About this role
Role Overview
- Own and lead projects and product areas end-to-end, including architecture, implementation, rollout, and long-term operations.

- Drive performance and reliability improvements through profiling, tracing, load testing, and capacity planning.
- Mentor teammates through code reviews, design docs, and technical leadership.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience building and operating backend systems, distributed systems, or large-scale APIs.
- Proven track record owning low-latency, reliable services (auth, rate limiting, quotas, usage metering, migrations).

- Comfort working across the stack when needed (backend-first, but willing to dive into frontend/CLI to unblock the product).

- Interest in AI/ML infrastructure and willingness to learn (ML expertise not required).
