About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Lead the technical design and delivery of backend initiatives spanning teams
- Identify and remove systemic bottlenecks across product and infrastructure groups
- Drive modular backend, service, data, and platform architecture
- Modernize the monolith and legacy backends while preventing fragmentation and service sprawl
- Define and improve standards for APIs, contracts, compatibility, schema evolution, testing, security, performance, observability, operability, and maintainability
- Establish patterns for dependency management, data ownership, eventing, failure isolation, service maturity, and operational documentation
- Establish Go service patterns and Kubernetes operating practices
- Guide Rust adoption where it addresses systems, security, performance, or supply-chain needs
- Participate in on-call and incident response and serve as a technical escalation point during complex incidents
- Partner with Product and Engineering leadership on platform roadmap decisions and investment trade-offs
- Mentor Senior and Intermediate engineers, reduce technical debt, build reusable patterns, and lead adoption of AI-assisted and agentic workflows with quality, security, privacy, and operational guardrails
- Collaborate with Product, Frontend, Infrastructure, Security, Data, Engineering Managers, and engineers across product groups
Requirements
What you’ll need- A record of leading technical work across more than one team or a broad product area
- Deep backend architecture and production experience with complex applications, services, or platforms, including application programming interfaces, service platforms, data systems, modular monoliths, or shared backend components
- Experience modernizing a monolith or legacy backend architecture in production and using modular approaches such as bounded contexts, package encapsulation, ports and adapters, service extraction, or event-driven boundaries
- Experience building alignment through clear written proposals and decision records so teams document, understand, and adopt technical decisions
- Experience making trade-offs among customer outcomes, delivery speed, technical health, reliability, and long-term platform investment
- Experience mentoring engineers and shaping standards through code review, documentation, and practice
- Production experience with artificial intelligence-assisted or agentic engineering workflows, including improving how a team adopts them
- Experience establishing Go service patterns and Kubernetes operating practices
- Experience guiding Rust adoption for systems, security, performance, or supply-chain needs
- Ability to work independently in an all-remote, asynchronous environment and communicate decisions clearly in writing
