    WHAT YOU’LL OWN

    • Design and implement secure, multi-region systems and APIs that support millions of users with enterprise-grade security.

    • Happy to go deep: prefer building the right low-dependency solution rather than bolting on the latest library.
    • Product- and customer-focused. You care about fit & finish and good UX for admins and IT users.


    NICE TO HAVE

    • Experience with API/permissions modeling, complex admin/enterprise features, telemetry/event systems, or large refactors of monoliths.
    • Go experience preferred but we’ll hire Go-curious engineers coming from Java, Django, Rails, or C# backgrounds.
