What you bring
- 8+ years building production backend systems, with strong experience in Java/Spring Boot (our primary stack) or a comparable backend framework where you can ramp quickly.
- Deep experience with relational databases at scale (ideally PostgreSQL). You've tuned queries, designed schemas for multi-tenant systems, and thought carefully about data partitioning.
- Production AWS experience where you've architected, deployed, and operated real systems.
- A track record of independently owning and shipping complex backend projects end-to-end.
- Strong technical judgment under ambiguity. You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and adjusting as you learn.
- Clear, direct communication. You can explain technical tradeoffs to engineers and non-engineers alike.
Nice to haves
- Experience with high-volume data integrations, bulk email distribution, and large-scale API orchestration.
- Background in multi-tenant B2B SaaS.
- Infrastructure-as-code experience (Pulumi, Terraform).
- Experience building or integrating AI features into production systems.
