Member of Technical Staff – Backend Software Engineer, API Platform

Role Overview

• Design, build, and operate mission-critical APIs in Python, Go, or Rust optimized for low latency, high throughput, and strong consistency.
• Lead major technical initiatives, from new platform components to multi-team system redesigns.
• Improve system reliability and security by implementing rate limiting, authentication, observability (metrics, tracing, logging), and automated testing.
• Collaborate across teams to determine when to extend existing systems versus build new, specialized services.
• Translate customer needs into scalable platform capabilities and generalized API features.
• Uphold engineering excellence through design reviews, code quality, and internal documentation.

Requirements

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience with Python, Go, or Rust.
• Strong understanding of high-traffic API design: versioning, schema evolution, idempotency, auth patterns, and performance tuning.
• Hands-on experience running AWS services, plus fluency with Kubernetes, CI/CD, and modern DevOps practices.
• Experience with LLM or natural-language APIs (latency tuning, streaming, model orchestration) is a strong plus.
• Strong customer empathy and product sense, ensuring the APIs you build are ergonomic, well-documented, and easy to adopt.
