLAs, alerting, incident response, and performance tuning. • Solid backend fundamentals in modern server frameworks and data systems (e.g., TypeScript/Node or Python ecosystems, PostgreSQL), with ability to choose the right tool for the system; experience with Python is a plus but not required. • Demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity: partner cross-functionally, mentor engineers, drive technical decisions, and own delivery from design through production. • You embody our core values of Connect, Challenge, and Own. You build strong partnerships across teams, challenge conventional thinking to drive innovation, and take ownership of your work with a focus on delivering meaningful impact and excellence.
