Job Description:

This isn't just another development role – it's a chance to be the architectural cornerstone of a growing SaaS platform enabling the next generation of transformative technologies.

This role is perfect for the builder, the architect, the problem solver who gets excited about creating robust, scalable systems that make a real impact. We're particularly drawn to candidates who:

  • Have battle-tested experience scaling applications through orders of magnitude growth, and love sharing war stories about the challenges conquered along the way
  • Actively contribute to the tech community through open-source projects, blog posts, or speaking engagements
  • Have navigated the complexities of multi-cloud architectures and can articulate the strategic advantages and tradeoffs

  • Drive technical decision-making around architecture, tooling, and infrastructure
  • Establish and maintain development standards, best practices, and documentation
  • Own the full software lifecycle from development through deployment and production support
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to understand business requirements and translate them into technical solutions

Required Skills/Abilities

  • Proven track record as the primary technical owner of a production SaaS application
  • Strong expertise in Python and related frameworks (Django, FastAPI, Flask)
  • Experience building and maintaining applications on AWS, with multi-cloud exposure being a plus
  • Deep understanding of cloud architecture patterns, microservices, and distributed systems
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and production support processes
  • Strong knowledge of database design, optimization, and scaling strategies
  • Familiarity with modern frontend technologies (Angular experience is beneficial but not required)
  • Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Deep understanding of messaging-based architectures and asynchronous communication patterns (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS)
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability for product quality and reliability
  • Proven ability to make sound architectural decisions and defend technical choices
  • Excellence in debugging and problem-solving complex production issues
  • High degree of intellectual curiosity and passion for software development

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
