This role is for a seasoned builder who can own hard problems end-to-end: architecture, code, rollout, and long-term operability. Youll set technical direction, mentor senior engineers, and land changes that move key SLOswhile keeping security non-negotiable.
Responsibilities
Lead design and delivery of high-throughput, low-latency backend services powering our Zero Trust platform (policy evaluation, session brokering, identity flows, audit pipelines)
Evolve a globally distributed, multi-tenant architecture with strong isolation, graceful degradation, and zero-downtime deploys
Drive performance engineering: profiling, load testing, and capacity planning
Raise the bar on security by design
Define SLIs/SLOs and build the telemetry (metrics, traces, logs) and runbooks to ensure reliability and accountability
Mentor engineers; shape code quality, design practices, and incident culture
Requirements: 7+ years of experience building production backends and leading complex, distributed system projects
B.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
Strong systems thinking and ability to navigate trade-offs (latency vs. consistency, safety vs. speed)
Ability to turn ambiguous problem spaces into clear, incremental roadmaps and deliver them
Enjoy mentoring and raising the bar without ceremony or ego
Treat security and reliability as first-class features, not afterthoughts
This position is open to all candidates.
