What You Bring - We appreciate articulate and “low ego” people who want to grow as part of a team. - 10 + years building distributed, production SaaS services—at least 5 years leading large-scale Node/TypeScript or similar back-end stacks. - Deep expertise in distributed systems fundamentals—shard routing, consensus, eventual consistency, back-pressure, and circuit-breaker patterns. - Demonstrated success designing high-throughput, low-latency APIs (gRPC / REST / WebSocket)—including streaming responses and resumable sessions. - Hands-on experience with observability: OpenTelemetry, log/metric pipelines, synthetic checks, and SLO dashboards. - Exposure to LLM tooling (LangChain/LangGraph, OpenAI function calls, vector-search, RAG orchestration) and enthusiasm for advancing GenAI architectures. - Clear, persuasive written communication—your ADRs and RFCs set the standard others emulate. - Nice-to-have: contribution history to Kibana or other large SPAs; ability to prototype front-end dashboards when it unblocks back-end work.
