This role requires a balance of deep hands-on engineering and systems thinking. You will own complex features from ideation to production, championing best-in-class platform standards and mentoring mid-level engineers while remaining deeply embedded in the codebase. On the engineering side, we are pioneering the use of AI as a code collaborator. We need engineers who have moved beyond experimentation—who actively use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot to ship production code faster while maintaining exceptional quality. Responsibilities - Implement team-level standards for AI-augmented development, utilizing prompt engineering and validation frameworks to increase velocity without sacrificing code quality. - Identify and mitigate AI-generated code pitfalls, such as security vulnerabilities or over-abstraction, and assist in tracking team productivity metrics. - Design, build, and maintain highly available cloud-native infrastructure, ensuring the platform scales reliably with our growing user base. - Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling to eliminate friction in the software delivery lifecycle. - Implement and maintain platform security safeguards and compliance standards to protect the integrity of the firm’s systems. - Contribute to the system observability roadmap by implementing monitoring, tracing, and alerting to ensure high operational reliability. - Partner with product and engineering teams to translate technical requirements into scalable platform solutions. - Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, lead incident response for team-owned services, and advocate for modern engineering best practices. Experience and Skills - 5 plus years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, or backend engineering, with a track record of building scalable, cloud-native environments (AWS/Kubernetes). - Strong proficiency in using AI collaborators (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) to ship production code and an ability to optimize personal development workflows. - Ability to evaluate AI-generated code for security gaps or architectural "hallucinations" and implement rigorous testing strategies. - Strong hands-on experience with IaC frameworks such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation. - High proficiency in Java and Python (Golang is a plus). You should be comfortable bridging the gap between infrastructure and application logic. - Experience building mature CI/CD pipelines and working with observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog). - Proven ability to take ownership of complex projects in a fast-paced environment, balancing speed with architectural health. - Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with distributed engineering and product teams. Preferred Qualifications - Experience in high-growth startup environments. - Experience with financial systems, real-money transactions, or regulatory compliance. - Background in building internal developer tools or CLI applications. - Experience leading small project groups or "squads" within a larger team. We are serious about AI-augmented development. During our technical interviews, be prepared to: - Demo your current AI-assisted workflow (e.g., how you use Cursor or Copilot). - Discuss specific examples of how you’ve used AI to solve complex technical hurdles. - Share your strategies for ensuring AI-generated code meets production-grade security and maintainability standards. Depending on the role, your interview and onboarding experience may include in-person components, such as onsite interviews or Launching into Better: LIVE—a multi-day cultural immersion in New York City for full-time, non-seasonal hires. These sessions are designed to build connection and bring our culture to life, though specific travel and participation requirements will be confirmed based on your role and location.
