- Write and maintain documentation and runbooks for the systems you own.
- Participate in on-call rotation for the internal platform services; respond to incidents, own post-incident reviews, and drive reliability improvements from what is learned.
- Provide expert code reviews and technical mentorship within the team.
- Design solutions on modern infrastructure (cloud solutions, k8s, LLMs) with expert level understanding of what and why, not just being able to call infrastructure or run pipelines.
What We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of professional software development experience, with meaningful time spent building backend services or service integrations
- Deep experience with back-end languages such as Python and Golang.
- You’re comfortable paired programming and design solutions considering the team ability to maintain it.
- Strong written communication; you document what you build and your documentation holds up over time
- Experience building integrations in a distributed systems environment; you understand async patterns, idempotency, and failure handling in practice
