Requirements
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience, with hands-on proficiency in Golang or similar languages.
- Deep experience with event-driven and async architectures—Kafka, NATS, or comparable systems.
- Background in platform or infrastructure engineering: you've built shared internal platforms, not just product features.

- Govern shared UI component standards and design system practices used across teams.
- Establish and maintain engineering standards such as RFCs, ADRs, and architecture reviews.
- Partner closely with Operations and SRE to define observability standards (tracing, logging, metrics), SLO/SLI frameworks, and reliability practices.
