Qualifications

  • 6+ years of production software experience.
  • 3+ years of hands-on async Python in production.
  • 2+ years of engineering leadership experience.
  • Strong background designing and evolving complex distributed systems, platform-level infrastructure, or other high-scale backend architectures.
  • Ability to define technical direction, break down ambiguous problems, prioritize work, and deliver results with high autonomy.
  • Product-minded approach and end-to-end ownership of features, from shaping technical solutions and planning execution to identifying risks, coordinating with cross-functional teams, and driving delivery.

Responsibilities

  • Lead a small backend team and own execution, including decomposition, estimation, and prioritization.

  • Develop the internal LLM agent framework, focusing on scalability, throughput, and parallel processing.
  • Extend and refine platform architecture to meet the project's evolving needs.
  • Technically lead the backend/platform track, break down complex work into clear tasks, and build processes around product goals.
  • Adapt to shifting priorities, work in short feedback loops, keep the team aligned, and drive work through to completion.
  • Align with other teams on architecture, integrations, ownership boundaries, and work to be owned or handed off.
  • Ensure system observability and reliability through metrics, tracing, and monitoring.
