Your responsibilities
You will serve as a technical strategist, enabling 10x API delivery speed and establishing the trust required for enterprise adoption. Your work will bridge the gap between complex distributed systems and seamless partner integrations. You will:
- Drive API Strategy & Scale: Architect a hyper-scalable infrastructure designed to support exponential growth in traffic and data volume. You will set the technical vision for our microservices, ensuring our systems remain resilient, secure, and performant as we scale to the next tier of usage.
- Enable the Partner Ecosystem: Lead the technical side of strategic partnerships, building integrations with AWS Marketplace and enterprise SaaS providers. You will own the delivery of "Trust" features—such as granular billing, residency controls, and auditability—that are essential for closing enterprise deals.
- Force-Multiply Engineering Velocity: Establish rigorous platform standards (contracts, versioning, security) that raise the bar for the entire organization. By building self-service tooling and automated quality gates, you will empower product teams to deploy independently without breaking production.
Qualities we look for
- Distinguished Technical Experience: 10+ years in software engineering with a focus on high-scale distributed systems and API platform architecture. You have "been there, done that" with modern cloud stacks and backend technologies, and you drive engineering cultures centered on automated testing and operational discipline.
- Enterprise Integration Mastery: You understand the nuance of the enterprise landscape. You have deep experience navigating compliance, security, and data residency challenges while building integration patterns that allow third-party ecosystems to thrive on top of your platform.
- Strategic Communication: You can translate complex technical challenges into clear strategic proposals. You are adept at writing RFCs and influencing stakeholders across the business—from product managers to other Staff engineers—driving consensus and execution in ambiguous environments.
- AI-Native Developer: You embrace the potential of AI to transform software development. You actively use and advocate for AI tools to streamline workflows and are eager to guide the organization in adopting AI-assisted engineering practices.
