Required Skills
AWSNode.jsTypeScriptDistributed Systems

Requirements

  • Have proven experience building large-scale backend or data systems where reliability, throughput, latency, scalability, and cost matter.
  • Have taken systems from concept to production, including scoping, architecture, implementation, release, operation, measurement, and improvement.
  • Have strong knowledge of distributed systems and reason effectively about partial failures, retries, idempotency, backpressure, scaling, and fault tolerance.
  • Have experience building and maintaining integrations with third-party APIs or unreliable, rate-limited, or frequently changing external dependencies.
  • Bring operational ownership experience using observability, monitoring, alerting, runbooks, and data-quality controls.
  • Have experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS.
  • Be proficient with TypeScript and Node.js.
  • Be familiar with databases, queues, object storage, infrastructure as code, and distributed cloud services.
  • Be able to work autonomously on ambiguous technical challenges, gather requirements, and move projects forward without fully defined specifications.
  • Communicate technical tradeoffs clearly, provide constructive feedback, and collaborate across teams.
  • Proxy management, request routing, or high-volume traffic management experience is valuable.
  • Social-media APIs, large-scale data collection, data-quality frameworks, or freshness and coverage monitoring experience is a bonus.

Responsibilities

  • Build and evolve backend systems that collect and maintain more than 400 million creator profiles across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
  • Develop collection infrastructure to process billions of data points while maintaining freshness, coverage, and data quality.
  • Design resilient services that handle third-party API instability, rate limits, provider outages, platform changes, and partial failures.
  • Optimize requests, proxy usage, retries, storage, compute, and other infrastructure costs.
  • Design and maintain systems that determine which creators to collect, when to collect them, and how frequently.
  • Own backend systems across requirements gathering, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, operation, and iteration.
  • Build observability, alerting, monitoring, and operational safeguards for collection failures, data-quality issues, coverage gaps, and freshness regressions.
  • Work with data, search, product, and engineering teams to establish reliable system interfaces and dependencies.
  • Evaluate technical approaches through production experiments, including throughput, failure modes, scalability, reliability, and unit economics.
  • Contribute to engineering standards, architecture decisions, code reviews, and technical direction for production-critical infrastructure.
