Staff Engineer, Cloud Engineer - Software

Position:
Staff Engineer (P5)
Working model:
Remote
Employment form: B2B

You will be a key architect of the core platform. We are not looking for a product-focused developer, but a systems thinker who will build the foundation upon which all our products sit. The current platform handles 100M rows, and they are gearing up for a 10x scale to 10B rows. Re-architecturing has just begun and you will be a primary driver of this transformation.

This role requires high autonomy—you will be expected to identify problems, design technical solutions, and execute without "hand-holding."

• Platform Evolution:
  Build and scale the core platform infrastructure to support high-volume data (10B+ rows).
• Architecture & Principles:
  Set the technical standards and architectural direction for the platform pillar. Focus on high-level design and robust principles.
• Microservices Shift: Lead the transition from a single-product architecture into a robust microservices and multi-product ecosystem.
• Autonomy:
  Take full ownership of complex technical problems, from discovery to implementation.
• Mentorship & Impact:
  Influence engineering standards across the entire organization, ensuring high performance and security.

• Deep Backend Expertise:
  Expert-level Python and Django knowledge. (FE matters very little in this role).
• Platform Builder Mindset:
  Proven track record of building platforms, internal tools, or infrastructure.
• Scale
  
  Experience:
  
  Experience working with massive data sets (dealing with 1B+ rows) and performance optimization.
• Architecture Heavy:
  Ability to design distributed systems and microservices at scale.
• Ownership: A history of being autonomous and delivering solutions to complex problems without supervision.

• Experience from a single-product company that successfully shifted into microservices and a multi-product environment.
• Experience with AWS architecture and infrastructure-as-code.

• Base Compensation:
  Up to 150,000 USD annually (B2B)
• Equities:
  Significant stock option package.
• Unlimited PTO:
  We value results over hours.
• Hardware:
  Latest Apple hardware (Mac Book Pro).
• Well-being:
  Quarterly mental health days and work anniversary stipends.
• Remote-first:
  Fully remote culture with a multicultural team.
