  • Lead integrations with external systems and support early data onboarding
  • Establish engineering standards, tooling, documentation, and technical processes from the start
  • Set up observability, monitoring, and performance systems
  • Jump in wherever needed, from quick scripts and data cleaning to debugging production issues


Requirements:

  • 6 years of engineering experience with strong architecture / complex backend systems experience
  • Deep hands-on experience with AWS/Azure/GCP, distributed systems, and backend / full-stack development
  • Strong foundation in system design, APIs, secure infrastructure, and data flows
