The role also involves leading multi-quarter platform initiatives, improving internal developer experience, and mentoring engineers.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate the foundational platforms and shared services that other engineering teams rely on to deliver their products
- Building backend platform capabilities — request routing, traffic management, data fan-out, caching layers, asynchronous job execution, and durable event processing — that must handle very high traffic volumes with predictable latency and minimal operational toil
- Leading multi-quarter platform initiatives that meaningfully raise the engineering bar for the organizations they support
Skills
- Six or more years of professional backend or platform engineering experience
- Demonstrated track record building and operating internal platforms or shared services consumed by multiple engineering teams
- Strong, hands-on expertise designing distributed systems with rigorous attention to consistency, availability, latency, and failure-mode behavior
- Advanced proficiency in at least one major backend language such as Java, Go, Scala, Rust, or modern C++
- Deep understanding of high-throughput messaging, streaming, and event-driven architectures using technologies such as Kafka, Pulsar, or NATS
- Strong working knowledge of data storage systems across relational, key-value, document, and search workloads
- Proven experience leading multi-quarter platform initiatives across teams, including stakeholder management and technical decision-making
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including ability to author crisp technical design documents and present trade-offs clearly
- Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and shape engineering culture through code review, design review, and onboarding contributions
- U.S. Citizens, Green Card Holders, EAD Holders, and H-1B transfer candidates are encouraged to apply
- We are unable to sponsor new H-1B visa petitions for this position
- Experience operating Kubernetes-based platforms or contributing to internal developer-platform initiatives at scale
- Contributions to widely-used open-source platform or infrastructure projects
- Familiarity with control-plane / data-plane patterns, service mesh internals, or workflow-orchestration engines
- Experience designing platform APIs with strong backward-compatibility and versioning guarantees
- Public technical writing, conference talks, or other community contributions on platform engineering topics
