What You'll Do

Core Platform Architecture: Lead the design and implementation of highly scalable, distributed core services and backend platform components using TypeScript and modern cloud-native technologies.

Orchestration & Messaging: Architect and maintain reliable asynchronous architectures, utilizing event streaming (Kafka) and complex workflow orchestration (Temporal) to power critical business logic.

Platform Security Systems: Own the evolution and scaling of our enterprise-grade authentication and authorization frameworks, ensuring seamless and secure data access layers.

End-to-End Data Engineering: Design, optimize, and scale complex backend data platforms and document-based storage systems (MongoDB) to handle high-throughput workloads.

Technical Leadership & Standards: Establish clean coding patterns, robust architectural standards, and best practices for the backend engineering organization while mentoring junior and senior engineers.

Cross-Functional Influence: Partner closely with Product, Security, and Core Infrastructure teams to align platform capabilities with long-term product roadmaps and strategic company goals.

What You'll Bring

10+ years of software engineering experience with a deep, specialized focus on "pure" backend engineering, distributed systems, and core platform development
Expert-level proficiency with TypeScript alongside deep production experience within our modern ecosystem stack (Temporal, Kafka, MongoDB, and AWS)
Proven experience delivering high-impact architectural solutions within fast-paced, high-growth Series B or Series C environments
Strong background in the B2B SaaS space, with a track record of building platforms that scale alongside growing enterprise customer demands
Demonstrated success building complex, end-to-end data pipelines, identity/access systems, and high-availability core services from scratch
Clear Engineering Focus: A profile centered squarely on core backend application architecture rather than frontend/full-stack development or infrastructure-heavy/DevOps operations
Effective collaborator who can easily break down complex architectural technical concepts and influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders
