Requirements
• Deep experience designing and delivering production-grade backend systems in cloud environments, with direct ownership over architecture and operational outcomes — including what happens when things go wrong. • Strong proficiency in at least one systems or backend language (Go preferred), with the ability to navigate large codebases and drive technical decisions with confidence. • Hands-on experience building and operating distributed systems: concurrency, reliability, scaling, consistency, and failure handling in production. • Solid experience with data pipelines and storage systems (Postgres, Redshift, Kafka/Kinesis, S3-compatible storage, Clickhouse) and a track record of ensuring correctness and traceability at scale. • Experience with production operations: observability, incident response, performance tuning, on-call readiness, and continuous delivery. • Ability to work effectively across functions — translating ambiguous requirements from product managers and solutions architects into clear, executable technical plans. • Strong written and verbal communication: you write crisp design docs, align stakeholders on tradeoffs, and can explain a complex system to someone who didn't build it. • A builder's mindset: you enjoy simplifying complex workflows, improving tooling, and leaving systems better than you found them. • What You Can Expect • High-impact ownership over systems tied directly to revenue, customer lifecycle, and platform scalability • Collaborative engineering culture focused on quality, pragmatism, and measurable outcomes • Exceptional technical colleagues and a feedback-rich environment • Lean processes and autonomy without unnecessary bureaucracy • Strong emphasis on reliability and operational excellence—balanced with rapid iteration • A team that values mentorship, thoughtful design, and steady improvements that compound over time • Technology Stack • Primary Language: Go • Data Storage: PostgreSQL, Redshift, S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Clickhouse • Data Processing: Kinesis, Firehose • Infrastructure: Kubernetes • Core Framework: Temporal (of course 😉)
Responsibilities
• Lead the Design of Business-Critical Systems: Own end-to-end technical design and delivery for the services that power namespace scalability, reliability, and the customer data products built on top of them. • Bridge Instrumentation and Product Value: Partner with analytics and product engineers to ensure what gets collected actually powers meaningful customer insights; translate business questions into durable event schemas that outlast the feature that introduced them. • Architect Data Pipelines for Scale and Correctness: Define and evolve our data pipeline architecture for high-throughput usage and operational data; make principled tradeoffs across data freshness, query cost, tenant isolation, and fault-tolerance. • Drive Data Quality as a First-Class Concern: Establish schema contracts, pipeline-level anomaly detection, and alerting for silent failures — holding the line on data correctness before bad numbers reach customers. • Raise the Engineering Bar: Set quality standards through code and design reviews; introduce patterns and tooling that improve maintainability, observability, and incident response across the team. • Mentor and Multiply Impact: Grow the engineers around you, unblock execution, and foster a culture of ownership, learning, and pragmatic excellence. • Improve Developer and Customer Experience: Identify opportunities to streamline customer flows via automation, better tooling, and targeted platform improvements that reduce friction and support load.
