Were looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer II to lead multi‑quarter initiatives that shape how our Decision Engine is designed, developed and operated, with impact that clearly goes beyond a single team. Youll combine hands‑on backend work with technical leadership, simplifying complex systems, improving developer experience, and raising reliability at scale for multiple engine teams.
What you will be doing:
Lead multi‑quarter, team‑scoped projects that change how we build, validate and ship engine changes, from problem definition to rollout.
Remodel key parts of the Decision Engine and its tooling to reduce toil, simplify workflows, and make complex changes safer and faster to deploy.
Own critical engine platform components (validation, fault detection, developer tools) used by multiple engine teams.
Turn ambiguous engine‑level problems into clear plans, breaking them into milestones, aligning stakeholders, and driving execution.
Mentor engineers in and around the team, raising the bar via design reviews, pairing, and clear technical guidance.

Requirements:
Who are you?
7+ years of experience building backend systems in large‑scale, mission‑critical environments, acting as a technical lead for substantial projects.
Experience working on high-scale production systems, ideally in areas involving data-intensive flows or distributed data stores.
Deep familiarity with cloud‑native environments (AWS / GCP / Azure, Kubernetes, Docker) and production‑grade observability and deployment practices.
Proven track record of leading multi‑quarter, team‑scoped projects end‑to‑end, including collaboration with product/analytics/other engineering teams.
Strong skills in one or more of Python / Java / Kotlin / Rust / Go, and solid understanding of modern backend architectures.
Demonstrated subject‑matter expertise in at least one relevant domain (e.g., distributed backends, developer productivity tooling, CI/CD, runtime reliability, data/stream processing) and comfort working in high‑ambiguity areas.
Itd be really cool if you also:
Experience materially improving team productivity via CI/CD, build systems, or internal developer platforms.
Experience defining and driving engineering standards adopted beyond a single team.
