SENIOR BACKEND ENGINEER - PLATFORM

We are a well-funded, early-stage technology company on a mission to fundamentally redefine the way the world searches, discovers,

and transacts, built on a philosophy that puts the user first at every step.

The user is not simply a means of transaction. They are a valued participant whose data works for them, not against them,

enriching their world and their own experience within it, with them retaining full control.

The internet was built to inform the many, not to serve the individual. Platforms optimize for engagement, extraction, and

consumption at global scale. AI has made this model even more efficient, with the user still largely remaining the input, not the

full beneficiary.

The problem is not information. The world has never had more. The problem is that people give away a lifetime of data without

receiving the personalized experience it should enable.

• Highly ambitious and action-driven; you thrive under pressure and find genuine energy in working at the edge of what is

considered possible

• Capable of designing and building production-grade systems in a fourth of the time most experienced and “sane” professionals

would consider possible

• Design and build the core API platform and integration framework with strong versioning, consistency, and deep awareness of

production consumer dependencies

• Build extensible third-party integration frameworks that connect external services across multiple domains through clean,

unified interfaces

• Build high-reliability event streaming infrastructure as the backbone for real-time data flows, with strong guarantees around

ordering, consumer management, and failure recovery

• Implement authentication and authorization infrastructure including OAuth 2.0, OIDC, fine-grained permissions, and secure

multi-tenant access control suitable for consumer platforms with enterprise customers

• Build enterprise integration layers with secure API surfaces and data exchange protocols that allow institutional customers to

reliably embed platform capabilities into their own systems

• Demonstrated experience originating distributed system architectures; you have designed systems, not implemented designs made

by others

• Production experience building APIs that multiple consumers depend on; with experience managing the operational consequences of

that dependency

• A track record of designing platform systems that other engineering teams depend on in production without requiring significant

architectural revision

Expect the most talented, rigorous, and driven colleagues you have worked with; people who lift each other up and hold each other

to the highest standard. This company is driven by ideas and innovation, regardless of age, position, or background. The best

ideas must win and the people behind them recognized and rewarded.

A home for exceptional people and geniuses within their domain; those who have always known what they are capable of and have been

waiting for the environment to prove it to the world, whilst first being seen and supported by their coworkers.

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to building an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best

work and reach their full potential. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color,

religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other characteristic
