**This role is hybrid with 3 days a week in our NYC office.**
Who are we looking for?
Pinwheel's Integrations Platform (IP) team builds the services, primitives, and tooling that make 1800+ integrations work at scale - proxy management, browser automation, identity flows, session handling, and the runtime that every Integrations Engineer (IE) builds on top of.
We're hiring a Senior Platform Engineer to own platform-level problem spaces end-to-end, raise the technical bar, and make the Integrations Engineering team measurably more productive. You'll identify categories of recurring problems, design systems that eliminate them, and lead the execution alongside junior and mid-level engineers.
Pinwheel is a hybrid environment, with a 3-day in-office requirement here in our NYC headquarters, near Union Square.
What will you do?

• Own platform initiatives end-to-end: scope, design, build, ship, and maintain
• Drive systems design for new integration infrastructure, including services, queues, data pipelines, async workflows
• Lead projects staffed with junior and mid-level engineers; make them measurably more productive through code review, design feedback, and the systems you build
• Identify and eliminate classes of problems rather than patching individual one off bugs
• Set technical direction in ambiguous problem spaces
• Collaborate closely with IE and adjacent teams to ensure platform primitives meet real consumer needs

What qualifications are necessary?

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience
• Computer Science degree or comparable experience
• Experience designing and operating services that handle concurrency, failure modes, and meaningful scale
• Experience with backend platform / infrastructure: services, queues, data pipelines, async processing
• Strong systems design: your designs get adopted by peers; you can defend tradeoffs and anticipate failure modes
• Demonstrated autonomous project leadership: examples of owning ambiguous, multi-quarter projects from idea to business outcomes
• AI-forward thinking: you have set yourself apart from others in willingness to drive AI projects forward

Nice to haves:

• Integrations experience: you've built against third-party APIs, dealt with auth flows, rate limits, and the operational reality of depending on external systems
• Browser automation experience (Selenium, CDP, Playwright): useful context for our integration surface
• Browser fingerprinting / detection work
• Expertise in Python
• Experience working in Fintech or comparable regulatory environment
• Track record of reducing oncall noise
