Reporting to Senior Director of Software Engineering you will be a senior technical voice across distributed systems, data-intensive analytics, and cloud platform engineering, setting the bar for availability, security, and multi-tenancy across the product.
What You'll Actually Be Doing- Architect and deliver secure, highly scalable backend services on Kubernetes in a cellular, multi-availability-zone cloud environment, including authentication and authorization integrations with identity providers and service-to-service communication patterns - partnering with Security on threat modeling and AI safety guardrails.
- Define service-level indicators and objectives for the team's features, shape rollout and telemetry strategy across pre-release through production, and lead service ownership including on-call rotations, operational reviews, runbooks, and automation.
- Set and enforce test strategy across the pillar - spanning unit, integration, functional, regression, and performance - and author architectural documents, design specs, and test plans for cross-team initiatives.
- Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow, and design and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale.
You're Our Person If... - You have extensive professional software development experience with a proven track record of shipping enterprise SaaS at scale and operating in a principal-level technical leadership capacity, including mentoring senior engineers and driving architectural alignment across organizational boundaries.
- You have production-level proficiency in Java and/or Python, hands-on experience designing and operating highly available distributed systems on AWS or comparable cloud platforms, and a strong background in automated testing strategy for complex, cross-team systems.
- You have exceptional communication skills and can clearly present technical strategy and trade-offs to senior engineering leadership, Product, and external customers - including representing the team on customer trust and critical problem management.
- A related technical degree required.
Even Better If... - You have familiarity with multi-tenant SaaS ecosystems, including tenant-isolation patterns across database, cache, and storage layers.
- You have expertise shaping experiences with large language models and agents, and experience evaluating machine learning model performance.
- You have experience with zero-downtime deployment patterns such as blue/green or rolling releases.
