Lead design and implementation of control-plane services (APIs, schedulers, workflow/rules engines, config & policy management).
Build features around reporting/analytics, global alert filters/policies, re-investigation flows, and customer-visible auditability.
Evolve multi-tenant, role-aware “organization & permissions” models; ensure safe, idempotent, and rate-limited operations.
Define and version public/internal APIs.
Partner with AI Core, Security Integrations, and GTM to prioritize roadmap and translate ambiguity into shipped outcomes.
Provide mentorship and raise the bar on code quality, design reviews, and operational excellence.
Drive quality through automated testing, performance monitoring, and secure coding practices.
Periodically participate in a 24x7 on-call rotation.

Requirements

6+ years of backend engineering experience, including leading projects from design to production.
Strong Python backend skills (clean, maintainable code; async where it counts) and service/API fundamentals.
Experience building control-plane or platform/middleware systems (workflow engines, schedulers, policy/rules, config).
Solid data modeling and operational chops with Postgres and a queue/stream (e.g., Celery/Redis, Pub/Sub, etc).
Deep understanding of reliability patterns: idempotency, retries, timeouts, rate limiting, consistency trade-offs.
Early-stage startup mindset. You thrive on ambiguity and move with lightspeed execution.
Being data-driven is part of your DNA.
