## About the Role

Senior/staff-level backend or platform engineering, we're hiring at level E or above band. We care about evidence & deep production ownership, not a year count.

 - You've built and operated platforms, libraries, or services that other engineers depend on, and you care about the contract you expose to them.
 - You're comfortable operating across many teams and influencing without authoritarianism: getting legal, security, data, and product crews who don't report to you aligned on a plan, and driving it to completion.
 - You bring pragmatism under constraint: you ship sound, safe solutions and improve them over time, rather than waiting for perfect.
 - Strong plus: prior privacy, GDPR, or data-governance exposure, and experience working in an enabling or platform-team operating model.
 - Explicitly not required: deep legal expertise. Legal and security partner with this role; they don't get replaced by it.

Mindset we value

 - You treat platform engineering as product work: engineers and members are your customers, and doing the right thing with their data should feel effortless.
 - You're hands-on: writing code is the bulk of the job (Python, TypeScript). You ship what you write to production yourself, then operate it: rollouts, alerting, on-call, incident response.
 - You design and communicate: you're as comfortable writing a framing doc, drawing a dependency map, and aligning several areas on a design decision as you are writing the code.
 - You're an enabler: you measure your impact by how fast areas run their own data rules without ever consulting you. The harder you've worked, the less they have to engage you.
 - You build reusable patterns: guardrails, libraries, and safe-by-default abstractions that keep data handling correct and safe by design at scale.
 - You're fluent in English (French is not required)., postgraduate degree
