Your mission

Role Summary

  • We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer / Tech Lead who can operate as a senior individual contributor while also setting technical direction, establishing engineering standards, and mentoring the team as we grow.

  • This role is ideal for someone who has already worked as a senior/staff-level engineer or informal tech lead, and wants to take on more architectural ownership and long-term influence in a fast-moving AI-centric environment.

  • Drive observability, monitoring, and instrumentation practices

Engineering Leadership (non-manager IC)

  • Guide backend engineers through complex problem-solving and design

  • Contribute to hiring, interviewing, and onboarding future team members

  • Work closely with product to drive technical planning and roadmap execution
