## About the role

In this role, you'll set technical direction for backend development, leverage your deep programming expertise to design and build scalable, reliable web application systems — working alongside AI coding agents as a core part of how you deliver, directing and reviewing their output while holding the bar on quality.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of experience spread across backend programming (additional full-stack experienced highly desired)
- Proven experience designing and shipping customer-facing web application products, you've built features that serve external users and you're energized by that kind of work!
- Meaningful experience with Java or Scala, Rust highly desired
- Experience designing, building, and operating distributed systems that run reliably on cloud-services at scale (high throughput, high availability)
- The ability to write a Technical Design Document (TDD) that a staff peer trusts and a product lead can understand — turning ambiguous product intent into concrete backend design
- A product and user-driven mindset. You connect your technical decisions to the people using what you build, and you care about the outcome, not just the implementation
