This is a high-ownership role for an engineer who has built and operated production systems at scale.

  • Build and operate large-scale distributed systems serving hundreds of thousands of companies
  • Select and combine the right technologies across messaging, storage, databases, APIs, and infrastructure
  • Work with systems such as Kafka, large-scale databases, event-driven architectures, and distributed services
  • Break down hard, ambiguous technical problems and drive them to shipped outcomes
  • Own reliability, performance, scalability, and cost across the systems you build
  • Build AI-native agent systems used by revenue teams around the world
  • Partner with product, engineering, data, and go-to-market stakeholders to build high-impact capabilities
  • Use AI-assisted development as a core part of design, investigation, implementation, and iteration
  • Contribute to a culture of extreme ownership, continuous improvement, and bold experimentation

What We're Looking For

  • 5–8 years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong experience building and operating distributed systems in production
  • Backend engineering depth across APIs, services, data systems, and infrastructure
  • Experience working with technologies such as Kafka, event-driven systems, databases, or similar large-scale architecture patterns
  • Strong judgment around technical tradeoffs, system design, reliability, scalability, and cost
  • Ability to own complex systems end-to-end with minimal hand-holding
  • Experience breaking down ambiguous problems and turning them into shipped products
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving, high-ownership engineering culture
  • Interest in AI-native products, agent systems, and modern AI-assisted development workflows
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and business teams

Bonus Experience

  • Experience building AI agents, AI-native workflows, or LLM-powered products
  • Experience in sales technology, marketing technology, revenue platforms, data platforms, or CRM systems
  • Experience operating systems used by large customer bases or high-volume enterprise workflows
  • Experience with data-intensive products, enrichment systems, search, recommendations, or automation platforms
  • Experience at a profitable, high-growth SaaS company
