- Balance delivery speed with investment in foundational system quality.
- Work with stakeholders and product teams to shape architecture and technical direction.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, including operating high-traffic, high-availability systems at scale.
- Deep, hands-on experience running production infrastructure on AWS and managing infrastructure as code with Terraform or a similar tool.
- Production PostgreSQL expertise, including connection pooling, migrations, performance optimization, and backup and restore.
- Experience building or maintaining production CI/CD pipelines and working with distributed-systems concepts such as ordering guarantees, idempotency, retries, at-least-once delivery, and partial-failure recovery.
- Ability to read and understand TypeScript and Node.js application code, including NestJS codebases.
- Experience with AI-assisted development workflows, such as agentic coding tools, multi-agent setups, or MCP servers, alongside the independent technical judgment to debug and reason about architecture.
