Senior/Staff Software Engineer (Platform and Execution Model)

About the Role:

• As a Senior or Staff Software Engineer, you'll build and own critical parts of Trase OS, the shared platform powering Trase deployments in regulated environments.
• You'll work on distributed systems and platform primitives connecting workflows, agents, tools, and product surfaces, focusing on reliability, scalability, and correctness.
• You'll take on technically ambiguous problems, design solutions, and drive them through production.

What You'll Do:

• Design, build, and own critical components of the core execution model, including state machine, lifecycle, resource model, and failure semantics.
• Build reliable distributed systems that behave predictably across retries, restarts, partial failures, and concurrent execution.
• Develop platform APIs/SDKs, guarantee correctness via idempotency and deterministic replays, and deliver observability with an explainable trail of agent actions.

What We're Looking For:

• 8+ years of experience building distributed/platform systems and 4+ years owning mission-critical runtimes or workflow/orchestration systems.
• Deep expertise with durable execution, security & governance, and observability in production systems.
• Excellence in a modern language (Go, Rust, Java, or TypeScript) and cloud-native stacks, with bias toward correctness, clarity, and documentation.
