Engineering Manager
We’re looking for a Staff Backend Engineer (7+ years) to architect and lead backend systems that power our core AI data platforms. You’ll own large-scale distributed systems, drive backend design strategy, and work across product,
infrastructure, and AI teams to deliver resilient, high-performance services.
This is a high-impact IC role for engineers who enjoy solving complex systems problems, mentoring teams, and influencing architecture across multiple domains.
What You’ll Do:
  • Architect and scale backend services that support large-scale data
    ingestion, transformation, workflow orchestration, and secure delivery pipelines.
  • Lead system design and technical roadmapping across projects, ensuring platforms are resilient, extensible, and aligned with long-term goals.
  • Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, leading by example in code quality, documentation, and system thinking.
  • Own backend performance and reliability, introducing metrics-driven approaches to scale systems efficiently and reduce operational overhead.
  • Collaborate across disciplines — AI researchers, frontend, data, DevOps, and product teams — to design APIs and services with clear boundaries and SLAs.
  • Champion platform evolution, identifying and driving initiatives around observability, developer tooling, scalability, and security.
  • Influence technical direction across engineering by leading design
    reviews, promoting best practices, and contributing to internal engineering
    standards

What You Bring:
  • Bachelor’s/Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • 7+ years of professional experience in backend software engineering, with at
    least 2+ years operating at a staff level or equivalent.
  • Proven experience designing and scaling backend systems in production — with a strong grasp of distributed systems, microservices, and service-oriented architecture.
  • Advanced proficiency in one or more backend languages from Go, Java, and Python.
  • Good understanding of cloud-native architectures (AWS, GCP, or Azure),
    containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).
  • Deep knowledge of data modeling, API design (REST/GraphQL/RPC),
    caching, SDKs, developer tooling and asynchronous systems (queues, event buses).
  • Experience implementing secure, observable, and testable systems.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, and deployment tooling (GitHub workflows, CircleCI, etc.).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to drive alignment across teams.
  • Experience working on data-intensive SaaS platforms, scalable backend
    services, or high-throughput data processing systems.
  • Familiarity with event-driven and domain-driven design.
  • Deep understanding of data structures, algorithms, system design, and architectural patterns.
  • Background in leading technical initiatives across multiple teams and
    contributing to org-level architecture.
  • Strong bias for action and ownership; comfortable making architectural decisions with long-term impact.
  • Experience in mentoring up to SDE 3 engineers and participating in technical hiring loops.
