• Own and advance backend and platform work with an immediate focus on scalable, highly available services and APIs using Golang and C#/.NET; design cloud-native AWS solutions using appropriate data stores, messaging, observability, security controls, and operational practices
• Provide technical leadership for cross-team and multi-quarter initiatives by defining target architecture, identifying risks and dependencies, breaking ambiguous work into viable milestones, aligning stakeholders, and driving execution through completion
• Contribute hands-on production-quality code across the stack, including Windows desktop components in C#/.NET and WPF as well as backend services; establish clear interfaces and integration patterns between client and service layers
• Improve the engineering system through high-quality design reviews, code reviews, technical documentation, test strategy, CI/CD practices, Infrastructure as Code, and effective use of engineering and AI-assisted development tools
• Establish operational excellence by designing for observability, resilience, recoverability, and secure operation; investigate and resolve complex production issues, participate in on-call support as needed, and lead root-cause analysis and durable corrective actions
• Mentor engineers and multiply team effectiveness through coaching, pairing, technical feedback, knowledge sharing, and stewardship of engineering standards; serve as a trusted technical resource for complex domains and code bases
• Partner with Product Management, Design, QA, Architecture, InfoSec, DevOps, and customer-facing stakeholders to refine loosely defined requirements into demonstrable, customer-centered solutions that advance the Revu product vision

• Experience with automated CI/CD and modern software delivery practices, including testing at multiple levels, release automation, monitoring, and Infrastructure as Code such as Terraform or similar tooling
• Ability to define technical designs, test strategies, service-level expectations, and operational readiness criteria for complex systems
• Demonstrated technical leadership on large, cross-functional, or multi-year initiatives, including the ability to turn broad goals into well-sequenced technical plans and deliver measurable outcomes
• Proven ability to mentor engineers, raise engineering quality, build alignment without formal authority, and help teams make effective decisions under ambiguity
• Strong customer empathy and product judgment, with a consistent focus on creating reliable, intuitive experiences for design and construction professionals
• A collaborative, results-oriented, organized mindset; intellectual curiosity and willingness to learn, challenge assumptions constructively, and expand technical breadth
• Experience working with complex product technologies such as PDF processing, image processing, 3D rendering, AI-enabled capabilities, or other performance-sensitive domains is valuable
