The role
We're looking for an outstanding experienced engineer to push our platform to the next level of performance and reliability. You'll join us at a crucial stage of accelerated development for the company, product, and team. As part of a small, highly collaborative group, you'll be a key driver of vital projects — operating with a high degree of autonomy, building and extending multiple foundational systems, and crafting performant, reliable, and maintainable solutions to challenging technical and product problems.
What you'll do
-
Build and extend foundational systems across the full stack — from backend services to frontend interfaces
-
Take end-to-end ownership of projects, from product and architectural decisions through to deployment, monitoring, and measuring user impact
-
Work autonomously to drive projects forward while collaborating closely with a lean, high-trust team on challenging problems
-
Tackle complex domains at massive scale using simple, well-crafted solutions
-
Take initiative, be proactive in problem-solving, and continuously seek improvements across the codebase and product
Who we're looking for
-
Experienced: you've seen a lot and built a lot compared to your peers — personally developed and maintained multiple systems from scratch, with a deep understanding of the trade-offs involved in building reliable, performant software at speed
