About the role
- Our customers are Charlie Health's other engineering teams, and our job is to make them faster, safer, and more consistent.
- Specs are the primary artifact, agents draft most of the implementation, and spec quality is the clearest craft signal at this level.
Responsibilities
- Own one or more platform primitives end to end, from architecture and build through production operation and long-term evolution
- Build the deterministic quality gates that let agent-written code ship safely: automated end-to-end testing, golden test datasets, spec templates, and schema change safety
- Deliver core services on the team's own paved roads, finding the potholes before any product squad does
- Partner with product squads as they federate into the supergraph and adopt the event substrate during the migration onto the new platform
- Design cross-service patterns that product squads adopt, and treat adoption as the measure of success rather than delivery alone
- Document the standards in your domain as architecture decision records and bring them through our Architecture Advice Guild
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, including several years designing and operating distributed systems or platform components that other teams build on
- Depth in at least one of these areas, enough to own it end to end: GraphQL federation, real-time stream processing (Flink, Spark, KsqlDB, or similar), graph databases (Memgraph, Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, Dgraph, or similar), or authorization systems with ReBAC and RBAC models (Zanzibar, OpenFGA, Cedar, or similar)
Requirements
- Experience with skills, MCPs, harnesses, agentic tooling ecosystems, or agent orchestration for software development
- Experience with data modeling for systems of record, including safe schema changes against live production data
- Proficiency in the stack we run: TypeScript and/or Python services, Postgres, and AWS managed primitives
- A track record of driving workstreams that span multiple engineers and quarters without people authority
- Comfort operating production critical-path systems, including on-call, in a regulated environment
