• Strong understanding of system reliability and observability
• Experience working in high-growth production environments

Nice to Have

• Experience with streaming or real-time data systems
• Experience supporting data or ML platforms

Why This Role

• Own critical backend systems at the core of the platform
• Work on real-time, high-scale infrastructure problems
• Join a small, high-bar team with strong ownership
• Help build out a growing engineering presence in San Francisco
