What you’ll do
- Lead the architecture upgrade of our backend services — untangle legacy boundaries, define clean interfaces, build in first-class observability — and land it incrementally on live, high-QPS systems.
- Build the infrastructure that lets AI agents act safely in production.
- Automate high-toil engineering workflows into reliable, self-serve systems.
- Deliver backend capabilities for product initiatives (experiments, growth systems, serving changes) when the business needs them.
- Own reliability for what you build: observability, safe rollback, and lessons that feed the team’s knowledge base.
- 5+ years backend; strong Java; Kubernetes and CI/CD.
- You’ve led backend architecture design — service boundaries, data flows, high-QPS systems — ideally in large-scale recommendation, search, or ads systems, and lived with the consequences.
- You’ve refactored live production systems without breaking them: incremental migration, shadow verification, safe rollout are second nature.
- Rigorous about safety: you design for rollback and blast-radius control by default.
- Bonus: LLM-agent / AIOps exposure.
