Description

  • Design, implement, and evolve moderate to complex backend features with minimal guidance.

  • Experience designing or evolving modular backend boundaries, bounded contexts, and migration-safe architectures.
  • Ability to lead through influence, technical judgment, and clear written communication.
  • Proven experience building or operating agentic systems in production beyond prompt engineering.
  • Experience with high-throughput distributed systems, concurrency, or profiling is preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with containerized production operations such as Kubernetes is preferred.
  • Deep database performance knowledge such as PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, schema evolution, or partitioning is preferred.
  • Background in large-scale modular monoliths or event-driven systems is preferred.
  • Public technical communication, open-source maintenance, or developer-focused SaaS experience is preferred.

Benefits

  • Flexible Paid Time Off.
  • Equity compensation and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
  • Growth and Development Fund.
  • Parental leave.
  • Benefits to support health, finances, and well-being.
