## About the role

The product platform is the layer other product teams build on. Today that means identity and access, including customer SSO, invitations, and sessions; the organization and tenancy model; the shared services, APIs, and schemas that carry customer data between products; and the developer experience, including the tooling and agent workflows engineers use to ship. The scope grows whenever product teams need a capability that should be built once.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of software engineering experience with strong backend depth and the range to work across full-stack product surfaces and across domains, since this platform will span authorization, messaging, model operations, and data ingestion
- Track record of owning architectural decisions on complex production systems that multiple teams rely on, especially customer-facing or cross-functional ones
- Proficient in Python or able to demonstrate strong backend depth in a Python-based technical interview
- Strong hands-on experience designing and operating cloud-native systems, GCP preferred
- Experience with relational data modeling and schema evolution in systems where a wrong migration is expensive
- Strong product instincts: you judge a system by whether it is useful and correct, and elegance comes second
