- Author and review design documents for integration and protocol interfaces that customers can extend and customize without forking the product
- Define versioning and backward compatibility strategy for public contracts, and guard it in design and code reviews
- Design for failure and scale: rate limits, timeouts, partial responses, unavailable remote systems, high throughput and long-running operations, with failure modes that are explicit rather than silent
- Lead investigation of complex, escalated customer integration failures spanning the platform, the network and the remote system, and drive fixes at root cause along with preventive changes
- Identify and pay down technical debt, performance bottlenecks and reliability risks in your area
- Mentor IC1 and IC2 engineers through design reviews, code reviews and pairing, and set quality standards for tests and documentation
- Collaborate with product management, user experience, quality engineering and adjacent platform teams to shape scope and sequence delivery Qualifications

- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of owning backend systems or services in production
- Expert-level Java or JavaScript/Node.js and strong computer science fundamentals
- Demonstrated experience designing, consuming and debugging integrations against third-party systems you dont control,



including handling of undocumented or inconsistent behavior
- Strong working knowledge of OAuth 2.0, JWT, mutual TLS and API key authentication flows, and the security trade-offs between them
- Experience designing APIs or extension points with backward compatibility and versioning requirements
- Proven debugging and root-cause analysis across system boundaries in production environments
- Data modeling, SQL and query optimization for large datasets
- Automated testing as part of your own delivery, and experience improving test strategy for a team
- Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical design discussions
- Agile, sprint-based development experience
- Transparent written communication, including design documents and technical decision records

Good to Have (top priority when comparing candidates)

- Protocol-level work: JSON-RPC, WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, streaming or long-lived connections, including connection lifecycle and resilience
- Experience deploying to AWS EKS, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
- Model Context Protocol (MCP), tool or function calling, agent-facing API design
- Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) / Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers, database connectivity, or query engine internals
