• Design and operate event-driven cloud services supporting automation, workspace management, integrations, and AI-agent execution.
• Partner with server-engineering, product, design, operations, and engineering teams to identify workflow friction and deliver internal platform capabilities.
• Establish patterns for access control, observability, auditability, privacy, and safe AI use.
• Raise engineering quality through architecture reviews, pragmatic standards, coaching, and technical leadership without formal authority.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional experience designing, building, and operating production server-side systems in Go, C#, Python, or a comparable language.
• Track record of implementing and iterating on complex, distributed, high-availability systems and partnering with senior technical leadership across multiple teams or product areas.
• Hands-on experience with cloud-native platforms, AWS, containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and secure service-to-service communication.
• Expertise in several areas including asynchronous messaging, APIs, databases, caching, observability, performance engineering, reliability, and incident response.
