Requirements
• You've worked on both 0-to-1 initiatives and complex existing systems, and know how to balance building new things with improving what's already there • You have experience with relational and NoSQL databases, SQL, and thoughtful database modeling • You're familiar with building and observing applications on AWS, and ideally Datadog • You communicate with clarity and directness — cross-functional partners and async teams can count on you • You're energized by distributed systems challenges and high-ownership environments • You have strong instincts for technical trade-offs informed by both engineering best practices and business priorities
Responsibilities
• Take ownership of the Fondue product and its underlying architecture — becoming the go-to technical expert for cashback, discounting, and incentives systems • Independently investigate, design, and execute solutions across evolving distributed systems with a high degree of ambiguity • Drive system decoupling and modularization — break down monolithic dependencies into flexible, independently deployable components • Implement AI-first coding practices and tooling to reduce cognitive load, accelerate development cycles, and shorten time-to-market for new capabilities • Help Fondue and other subsidiary products adopt Postscript's core tools, data formats, and technical standards to reduce cross-team friction • Architect, build, and maintain highly available, scalable REST APIs for internal and external use • Collaborate cross-functionally with finance and customer support teams — clear, proactive communication is essential in this role • Contribute to process and technical improvements; someone who can quickly ramp on new systems and propose meaningful changes will thrive here • Identify and eliminate single points of failure, improving knowledge redundancy and overall system resilience
