Responsibilities
- Designing, building, and operating distributed backend services and APIs that support core platforms used by multiple product teams worldwide.
- Owning services end‑to‑end — from architecture and implementation to observability, reliability, and continuous improvement in production.
- Defining clear contracts, SLOs, and guardrails so internal teams can safely build on top of the platforms you own.
- Collaborating closely with data, ML, and infrastructure engineers to turn models, datasets, and lower‑level components into robust, easy‑to‑use internal products.
- Leading 0→1 and modernization initiatives, making pragmatic trade‑offs and setting technical standards for high‑leverage systems.
Requirements
- Solid experience as a backend or platform engineer, owning production systems end‑to‑end (design, implementation, operations, and ongoing evolution).
- Proven track record working with distributed systems at scale and building APIs or microservices on modern cloud infrastructure.
- Experience building or supporting platform‑level services where many teams depend on your systems for their day‑to‑day work.
- Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast‑changing contexts and driving 0→1 technical decisions with a long‑term mindset.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, including working effectively with engineers across disciplines and locations.
Nice to Have
- Experience with data, ML, or AI‑related infrastructure (e.g., experimentation, model serving, or ML platforms) used by multiple product teams.
- Exposure to highly regulated or safety‑critical domains (such as financial infrastructure or crypto) where reliability, compliance, and auditability are essential.
- Background in fast‑growing global tech companies, designing systems that work across products, markets, and regulatory environments.
- Experience mentoring other engineers and contributing to raising the engineering bar through reviews, discussions, and hiring.
