Explore AI-assisted development tools and incorporate them into build and deployment workflows where useful.

Investigate complex distributed systems issues and deliver reliable solutions.

What We're Looking For

Typically 5 to 10+ years of relevant experience, including hands-on ownership of production infrastructure.

Deep AWS expertise and strong Infrastructure as Code experience with Terraform or a similar tool.

Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts, including ordering, idempotency, retries, at-least-once delivery, and partial failure recovery.

Production PostgreSQL experience with connection pooling, migrations, performance optimization, and backup and restore.

Ability to read and understand TypeScript and Node.js codebases, with familiarity with NestJS.

Experience operating high-traffic, highly available systems and strong independent debugging skills.

Comfort using AI coding tools while maintaining strong technical judgment and problem-solving skills.

Collaborative communication style and a genuine interest in the product and its users.
