## About the Role

8+ years building and operating high-traffic, customer-facing systems, including technical leadership across multiple teams Strong CS fundamentals: object-oriented design, relational database design, and systems reasoning Fluency at the system and cloud level: eventing (Kafka, SNS, SQS), workflow orchestration (Temporal, Airflow, DAGs), distributed systems tradeoffs, caching, async pipelines, idempotency, backpressure Comfortable moving between layers and stacks; language is a tool, not an identity. Our stack today is PHP/Magento on the backend and React/Next on the frontend, on AWS. Working knowledge of AWS (Lambda, S3, CloudWatch, SQS, etc.) and clear reasoning about tradeoffs between relational, document, and wide-column stores A track record of shipping high-impact, customer-facing features in production at scale A track record of setting technical direction: proposals written, architectures adopted, migrations landed, standards others follow Strong written and visual
communicator; diagrams, design docs, and proposals are how you think out loud Influence without authority: has aligned engineers, Product, and leadership across teams on a direction and delivered it Has measurably leveled up the engineers around them Concise, high-altitude communicator who defaults to options plus recommendation, not exhaustive detail Member-first orientation: Customer, Team, and Business, in that order Observability and monitoring experience (New Relic, Datadog, or similar) to maintain SLA, Apdex, and error rate Growth, e-commerce, subscription, or membership experience is a plus: funnels, experimentation, attribution and pixels, payments and recurring billing.
