Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Set the technical direction for the internal platform: architecture, shared primitives, and the standards other engineers build on.
  • Build the hardest pieces yourself, from orchestration and integrations to the data model underneath the tools.
  • Review designs and code across the team, raising the bar without becoming the bottleneck.
  • Consolidate one-off tools into shared systems that make the next tool a day's work instead of a month's.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've been the engineer others route hard problems to, and you've shipped systems that outlived your tenure on them.
  • You've designed and built platforms or shared infrastructure other engineers depend on daily.
  • You hold a high bar in code review while keeping velocity, and you know which corners can be cut and which can't.
  • You use AI coding tools as a force multiplier daily and get agents doing real work alongside you.
  • You've untangled a system that grew crooked and left it simpler than you found it.
  • Bonus: Workflow and orchestration engines. LLM APIs, MCP servers, and agentic frameworks. Postgres at depth. Internal tooling at a high-growth company.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
