The work spans databases, streaming systems and request routing, with end-to-end ownership and close work with Product, security, infrastructure and enterprise customers. Requirements include 9+ years of backend or platform engineering, one of Python, Go, Rust or TypeScript, and leading cross-functional initiatives. Product judgment and developer empathy are emphasized alongside systems depth.
