About the role

  • Drive platform architecture decisions and align the team on scalable patterns and long-term maintainability
  • Review a high volume of code, design docs, and architectural proposals for scalability, reliability, security, and operability
  • Be a technical mentor and force multiplier: unblock engineers, raise the bar on production readiness, and establish platform best practices
  • Own and evolve the core backend platform (Django/DRF/ASGI) performance and correctness
  • Scale async execution across Celery + Dramatiq + Temporal/Cortex; implement resilient workflow patterns (retries, circuit breakers, graceful degradation)
  • Optimize PostgreSQL/pgvector (query tuning, connection pooling) and caching strategies
  • Maintain and improve Kubernetes deployment infrastructure (GKE, Helm, Terraform/OpenTofu) and CI/CD + rollout strategies. Own KEDA autoscaling policies and resource allocation across worker pools.
  • Own reliability of RabbitMQ, Redis, and PostgreSQL infrastructure; lead incident response and post-mortems
  • Extend OpenTelemetry + Datadog instrumentation, dashboards, alerts, and SLOs; profile and reduce latency/memory bottlenecks

Requirements

  • 10+ years building and operating production backend systems at scale
  • Deep expertise in Python (Django preferred) and relational databases (PostgreSQL)
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Helm, and cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred)
  • Strong background in distributed systems: message queues, event sourcing, workflow orchestration
  • Production experience with async task systems (Celery, Dramatiq, or similar)
  • Track record of debugging complex production issues across multiple services
  • Ability to work autonomously and drive technical initiatives without close supervision
  • Clear technical communication—able to explain tradeoffs and build consensus
  • Experience with Temporal or similar workflow engines (preferred)
  • Background in LLM infrastructure, RAG systems, or AI/ML platforms (preferred)
  • Familiarity with OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or similar observability stacks (preferred)
  • Experience with KEDA or other Kubernetes autoscaling solutions (preferred)
  • Contributions to multi-tenant SaaS platform architecture (preferred)
  • History of improving developer experience and platform abstractions (preferred)
