• Contribute to our CI/CD and release processes to ship safely and quickly.




• Partner with product teams to deliver features end-to-end, from design docs to production.




• Write clear design documents, RFCs, and high-quality tests.

What we're looking for:

• Experienced in designing and operating distributed systems, with strong foundations in consistency, fault tolerance, partitioning, consensus, and back pressure.

• Comfortable with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and container orchestration.




• Familiar with multi-tenant architectures, API design, and data modelling.




• Knowledgeable about networking fundamentals and security best practices.




• Experienced with Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi preferred; Terraform/CDK also fine).




• Comfortable participating in on-call rotations for large-scale production systems.

Nice to have:
