• Design experimentation frameworks, feature-flag integrations, event tracking, attribution, and funnel telemetry.
• Develop robust GraphQL and REST API contracts and reusable components for independent host applications.
• Deliver foundational code, shared libraries, prototypes, and platform modernization initiatives while remaining 60–70% hands-on.
• Partner with product managers, designers, data scientists, and multiple engineering organizations to align on technical trade-offs.
• Maintain performance, reliability, observability, testing, monitoring, and alerting standards while reducing operational toil.
• Mentor senior and lead engineers, author RFCs and technical specifications, lead design reviews, and support hiring.

Requirements

• 8–12+ years of full stack software engineering experience with demonstrated Staff/Principal-level impact on large, ambiguous, multi-team initiatives.

• Proficiency developing backend services with Java, Kotlin, Go, or Python, along with GraphQL, RESTful APIs, microservices, and AWS.
• Experience designing extensible APIs and shared UI components that integrate across multiple independent host applications.
• Hands-on experience with telemetry pipelines, event-tracking schema design, SQL or analytics tools, and statistical experimentation.
• Proven ability to align engineers, product managers, designers, and data scientists around complex architectural decisions.
