This is a key role focused on making our backend faster, more reliable, and ready to scale.
Responsibilities
- Designing and building agentic systems: autonomous, multi-step workflows that draft legal documents and orchestrate complex processes.
- Improving backend security by tightening authentication, moving toward proper environment isolation, and hardening database access patterns.
- Scaling our customer-facing GraphQL API to improve its structure, performance, and maintainability.
- Building robust data pipelines and integrations across services like Slack, Linear, HubSpot, and Front.
