Job description

Zaras is building the operating layer for the trades — one record that carries a service business from first call to deposit cleared. Our team is small, hands‑on, and field‑first. We operate with a flat structure. All employees are expected to contribute directly to the work. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver.

About the role

Own the spine underneath everything — Postgres, edge functions, and the event contracts that other services consume. You will set the bar for migrations, observability, and incident response.

Responsibilities

• Author non‑trivial Postgres migrations with rollback plans.
• Operate the event spine — contracts, replay, and dead‑letter handling.
• Run the on‑call rotation and tighten time‑to‑detect.
• Pair with product engineers on data‑model changes.
• 5+ years on platform or backend teams.
• Production experience with edge or serverless runtimes.
• Willingness to be on‑call (≈one week in four).

Preferred skills and experience

• Supabase or Postgres‑as‑a‑platform experience.
• Built event‑sourced or CQRS systems in production.
• Comfortable writing technical docs and runbooks.
• Vertical SaaS background.

Zaras is an equal opportunity employer.
