• Model and optimize relational data in SQL to support high-throughput investigations and reporting.

• Harden the platform for reliability by improving performance, reducing failure modes, and ensuring the system scales with customer demand.

• Collaborate across product and infrastructure, translating ambiguous requirements into production-ready backend and platform features.

• Set engineering standards for writing, communication, and system design, influencing how the entire product is built.

• Proven backend API/data services expertise

• Oncall experience with production systems

• Comfort with ambiguity and ownership

• Excellent writing and communication skills

• Expertise with TypeScript in production environments

Bonus:
