About the role

We are seeking platform software engineers, not application engineers.
If you are an engineer who enjoys hard problems in distributed systems, backend infrastructure, reliability, and platform architecture, this is the right team for you.
Improve observability, alerting, incident response, root-cause analysis, and operational readiness for critical platform services.

This is a pivotal role where you will drive the design and evolution of distributed platform services that power event ingestion, processing, replay, and delivery.
What You Will Accomplish: Own the architecture, design, and development of core distributed platform services that support tracking workloads at scale.
Build and evolve platform capabilities for event capture, validation, routing, buffering, replay, backpressure handling, and delivery guarantees.
Design service APIs, platform contracts, and control-plane workflows that enable safe, reliable adoption by other engineering teams.
Drive technical decisions around scaling, reliability, consistency, partitioning, idempotency, fault isolation, and graceful degradation.
Develop automation and tooling that reduce operational toil and improve deployment, debugging, and recovery workflows.
Partner with engineering and product stakeholders to translate broad platform requirements into durable technical solutions.
Lead design reviews, mentor engineers, and raise the technical bar for distributed systems engineering across the team.
Identify architectural debt, scaling bottlenecks, and reliability gaps, and drive pragmatic modernization efforts.
Join a team of passionate thinkers, innovators, and dreamers - and help us connect people and build communities to create economic opportunity for all.

BS EE or CS degree
Strong experience designing and operating high-throughput, low-latency, production-grade services with demanding reliability requirements.
Strong backend development experience in Java, Python, Go, Scala, C++, or another production-grade programming language.
Ability to make sound architecture tradeoffs across reliability, correctness, performance, simplicity, velocity, operability, and cost.
Experience defining clean interfaces, migration strategies, backward-compatible changes, and rollout plans for platform systems.
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical decisions clearly and influence across teams.
A track record of mentoring engineers, leading technical discussions, and improving the quality of engineering execution.
