About the role

  • Central kills back-office work for startups; provides payroll, benefits, compliance, accounting, taxes via AI agents and human experts.
  • Architect mission-critical workflows: Design, build, and maintain stateful, end-to-end systems ensuring data integrity and compliance.
  • Iterate rapidly: Ship incremental, production-ready features in days—prototype, gather user feedback, and refine.
  • Own your domain: Act as technical product lead for core platform areas—set standards for code quality, observability, testing, and operational excellence.
  • Delight and empower customers: Partner with Product and Support to translate user pain points into scalable solutions.
  • Push the limits with AI: Leverage AI to automate previously impossible tasks and create new user experiences.

Requirements

  • Experienced systems architect: You’ve designed and delivered large-scale, stateful architectures—modeling complex domains, defining clear data schemas, and ensuring end-to-end reliability.
  • Distributed-transaction specialist: You’ve implemented robust patterns for coordinating multi-step workflows across disparate services and third-party APIs—handling two-phase commits, sagas, idempotency, and compensating actions to keep data consistent.
  • Deep transactional-pipeline expertise: Comfort building reconciled workflows with audit trails and automated recovery, especially when orchestrating financial or compliance-related operations.
  • Reliability-first mindset: You bake in observability (metrics, logs, alerts), fault tolerance, and graceful degradation from day one.
  • Scalability & performance focus: You understand caching, queueing, rate-limiting, and have tuned systems to handle rapid growth without sacrificing latency or correctness.
  • Strategic thinker & communicator: You break down complex trade-offs into clear plans, document your designs, and keep cross-functional stakeholders aligned.
  • Bias toward action & high standards: You ship prototypes quickly, iterate based on real feedback, and insist on production-ready quality in every release.
