About the role

  • You will work on implementing the system, getting it running in the customer's AWS environment, and proving it out at MVP scope and beyond.
  • You'll be the person accountable for the platform from "deployed" through "running reliably in production" through "evolving as the workload grows."
  • Initial work is focused on standing up infrastructure, implementing data pipelines and backend services, validating the system end-to-end against real operational data, and bringing it live for an MVP deployment.

Responsibilities

  • Implement the designed data pipelines and backend services in Python on AWS
  • Design and manage AWS infrastructure using Terraform and Terragrunt
  • Build out the CI/CD, observability, and runbooks needed to operate the platform reliably
  • Own the platform after launch - incident response, performance, capacity, and cost
  • Lead the platform's design evolution from MVP through later production stages, making the data model, scaling, and reliability decisions informed by running it yourself

Requirements

  • Senior-level experience shipping production backend or data services in Python.
  • You have built systems other people depend on.
  • Production AWS architecture experience, including event-driven services such as SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Step Functions, and Lambda.
  • Japanese language ability is helpful but not required
  • Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without employer sponsorship
