Your Impact

● Architectural Leadership: Lead design discussions, write comprehensive Design Docs, define APIs and service contracts, and resolve complex integration trade-offs so our systems work together reliably at scale.

● Drive Measurable Results: Take ownership of vague goals or ambiguous problem spaces (e.g., reducing latency, improving defect escape rates) and translate them into concrete execution plans with measurable, end-to-end outcomes.

● Modernization & AI Adoption: Champion the use of AI tools and spec-driven development methodologies to accelerate engineering velocity. Leverage your familiarity with the AI Life Cycle Development (AILDC) process to integrate context and improve system intelligence.

● Engineering Excellence: Define libraries, scaffolding, and testing strategies that reduce boilerplate and ensure quality. Lead incident response, drive root cause analysis (RCA), and implement durable fixes that systematically reduce MTTR.

● Customer-Centric Execution: Use data to advocate for ROI in architectural choices. Anticipate unstated customer needs and build solutions that directly address them, pushing back on low-value work to maintain focus.

● Technical Strategy & Influence: Align the technical roadmap ensuring the platform remains resilient, performant, and future-proof.

● Mentorship & Cultural Stewardship: Act as a "Multiplier." You will mentor senior and staff engineers, fostering an environment of high psychological safety and radical candor.

Success Profile & Skills

We are looking for a candidate who has 12+ years of software engineering experience, with a significant portion dedicated to designing and operating large-scale distributed systems in a cloud-native environment, with technical scars of an engineer and a strategic mindset of a leader. Below is the list of skils:

● Proven Technical Scope: Extensive experience operating at a Principal level (or equivalent), with a track record of owning cross-service architecture and delivering high-impact features from inception to production.

● AI & Spec-Driven Development: Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools. Familiarity with spec-driven development practices and at least a foundational understanding of the AILDC (AI Life Cycle Development) framework.

● Technical Stack: Advanced proficiency in Node.js and Angular. Strong preference for candidates with solid experience in Python.

● System Design & Quality: Deep expertise in building highly available, distributed systems. Strong focus on details, including defensive coding, threat modeling, and implementing robust automation and testing strategies.

● Exceptional Communication: Ability to articulate complex technical trade-offs clearly to stakeholders and translate overarching product vision into actionable technical tasks for the team.

● Leadership Background: Previous experience as a manager, demonstrating strong capabilities in team development, project planning, and cross-functional communication are a huge advantage

Why Join Us?

● Modernize at Scale: You won't be tweaking the edges; you will be gutting and rebuilding the core of our Identity platform.

● AI-First Culture: We don't just "use" AI; we are rebuilding our SDLC around it. You will be at the forefront of the AILDC movement.

● Leadership Track: This role is designed for those who want to be a leader while staying close to the technology.
