• System Architecture & Performance: Continuously improve the architecture of our core systems for better performance, scalability, and maintainability. Participate in technical design discussions and make decisions to enhance system reliability.
• Infrastructure & DevOps: Enhance and maintain our infrastructure (AWS cloud services and related tooling). Set up and refine CI/CD pipelines as needed to streamline deployments.
• Monitoring & Alerts: Establish and fine-tune comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting across all platforms. Maintain observability tools to ensure any issues are detected early and accurately, enabling rapid response.
• Off-Hours Support: Serve as the point person for troubleshooting and responding to backend system issues during off-peak hours (EU daytime / APAC night). Promptly address incidents, mitigate impact, and elevate to the broader engineering team if critical issues arise outside your expertise.

• Autonomous Work: Proven ability to work autonomously and take initiative in a remote, asynchronous environment. You should be comfortable making progress with limited supervision and adept at communicating progress or issues in writing.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Strong debugging and problem‑solving abilities, especially under time pressure when responding to incidents. Capable of systematically diagnosing issues across a complex system (from application to database to infrastructure).
• Bonus Points: Prior experience at a startup or in a fast-paced tech company. Such background demonstrates adaptability and the ability to handle broad responsibilities beyond a narrow role definition.
