Description

  • Own the architecture health, failure modes, capacity limits, and consistency guarantees of a distributed system spanning 50+ deployments.
  • Review and approve critical-path architectural designs across teams.
  • Proactively identify and remediate single points of failure, unbounded queues, missing idempotency, thundering herds, and data-loss risks.
  • Prototype high-risk architectural solutions, implement incident remediations, and resolve complex cross-team production issues.
  • Design degradation strategies, backpressure, isolation boundaries, and capacity models for continued double-digit growth.
  • Lead design reviews, post-mortems, and reusable engineering patterns across 80+ engineers.
  • Establish safe practices for AI-assisted engineering on critical production systems.
  • Support systems running on Node.js, Go, GKE, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks, Redis, MongoDB, Firestore, ClickHouse, and Elasticsearch.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of engineering experience with hands-on ownership of large-scale distributed systems.
  • Direct accountability for production systems through significant failures and incidents.
  • Deep expertise in queueing and asynchronous architectures, delivery semantics, ordering, backpressure, and idempotency.
  • Strong experience with SQL and NoSQL storage engines, consistency models, and large-scale indexing.
  • Expertise with Redis or comparable in-memory systems, including memory-pressure and network-partition failure modes.
  • Production Kubernetes experience at scale, including resource limits, autoscaling, and node-pool failures.
  • Exceptional design communication through technical documentation, diagrams, and root-cause analyses.
  • Fluency in Node.js and/or Go for prototyping and critical-path fixes.
  • Experience operating at staff or principal-engineer scope and reasoning through failure modes under extreme load.
  • Preferred: GCP-native experience, AI-agent engineering, 0-to-1 production systems, or prior systems-architecture roles.

Benefits

  • Remote-first work environment.
  • Opportunity to work on systems supporting more than 1 million businesses globally.
  • Equal opportunity employer.
