💭 Our dream candidate

You are a highly capable backend engineer who finds joy in the complexity of distributed systems, API architecture, and infrastructure automation. You fit right in if you:

• Drive the AI Future: You know how to work smarter, not just harder. You are expected to drive innovation, automating and optimizing the integration flow with agentic tools. From writing and reviewing code to optimizing the broader software development lifecycle, you use AI tools to boost efficiency, debug complex data flows, and solve problems faster.

• Master Integration Platform: You thrive on solving integration challenges with a platform-first mindset. You favor building reusable components and scalable patterns over one-off, individual integrations. You understand how to map disparate data models, handle rate limits, and manage webhooks while treating the integration layer as a robust, secure, and well-documented product.

• Architect for Reliability: You take full ownership of the systems you build. You proactively design for failure, implementing comprehensive monitoring and alerting strategies to ensure high availability. You treat infrastructure as a first-class citizen and are comfortable managing the lifecycle of cloud services.

• Value Documentation: You believe that code is only as good as its documentation. You take pride in writing clear, maintainable technical guides that enable internal teams and external partners to succeed without friction.

• Are a Systems & Product Thinker: You take end-to-end ownership of outcomes, applying systems and product thinking to look beyond individual services. You proactively identify bottlenecks and favor clean, modular architecture, while also taking accountability for driving the business impact of the solutions your team builds.

• You will actively manage our AWS cloud infrastructure, writing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to ensure environment parity and security.

• You will evolve our integration strategy, championing a platform-first mindset that drives synergies across our integration ecosystem, while ensuring high-performance, secure communication between internal and external systems.

• You will leverage cutting-edge AI-powered tools across the entire software development lifecycle—from system design and code generation to infrastructure automation, log analysis, and performance monitoring—to drive innovation and efficiency.

• You will provide technical support and create high-quality documentation to ensure the long-term maintainability of our connectivity layer.
