Requirements

• Own observability across logs, metrics, tracing, alerting, profiling, and production debugging
• Be directly involved in incident response, uptime, scaling, and backend reliability
• Work closely with the founders on architecture, product shape, and technical tradeoffs
• Propose better systems, better abstractions, and better product behavior instead of waiting to be told what to build
• Help set the bar for backend engineering as the company grows
• Expert Go Proficiency: Deep expertise in Go, including sophisticated concurrency patterns, context management, race detection, and profiling.
• Distributed Systems Mastery: A proven track record of building user-facing, low-latency systems at scale.
• Database Fundamentals: Strong experience in schema design, transaction management, and performance tuning for high-throughput applications.
• Operational Excellence: Experience operating production systems directly, including modern DevOps (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP) and live incident response.
• Startup DNA: Comfort in a high-autonomy, 'docs-heavy,' and async-first environment where you move quickly.
