AI generated summary

  • You need systems design experience, strong data modeling skills, ownership in fast-paced environments, pragmatic problem-solving, and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
  • You will manage AI-driven email systems, design data flows, create asynchronous processing solutions, collaborate cross-functionally, and enhance the reliability and performance of production systems.

Requirements

  • Systems design & production infrastructure experience: You’ve designed systems with clear tradeoffs, and you have hands on experience with infrastructure topics like Kubernetes, observability/telemetry (e.g., Honeycomb), and operating reliable production systems.
  • Strong data modeling skills: You can design durable data models and APIs that are correct, evolvable, and performant as product requirements grow.
  • Ownership and initiative: You thrive in a fast-moving, unstructured environment and are comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous problems. You act with a bias toward action and focus on results.
  • Pragmatic problem-solver: You prioritize business impact and understand the balance between craft, speed, and long-term maintainability. You’re opinionated but not ideological, and you learn new technologies as you go.
  • Collaborative and empathetic: You work well across teams, offer guidance to unblock others, and communicate clearly when aligning on technical direction.

Responsibilities

  • Own systems and infrastructure that power AI-assisted email communication workflows at scale.
  • Build and evolve reliable data flows and models that keep email state accurate and up to date.
  • Design asynchronous processing systems that support high-volume, low-latency product experiences.
  • Partner cross-functionally with engineering, product, and design to deliver end-to-end features from backend foundations to customer facing experiences.
  • Help keep production systems healthy by strengthening observability, improving performance, and increasing operational reliability over time.
