In this role, you’ll have the unique opportunity to work directly with principal engineers, the Director of Product, and other executives. This position offers high visibility within the organization, as it is central to a new product line that the company is heavily invested in. Your contributions will not only influence the immediate project but also the broader strategic direction of the company.

- Advanced System Development: Develop sophisticated backend systems that support RBAC, user authentication, and real-time event and stream processing. Your expertise in low latency and high reliability will be crucial in systems where performance is directly tied to customer satisfaction.
What you’ll bring to the role
- Experience: At least 6 years of experience in building and leading the development of production-grade software products, with a proven ability to thrive in fast-paced environments. Prior experience as a tech-lead would be advantageous to this role.
