We'reseekinga skilled Staff/Sr. Staff Platform Engineer to join our team!

The Platform team builds the foundation every engineer at Machinifyworks on top of. Our scope is unusually broad: developer tooling and shared standards, observability and resilience engineering, core product server systems, and a growing Rust framework for building correct services fast. We lead AI tool adoption across the entire company. This is a staff-level IC role
-you'llhave real influence over technical direction without managing people.

We'rehonest about the challenge. We inherited complex and important Scala systems that need scaling work and data layer rethinking. Some of the work is untangling implementationissuesso thereal architecturalproblems become visible. Ifyou'rethe kind of engineer who finds that satisfying - seeing through symptoms to root causes, making hard systems better - this is your team.

We have strong opinions about how engineering should work. Emotional safety matters. We lead with empathy for our users and our colleagues. We own the whole problem, not just the interesting parts. We build it right, test it thoroughly, and leave things better than we found them. Weoperatewith high trust and high autonomy, andwe'relooking for people who thrive in that environment.

Does this sound like the right opportunity to explore?...Letsconnect!

Some orall ofthe following:

• Dig into inherited Scala systems to find where the real problems are, separate symptoms from causes, and make them scale
• Redesign the data layer our ML and AI products depend on - this is an open, hard problem
• Build out a Rust framework that lets teams ship correct, performant services without reinventing fundamentals
• Improve observability and resilience across the platform so we find problems before our customers do
• Shape developer tooling and engineering standards - your work multiplies everyone else's effectiveness
• Drive AI tool adoption across the company, figuring out what actually helpsengineers work better
• Work across the full stack: JVM (Java/Scala), Rust, Python, SQL, and Spark

• Systems thinking.
  
  You see how pieces connect. When something breaks, you reason about thewhole system, not just thecomponentin front of you.
• Fearless code reading.
  
  You can drop into a large, unfamiliar codebase, build a mental model, and figure out what needs to change.
• Empathy for users.
  
  Whetherit'sa developer using your framework or an operator reading your error messages, youdesign forthe people downstream.
• Testing discipline.
  
  You test thoroughly not because someonerequiresit, but because you'veshipped enough software to know what happens when youdon't.
• Comfort with ambiguity.
  
  Our hardest problems don'tcome with specifications.
  
  You'reenergized, notparalyzed,by that.
