• Influence architecture and help define the engineering foundations of a fast-evolving platform

You're a fit if you have

• Experience building scalable backend systems and owning production services
• Experience with distributed systems and real-time data problems
• Real leverage from AI coding tools, with a considered view on what to delegate and what not to
• Willingness to travel: you'll be based in our Soho office, and most of the team is in San Francisco, so expect to co-locate there for around a week each quarter

Nice to have

• Python for backend services
• TypeScript and React for web applications
