Accountabilities

• Build scalable platform foundations: Design, develop, and maintain high-quality shared systems, services, APIs, and libraries that are relied upon by multiple engineering teams across the organization.
• Develop reusable product capabilities: Build shared customer-facing components and platform primitives such as notifications, comments, event infrastructure, audit trails, and other capabilities that help product teams deliver consistent experiences.
• Strengthen engineering foundations: Contribute to internal libraries, abstractions, developer tooling, testing frameworks, and established engineering patterns that create reliable and efficient development paths.
• Partner across teams: Work closely with engineering, product, and design stakeholders to understand requirements, translate them into well-designed technical solutions, and provide clear, well-documented APIs and services.
• Drive technical direction: Make and communicate architectural decisions, influence technical strategy across team boundaries, and balance scalability, maintainability, security, performance, and developer experience.
• Raise engineering standards: Participate actively in code reviews, design discussions, technical planning, and implementation while helping establish consistent standards for shared components and systems.
• Enable organizational scale: Produce thorough documentation and create systems that allow engineers across the organization to effectively adopt, understand, extend, and contribute to shared platform capabilities.
• Contribute to engineering culture: Bring strong technical judgment, collaboration, and continuous-improvement thinking to a scaling engineering organization.

Requirements

• Platform mindset: Demonstrated experience building shared APIs, services, libraries, or platform components that are consumed by multiple engineering teams, with an understanding of designing for internal customers and reuse.
• Distributed systems knowledge: Familiarity with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and message queue technologies such as Kafka, SQS, or comparable publish/subscribe systems.
• Technical judgment: A proven ability to make sound architectural decisions and deliver high-quality, maintainable software while balancing short-term delivery needs with long-term scalability.
• Cross-functional communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts and trade-offs clearly to engineering, product, design, and other stakeholders.
• Collaboration and influence: Ability to work effectively across organizational boundaries, build strong relationships with engineering teams, and influence technical outcomes without relying solely on formal authority.
• Developer experience orientation: Interest in creating intuitive abstractions, reliable tooling, clear documentation, and engineering patterns that make other developers more productive.
• AI-enabled engineering: Openness to using AI tools to amplify engineering capabilities, accelerate development, and improve impact while applying sound judgment and responsible practices.
