We're looking for a Senior Cloud Backend Engineer to join our Infrastructure Team.  You should enjoy solving complex problems, working deep in the details, helping other developers, and owning systems end-to-end.  This role also includes being a key part of our weekend on-call rotation, supporting the reliability of our platform.

Are you passionate about building reliable, scalable systems? Do you thrive on open-ended problems? Do you love designing, building, and owning complex infrastructure from conception to production?  If yes, you're in the right place.

• Deploy and support our service infrastructure in Kubernetes
• Identify the right tools and technologies for major initiatives and then build them
• Help other teams and developers design robust and scalable systems.
• Scale and optimize multiple databases
• Build internal tooling that accelerates developer velocity
• Provide observability, monitoring, and visibility across our systems

**On-Call Responsibilities (2 rotations per month) - You will participate in a shared on-call rotation, typically 1-2 times per month, covering the period from Friday at 7:00 AM ET through Saturday at 5:00 PM ET.

• You'll receive full internal training to understand our architecture, operational flows, and incident procedures
• During your rotation, you are the primary point of escalation for production issues
• On-call is not a daily responsibility, only during your assigned weekends
• Shifts rotate across the team to maintain balance and avoid burnout

• Strong understanding of system architecture and cross-service dependencies
• Previous real-world experience in production on-call environments
• Ability to quickly assess incidents, identify scope/root cause, and understand platform impact
• Ability to classify severity and prioritize response appropriately
• Capability to deploy safe production hotfixes when needed
• Solid judgment under pressure - especially when operating independently
• Ownership mindset: from detection to mitigation to resolution

• 6+ years of experience as an independent backend or infrastructure engineer
• Ability to design and build scalable, reliable systems
• Strong communication skills
• Hands-on builder mentality - this is a coding role.
• While this is a remote position, we're currently only considering candidates who are already located in either the New York Tri-State area or the Columbus, OH area. Although there isn't a regular in-office schedule, we do ask team members to come into the office periodically for in-person collaboration from time to time, so being within a reasonable commuting distance is important for this role.
• Experience with:
  • Relational and non-relational databases
  • Major Cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure), GCP is an advantage
  • Streaming systems
  • Scaling large systems
  • Message queues
  • Monitoring systems like DataDog, Grafana, Groundcover
  • CI/CD, Git
  • Bonus Skills: Kubernetes and Knative (production experience) & ClickHouse

• Tooling: Git, GitHub, GCP build infrastructure, GitHub Actions

• We Are Customer Obsessed: From our mission to every detailed project, everything we do is designed to create a positive impact for our customers.
• We Move (Very!) Quickly: The speed at which we work, iterate, and deliver value is our most competitive advantage.
