Full Stack Engineer, Product Platform

Accountabilities:

• Own the PostgreSQL data layer, including schema design, migrations, indexing, query performance, connection management, and operational health under production load.
• Design data models that make tenant isolation and data classification structural properties of the platform rather than conventions developers must remember to enforce.
• Execute complex live-system migrations safely, including large-scale changes where downtime or data loss is unacceptable.
• Implement retention, deletion, and data minimization mechanisms that reliably propagate across derived data, replicas, caches, and backups.
• Build access controls and audit logging that appropriately scope and record access to sensitive information as part of normal platform operation.
• Generate compliance evidence directly from platform systems and partner with security and governance teams to translate contractual and regulatory commitments into enforceable technical controls.
• Design and extend multi-region architecture covering routing, storage, replication, and failover.
• Enforce data residency requirements at the platform level so restricted data cannot leave its designated region through standard application paths.
• Address the operational challenges of multi-region systems, including consistency, latency, deployments, and region-specific debugging.
• Design and maintain public APIs that are consistent, predictable, and reliable for external customers and integrations.
• Own API versioning, deprecation, and backward compatibility while ensuring existing customers can continue using established integrations.
• Build and maintain authentication, authorization, rate limiting, idempotency, and other capabilities required for production-grade APIs.
• Operate and troubleshoot the systems you build, investigating complex issues across services, data, and infrastructure.
• Develop internal tools, administrative interfaces, and operational dashboards that provide teams with greater visibility into the platform.
• Improve reliability, observability, testing, and deployment practices while reviewing code and contributing to a high technical standard across the engineering organization.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience building and operating production backend systems.
• Deep PostgreSQL expertise, including schema design, query optimization, indexing, and performing migrations against live production data.
• Strong backend development skills in Go, Node.js, Python, Java, or a comparable language, combined with enough frontend expertise to build internal tools using React or a similar framework.
• Experience designing and maintaining APIs used by real customers, including API versioning, backward compatibility, and long-term integration support.
• Hands-on cloud infrastructure experience, preferably with AWS, including storage, IAM, encryption, and related cloud security primitives.
• Experience working with sensitive or regulated data where access control, retention, deletion, and data governance are mandatory technical requirements.
• Strong engineering judgment around correctness, idempotency, safe retries, failure handling, and production failure modes that emerge under scale and load.
• Clear communication skills and strong judgment when working independently within a remote, cross-functional environment.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States for any employer without current or future visa sponsorship.
• Experience with multi-region or data-residency-constrained systems is a strong plus.
• Experience implementing multi-tenant isolation at the data layer is preferred.
• Familiarity with biometric privacy requirements such as BIPA or GDPR from an implementation perspective is beneficial.
• Experience working in SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similarly audited environments is advantageous.
• Background in identity, authentication, account recovery, fraud prevention, fintech, or security products is a plus.
• Strong experience with production incidents, observability, reliability engineering, or operational troubleshooting is beneficial.
• Demonstrated ownership, technical judgment, pragmatism, speed with care, kindness, and integrity.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation based on role, level, skills, experience, and education.
• Meaningful equity ownership.
• Remote-first, U.S.-based team.
• Regular quarterly team offsites.
• Flexible work schedules.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• Flexible paid time off.
• New computer hardware and equipment.
• Opportunity to work on foundational systems where security, privacy, and reliability are central to customer trust.
