## About the role

As a Staff Backend Engineer, Data Ingestion, you'll own the backend platform and observability systems that keep Scribe's Workflow Mapping capture and ingestion systems healthy at scale. Our desktop apps and browser extensions run across hundreds of thousands of installations worldwide. You'll build the systems that help us understand whether those apps are capturing data reliably, identify problems across the fleet, and ensure the data they produce flows dependably into our processing and AI pipelines.

## What they're looking for

- You bring deep experience building backend applications and a track record of owning complex production systems at Staff-level scope
- You have strong Python skills and are comfortable working across TypeScript and Go as needed
- You've designed and operated distributed systems and large-scale data ingestion pipelines, and understand the tradeoffs between reliability, performance, and scale
- You've built monitoring and observability systems that make production health measurable and help teams detect, diagnose, and resolve failures
- You're confident working with message queues, background jobs, and task orchestration tools such as Celery, SQS, RabbitMQ, or Kafka
- You have experience designing, deploying, and maintaining production services in AWS
