• Lead complex projects across services, teams, and dependencies
• Drive design reviews, code reviews, and system discussions
• Mentor engineers and raise the overall technical bar of the team
• Work closely with product to break down ambiguous problems into scalable solutions
• Optimize systems for performance, latency, and reliability
• Own production systems - monitoring, debugging, and incident resolution
• Influence long-term tech stack and architecture decisions
• Build for scale: millions of transactions, real-time processing,



zero downtime expectations

The Perfect Fit

• 8 - 10 years of backend engineering experience in product companies
