Job Description:

  • Own Postgres, including schema design, migrations, indexing, query performance, connection management, and operational health under load
  • Design data models that structurally enforce tenant isolation and data classification
  • Run live-system migrations without downtime or data loss
  • Implement and verify retention, deletion, and minimization across derived data, replicas, caches, and backups
  • Build access controls and audit logging for sensitive data
  • Produce compliance evidence directly from systems
  • Partner with security and GRC on technical controls
  • Design and extend multi-region routing, storage, replication, and failover
  • Enforce data residency in the platform
  • Design, version, deprecate, and maintain backwards-compatible public APIs
  • Build API authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and idempotency
  • Operate and debug services, data, and infrastructure
  • Build internal tooling, admin surfaces, and operational dashboards
  • Improve reliability, observability, testing, and deployment; review code and raise the technical bar

Requirements:

  • Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer without current or future need for visa sponsorship
  • 5+ years building and operating production backend systems
  • Deep PostgreSQL experience โ€” schema design, query optimization, and migrations on live systems with real data
  • Strong backend skills in Go, Node.js, Python, Java, or similar, plus enough frontend ability to build internal tooling in React or a comparable framework
  • Experience designing and maintaining APIs used by real customers, including versioning and compatibility discipline
  • Hands-on cloud experience, AWS preferred, including storage, IAM, and encryption primitives
  • Experience handling sensitive or regulated data where access control, retention, and deletion were hard requirements
  • Judgment about correctness: idempotency, safe retries, failure handling, and failure modes under load
  • Clear communication and good judgment in a remote, cross-functional team

Benefits:

  • Remote-first, US-based team
  • Quarterly team offsites
  • Flexible schedules
  • Meaningful equity ownership
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
