We are a small but fierce tiger team that moves fast but has done things right since day one and we aim to keep it that way. If you enjoy learning and growing your skillset in sophisticated distributed systems always think before you code love using the latest and greatest tools and instrumentation and cringe at the word tech debt then please apply!

Our core stack:

Golang Postgres Kubernetes GCP (PubSub Bigtable BigQuery and more).

What youll do:

• Work closely with the rest of the team to evolve the Integrations platform to handle trillions of tuples across hundreds of different integrations.
• Own the design implementation testing monitoring and optimization of integration connectors.
• Work closely with both technical and non-technical cross-team stakeholders to get our data streams where theyll have the biggest impact on the entire business.

• Join our on-call and other rotations that share the load equally among the team. It takes a village..
• Bring energy and creativity to our use of AI our knowledge shares retros and other regular team growth activities.

About you:

• 5 years of experience as a full-time backend engineer working on a SaaS product with a large data component. I.e. not just building APIs for UIs.
• Experience with distributed microservice architectures: reliable service design for autoscaling (containers appear and disappear all the time) RESTful service-to-service communication (even if its an RPC protocol).
• Experience with at least one compiled language. Golang is preferred but Rust Kotlin Java C are welcome.
• Experience with at least one messaging system (Kafka SQS PubSub RabbitMQ etc) at scale (message volumes of 1K/s).
• A foundation in CS fundamentals: data types algorithms CPU/memory management networking how the internet works.
• Experience with observability systems for microservice architectures: structured logging tracing custom metrics.
• Are a design-driven professional. You form a plan of attack and articulate it on paper to make sure its sound. You dont document for-its-own-sake but you dont just start shoveling code and pray for the best either.
• Are comfortable with Postgres-flavor databases. Youre not necessarily a SQL expert but you know about relational database concerns (indices foreign/unique constraints why you should never use stored procedures).
• Are more comfortable on the command-line than in UIs.
• Can communicate clearly and concisely with both technical and non-technical peers.
• An idealistic but practical mindset: aim for the stars but focus on what will make the biggest difference right now.
