## About the Role

* Experience: 8+ years of hands-on experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining highly available and high-performing distributed systems. You have a proven track record of building public-facing (consumer-grade) APIs and managing the complexities of versioning, deprecation, and consumption-based rate limiting.

 * Skills: You're a problem-solver with a strong grasp of software design principles, scalability, and system architecture. You thrive in fast-paced, innovative environments and prioritize Domain-Driven Design.
 * AI-first as a daily practice, not a talking point. You are actively using agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or comparable) and you have a point of view on where they help, where they hurt, and how to set the team's defaults.

## Description

* AI First Mindset: Deep agentic experience (Claude Code, Cursor, or comparable) tools; not just daily use, but in depth understanding of agentic workflows, how to build a harness, how to structure a codebase for agents, etc.
 * Collaboration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product and Data Science, to unlock new opportunities and deliver seamless experiences for our customers.
 * Leadership: Mentor mid-to-senior level engineers, and lead efforts to ensure the quality, scalability, and robustness of our software.
 * Ownership: Lead key initiatives that improve efficiency, enhance system performance, and drive customer satisfaction.
