Platform Support for Product Features\n You will build out the platform features necessary to enable our product roadmap, including primitives for real-time data transfer, background execution, and scalable APIs.\nRequired background\nCandidates typically show:\nA strong technical foundation from a top CS program or equivalent hands-on experience building real scalable systems\n\nExperience building or operating distributed systems in production (cloud infrastructure, backend services, or platforms)\n\nEvidence of ambitious, self-driven projects or work that required problem solving and ownership\n\nExperience designing scalable systems that support many users\n\nSolid programming fundamentals and some experience with Typescript\n\nExceptional ability to read deeply, reason clearly, and communicate complex ideas\n\nExperience working in fast-paced environments while balancing care with urgency\n\nNice to have\nPrior experience in platform, infrastructure, or backend roles\n\nExperience building early-stage systems at a scaleup\n\nPrevious experience as a sysadmin\n\nPersonal projects that show initiative, creativity, and independent thinking\n\nBackgrounds or interests that span technical and non-technical domains (e.g. writing, design, philosophy, economics, etc)\n\nWhy this role matters\nWe are building the cloud that will support the next billion developers. This role will own large critical pieces of infrastructure that will support a large and growing platform. You will take on challenges that stretch your abilities and solve problems that materially shape the future of the product.\nAs the platform grows, your work will define the reliability, performance, and safety guarantees our users build on. This is foundational infrastructure, and it has to work.\nIn all roles\nWe look for:\nIntense. Ship fast. Cycles are hours, not weeks. Hard to outwork.\nOwnership. Grab the #1 priority and relentless to deliver.\nFearlessness. Risk on. Do the unknown / uncomfortable. Say \"good\" to bad news.\nTaste. Obsess over quality. Know what “great” looks like.
