Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain core systems and services that support our platform’s reliability, performance, and scalability. • Build automation and tooling that reduce operational overhead, improve developer workflows, and enforce system-level consistency. • Develop integrations between our systems and external platforms (e.g., billing, CRM, authentication, analytics). • Improve observability, monitoring, and alerting across services to ensure strong operational visibility. • Architect and maintain infrastructure components (e.g., distributed services, data pipelines, deployment automation). • Contribute to security-focused systems work, such as permissions controls, access flows, and auditability. • Troubleshoot issues across services and layers, backend, infrastructure, and occasionally frontend, taking full ownership from diagnosis to resolution. • Jump into frontend code as needed to close the loop on system-level changes or fix issues that block broader system reliability.
