  • Lead the design and evolution of large platforms and distributed systems that are scalable, resilient, secure, and cost-efficient.
  • Serve as the technical authority on complex initiatives, guiding decisions that impact multiple teams and product areas.
  • Translate business and product strategy into long-term technical roadmaps and execution plans.
  • Mentor senior engineers and act as a force multiplier through influence rather than direct authority.

  • Strong proficiency in Golang and/or Ruby.
  • Strong architectural judgment balancing scalability, reliability, performance, security, and cost.
