About the role

  • Plan and drive large projects with incremental deliverables—you'll contribute to major architectural decisions, assess technical risks, and communicate tradeoffs across teams
  • Set the bar for code quality—deliver code that's maintainable, well-tested, and sets the standard for the team
  • Be a stabilizing force when things are ambiguous—keep the team aligned on priorities and moving forward even when the path isn't clear
  • Mentor and elevate others—delegate effectively, trust people with real ownership, and help engineers around you grow

Requirements

  • A track record of delivering complex, multi-team projects—you've shipped systems that handle real scale, real failures, and real customers.
  • Deep experience with Go or similar backend languages, with strong opinions on how to write maintainable, performant code.
  • Strong systems thinking—you balance technical debt against feature velocity and make pragmatic tradeoffs.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership—you've driven architectural decisions, built consensus across teams, and helped other engineers grow.
  • High agency—you figure out what needs to be built, not just how to build what you're told. You move fast and unblock yourself.
  • Deep understanding of production environments—you know how to debug, monitor, and operate the systems you build.
  • Experience with AI-assisted development (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar)—you're already using these tools and excited about what's next
  • Clear, persuasive communication—you can explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences and build alignment.
  • Nice to Have
  • Experience with identity and access management systems (SCIM, SAML, OAuth, LDAP, or similar)
  • Background in building multi-tenant SaaS platforms with enterprise security requirements
  • Familiarity with workflow orchestration technologies (Temporal, Airflow, or custom implementations)
Benefits
  • Ship, Ship, Ship—we bias toward action. We'd rather ship something and learn than debate endlessly. Iteration beats perfection.
  • Build with AI—we use AI tools daily to write code, review PRs, explore ideas, and move faster. If you're not excited about this, we're not the right fit.
  • Earn the Customer's Trust—we build for real problems, not hypothetical ones. We talk to customers constantly and take their security seriously.
  • Practice Compassionate Candor—we give direct feedback because we care about each other's growth. Ego takes a back seat to getting it right.
  • Be the Conductor—we take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks. If something needs doing, we do it.
