About the Role:

  • This is an added headcount on a growing team, working on the next generation of flag-delivery architecture.
  • You will own critical-path systems that stream feature-flag configuration globally in near real time.
  • The stack includes Go, AWS, Terraform, and Datadog, but deep backend expertise matters most.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and operate distributed systems that deliver feature-flag configuration to SDKs.
  • Own and improve reliability, latency, and scalability of streaming and polling infrastructure.
  • Drive architectural decisions, trading off performance, cost, and operability.

What We're Looking For:

  • 6+ years of backend engineering with significant work on distributed or high-throughput systems.
  • Strong production ownership, including on-call experience and a focus on reliability.
  • Proficient in at least one backend language like Go, Rust, or Python and cloud platforms like AWS.
