Job Details

BS / BA college degree or relevant experience
12+ years of experience building and evolving complex, distributed SaaS systems.
Demonstrated ownership of large-scale architectural initiatives that unlocked new product capabilities or competitive advantages.
Deep backend systems experience in one or more modern server environments (e.g., Java, Go, Python, Node.js), with the ability to ramp quickly in new stacks.
Experience designing and operating API-driven systems backed by relational databases such as Postgres or Aurora.
A track record of solving difficult scalability, data modeling, or interoperability challenges.
Experience influencing cross-team architecture in platform environments.
A principled but pragmatic approach to decoupled architectures and sound design principles.
A thoughtful perspective on AI-assisted development — understanding both its leverage and its risks.
Take full ownership of ambitious technical challenges, staying calm under pressure and disciplined when making high-risk decisions to drive projects to resolution.
Enjoy mentoring emerging technical talent, along with persuasively challenging assumptions at all levels—including senior leadership—without being dogmatic.
Experience with Node.js and TypeScript in large production systems is a plus, but not required.

Own and drive the technical strategy for the Compose pillar, aligning architecture with ambitious product goals and measurable business outcomes.
Identify and lead multi-team initiatives that unlock new competitive capabilities; not just incremental improvements.
Translate product vision into concrete technical problems and execution plans.
Lead high-impact efforts from architecture through delivery, especially where scale, ambiguity, or systemic risk is highest.
Establish and evolve architectural guardrails and governance processes to prevent drift as we scale.
Strengthen cross-pillar alignment with Design, Develop, and Infrastructure to enable clean integrations and platform interoperability.
Eliminate structural sources of technical debt and recurring risk, improving reliability, determinism, and operational clarity.
Increase engineering leverage through thoughtful automation and responsible use of AI-assisted tooling.
Raise the talent bar by mentoring senior engineers, contributing to hiring, and developing future Staff-level leaders.
