Remote · United StatesSalary not disclosedfull-timeClose Careers

As an Engineer on our Backend Platform team, you’re building for other engineers. When a product team adds a new API endpoint, most of what they write isn't their feature — it's wiring: authentication, permissions, rate limiting, the shape the endpoint has to take so it looks like every other endpoint when you squint.

Responsibilities

  • Build the paved roads for our API layer. REST blueprints, GraphQL schema, OpenAPI, realtime, and the auth and permission plumbing that every endpoint needs. Consistent patterns are what make shared utilities possible.
  • Own how we see production. Observability, metrics, alerting, and the readiness bar teams meet before shipping. When the same issues keep showing up in incident reviews, you make sure the underlying cause gets owned rather than re-triaged.
  • Set the guardrails for coding agents in our backend. Static analysis, linting, hooks, test harnesses — the constraints that make agent-written code safe to merge at volume.
  • Partner across the org. Infrastructure owns the substrate (AWS, Kubernetes, datastores); you own the application layer on top.
