About the role

  • This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys backend engineering, distributed systems, infrastructure-adjacent development, and driving technical improvements with broad impact.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable platform services, internal tools, and shared infrastructure used across multiple product teams
  • Partner with product engineering, security, data, and infrastructure teams to define platform standards and deliver shared capabilities
  • Lead technical design for large and ambiguous projects, balancing speed, maintainability, and long-term architecture
  • Support production systems, investigate incidents, and contribute to a strong culture of operational excellence
  • Help drive engineering best practices in areas such as service design, API development, monitoring, resiliency, and release processes
  • Solid understanding of system design, scalability, reliability, security, and performance tradeoffs
  • This role is ideal for someone who wants to combine hands-on backend development with broad platform influence and help create systems that make every engineering team more effective.
  • We are committed to building an inclusive workplace and welcome candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear recommendations
  • A collaborative approach and a track record of mentoring engineers and contributing to healthy engineering culture

Nice to have

  • Experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, infrastructure as code, or cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Experience improving developer experience through platform investments, paved roads, or shared tooling
  • Familiarity with observability tooling, incident management, and service-level reliability practices
  • Experience with data-intensive systems, event-driven architectures, or multi-service environments
  • Prior experience on a platform, infrastructure, developer productivity, or site reliability engineering team
  • You make thoughtful technical decisions that scale well as the organization and product grow
  • You help teams solve hard backend problems without overcomplicating the solution
  • You elevate the quality of systems and engineering practices through strong technical leadership and execution
