Bjak - Lead Software Engineer (Core Platform) - Remote
Requirements
• Strong software engineering experience building production-grade backend or distributed systems. • Proven experience leading technical delivery of platform- or infrastructure-level systems. • Ability to design scalable system architecture across multiple services and domains. • Strong understanding of APIs, backend systems, and distributed system principles. • Hands-on engineering capability with a willingness to contribute to implementation and code. • Strong judgment on architecture trade-offs, scalability, and long-term system design. • Experience working across product and operations teams in complex system environments. • Strong communication skills and ability to align technical decisions across stakeholders. • Calm under pressure when handling production issues or system incidents. • High ownership mindset with strong follow-through from design to production. • Experience building core platforms, infrastructure systems, or shared service layers. • Experience with workflow engines, orchestration systems, or event-driven architectures. • Experience with large-scale backend systems or distributed system design. • Knowledge of Node.js, Python, Java or similar backend technologies. • Experience with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and system observability tools. • Familiarity with logging, metrics, tracing, and production monitoring systems. • Experience designing multi-tenant or multi-product platform architectures. • Contributions to architecture-level decisions or platform standardization efforts. • The Kind of Builder We Want • Thinks in terms of platforms, systems and long-term scalability—not just features. • Hands-on technical leader who stays close to architecture and implementation. • Clear thinker who simplifies complex systems into scalable designs. • Stable, structured, and dependable under pressure. • Strong bias toward reliability, maintainability, and system correctness. • Actively improves system observability, debugging, and operational clarity. • Builds foundational systems that enable other engineers to move faster. • This Role Is Not For • People who only focus on feature delivery without system thinking. • Engineers who avoid ownership of platform or production systems. • Candidates who cannot clearly explain architecture trade-offs. • People who ignore scalability, reliability, or long-term maintainability. • Individuals who talk like system leaders but do not build systems.
Responsibilities
• You'll be successful if you can: • Build stable and scalable core platform systems that support multiple products. • Improve system reliability, observability, and engineering efficiency. • Reduce fragmentation across services through strong platform design. • Enable faster and safer product development through shared infrastructure. • Build strong trust with engineering, product, and operations teams.
