Responsibilities
- Own a software subsystem from design through production, including its technical direction, implementation, interfaces, testing, operational readiness, and improvement.
- Translate product goals into designs and delivery plans while defining interfaces, data flows, tradeoffs, dependencies, and risks.
- Personally implement critical functionality and resolve difficult technical problems across backend services, APIs, messaging, data, and relevant user-facing components.
- Establish integration contracts and address compatibility, failure behavior, and downstream effects on teams and users.
- Use AI coding agents with defined tasks and constraints, then verify results through tests, measurements, and targeted code review.
- Build security, performance, resilience, and maintainability into the subsystem through automated tests and realistic failure validation.
- Carry work through release and production, including observability, safe rollout and rollback, failure investigation, and follow-up improvements.
- Collaborate with product, engineering, and operations partners through documentation, knowledge sharing, code review, and technical support.
Requirements
- 10+ years of relevant software engineering experience with demonstrated technical depth and end-to-end ownership of production software.
- Experience owning a substantial production service, subsystem, or product capability across design, implementation, integration, and ongoing improvement.
- Strong backend engineering skills in at least one production language such as Go, Rust, Node.js with TypeScript, Java, or a comparable language.
- Ability to reason about distributed systems, concurrency, state, APIs, asynchronous messaging, data storage, and failure handling.
- Experience with automated testing, deployment, observability, performance analysis, and production troubleshooting.
- Practical experience using AI coding agents for substantial engineering work and evaluating their output.
- Ability to work independently through ambiguity, learn unfamiliar technologies, and coordinate technical decisions and dependencies across teams.
- Clear communication skills and ability to move between system design and implementation details.
- Preferred: production development in Go or Rust; event-driven systems and messaging platforms such as Kafka, NATS, or RabbitMQ; service modernization; real-time applications; backend and modern frontend delivery; and production AI integrations involving tool use, retrieval, orchestration, or evaluations.
- Bachelor degree or equivalent experience.
