## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Build platform-level primitives for service provisioning, deploy tooling, workflow orchestration, and service ownership.
- Establish durable workflow orchestration as a first-class platform, defining best practices, building shared abstractions, and creating standards for reliable, long-running workflows.
- Design a declarative service configuration framework to simplify provisioning, deploying, and operating new services.
- Define the contract for service ownership, including integration with infrastructure abstractions and building a service catalogue for rapid incident resolution.
- Work at the intersection of developer experience and production reliability to create golden pathways for engineering teams.

## Requirements
- Experience building internal developer platforms, service frameworks, or infrastructure abstractions that other engineers depend on.
- Extensive work with Temporal, durable workflow engines, or similar orchestration systems, with strong opinions on best practices.
- Deep care for developer experience, designing systems for simplicity and correctness by default.
- Experience with deployment tooling, CI/CD pipelines, or service mesh architectures.
- Understanding of tradeoffs in microservice vs. monolith architectures and pragmatic guidance on service decomposition.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and enjoyment in shipping production systems that boost organizational productivity.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Passion for truth-seeking, creativity, and spirited debate in a flat, talent-dense organization.
