Key skills for this role
Feature development — designing and shipping new backend and platform capabilities across the infrastructure layer, from API design and service boundaries to data flows, analytics pipelines, and internal platform tooling
Scaling and performance — making the platform handle more load, more reliably; identifying bottlenecks before they become incidents and designing systems that grow gracefully
High availability — owning the reliability posture of the platform: monitoring, alerting, graceful degradation, incident response, and the operational discipline that keeps things running
Deployments and distribution — improving the way we run the hosted platform today while designing the packaging and operational model for self-hosted deployments, with a strong focus on containers, upgrade paths, and production operability
Security compliance — implementing the controls, audit trails, and data handling practices that SOC 2 and enterprise customers require — not just checking boxes, but building it right
Experience level — 7+ years of software engineering experience, with strong TypeScript and deep backend or infrastructure experience
Backend depth — you’ve designed APIs, modeled data, and shipped systems that handle real production load; you know what breaks at scale and how to get ahead of it
Edge/serverless experience — you’re comfortable designing and operating systems that run in edge or serverless environments and understand the runtime, observability, and architectural tradeoffs involved
Reliability mindset — you think about failure modes, observability, operational burden, and recovery paths when you design systems, not after the fact
Container and deployment experience — you’ve containerized production services and built or operated deployment workflows around them; you’re comfortable with image design, configuration, health checks, rollout safety, and production debugging
