About the role
- Central kills back-office work for startups.
- Uses AI agents and human experts to handle payroll, benefits, compliance, accounting, taxes, and more.
- Architect mission-critical workflows: Design, build, and maintain stateful, end-to-end systems that ensure data integrity (idempotency, reconciliation, audit trails) and meet stringent compliance and reliability requirements.
- Iterate rapidly: Ship incremental, production-ready features in days—prototype, gather real user feedback, and refine relentlessly.
- Own your domain: Act as the technical product lead for core platform areas—setting standards for code quality, observability, testing, and operational excellence.
- Delight and empower customers: Partner with Product and Support to translate user pain points into clean, intuitive solutions that scale from a single startup to enterprise.
- 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.
