Job Description
Role Description
This isn’t your typical distributed systems role. This is about fixing how engineering works. They’re looking for someone to take ownership of developer productivity across a large, fast-moving codebase, improving how 50+ engineers build, test, and ship software every day. You’ll sit across multiple teams, understand where things break down, and redesign the path to production so teams can move faster without stepping on each other. You’ll be the person who untangles the monorepo, reduces friction, and turns code into products.
Responsibilities
- Own the build, test, and deployment lifecycle across a monorepo used by 50+ engineers
- Lead the implementation and optimization of modern build tooling (e.g. TurboRepo)
- Redesign developer workflows to reduce friction, dependencies, and bottlenecks
- Improve local development experience—how engineers interact with the code day-to-day
- Identify gaps in testing and coverage, and drive improvements across teams
- Work across multiple engineering teams (core systems, event processing, identity) to align on standards
- Debug real production issues and improve system reliability before problems reach users
- Support multi-region and multi-cloud deployments, ensuring systems scale globally
- Act as the connective tissue between teams—driving consistency without slowing people down
Requirements
- 8–15 years as a backend or platform engineer, with a clear focus on developer productivity
- Experience working in high-growth engineering teams (40–100+ engineers)
- Strong expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript, with solid computer science fundamentals
- Proven experience improving build systems, deployment pipelines, or developer workflows
- Hands-on experience with monorepos and build tools (e.g. Bazel, Nx, TurboRepo)
- Deep understanding of distributed systems and how they behave at scale
- Ability to jump into complex backend systems and understand constraints quickly
- Strong leadership instincts—can influence, align teams, and drive initiatives end-to-end
- Background in product engineering environments (not purely DevOps/SRE/infrastructure)
Benefits
- $250,000 - $320,000 USD
- Equity in a high-growth, late-stage startup environment
- Fully remote working across the US and Canada
- Health, dental, and vision coverage
- Flexible working environment with high autonomy
- Opportunity to work on globally distributed systems at real scale
