We are building systems that operate at scale - high write volumes, real-time state sync, and burst traffic that doesn’t politely warn before it arrives.
We are looking for engineers who love owning systems end-to-end, care deeply about performance and reliability, and want to build things that don’t just work - but last.This is not a ticket-execution role. This is a system ownership role.
