About the role
<h3><strong>The Mission</strong></h3> <p>At Ordergroove, Platform Engineering doesn't just manage infrastructure—we build the engine that powers the subscription economy. We are the foundation that every internal team, thousands of enterprise merchants, and increasingly, <strong>autonomous AI agents</strong>, rely on to operate at scale.</p> <p>We are looking for a <strong>product-minded Staff Software Engineer</strong> who defines success by business outcomes, not just technical solutions. In this role, you won't just implement tickets; you will own foundational platform capabilities end-to-end and help define the paradigm of modern platform engineering in an AI-first company.</p> <p>Platform Engineering sits at the absolute center of every major initiative at Ordergroove. If you want to build high-leverage primitives that amplify the velocity of an entire engineering organization, your impact here will be outsized.</p> <h3><strong>What You Will Do</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Pioneer the AI-First Platform:</strong> Build the next-generation APIs, SDKs, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that allow both human engineers and AI agents to safely, easily, and frictionlessly interact with our platform.</li> <li><strong>Own Core Capabilities End-to-End:</strong> Architect and evolve the mission-critical systems powering Ordergroove, from core domain models and distributed event-driven architectures to enterprise identity (OIDC, OAuth, SSO) and high-throughput order processing.</li> <li><strong>Design for Massive Scale:</strong> Ensure high availability, low latency, and fault tolerance across a multi-tenant environment. You will set the standard for operational resilience, observability, and SLOs.</li> <li><strong>Champion a "You Build It, You Run It" Culture:</strong> Take complete accountability for the full lifecycle of your services—from deeply understanding merchant pain points to designing the architecture, shipping production code, and optimizing system health.</li> <li><strong>Architect the next version of Developer Experience (DevX):</strong> Abstract away complexity. Build intuitive tooling and reusable platform primitives that enable internal product engineering teams, partners, and merchants to build rapidly with minimal operational overhead.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>
