Responsibilities
Own revenue-critical event infrastructure. You'll work on systems that process customer usage data on which billing and invoicing depend. Design event streaming pipelines that handle high throughput with low latency. Build robust systems where data accuracy is non-negotiable and uptime is measured in nines
Design scalable data systems. You'll work with event streaming architectures, building sophisticated ingestion pipelines and query optimization strategies. Our event volumes grow with every new customer, so you'll architect systems that scale efficiently while keeping costs reasonable
Shape our backend architecture. You'll tackle our most complex technical challenges and set the standards for how we solve them. Our services run on Kotlin with Spring Boot, and you'll have significant influence over architectural patterns and how we approach infrastructure problems
Build for the next phase of growth. You'll design systems that work beautifully today and scale to 10x the load tomorrow. This means thinking about data storage strategies, horizontal scalability, and how your architectural decisions affect performance as volume increases
Drive impact on a small team. We've built an engineering culture around collaboration, learning, and shipping. You'll have significant influence on what we build, how we build it, and how we work together
