Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Run the Application Platform pod of roughly 8 to 15 engineers and QA, with a Tech Lead reporting to you. You own the roadmap, the standards, and the on-call posture.
• Own the API gateway and edge: routing, plugins, rate limiting, mTLS and HMAC, and rollout strategy for changes sitting in front of production traffic with a rollback path that has actually been exercised.
• Own authentication and session security: strong customer authentication, re-authentication, new-device gating, session revocation, API key and credential management.
• Own API standards and governance: the standards document, the enforcement point, versioning conventions, identifier schemes, and a review process that stays real rather than aspirational.
• Make security review predictable: agree the interface with InfoSec so RFCs get scoped sign-off with named owners and dates, instead of open-ended review that stalls rollouts.
• Stay hands-on. You review designs, and you still write and ship code, debug production, and set the implementation bar by example, including the standard for AI-assisted development.
• Raise operational maturity: incident command and reporting, deployment and branch hygiene, delivery metrics that measure production reality, audit logging, and alerting that catches problems before customers do.
• Hire and grow the team: close open roles, grow your Tech Lead, run 30-60-90 ramps, keep on-call sustainable, and act on performance early.
• What We Are Looking For
• EM-level scope: 2 or more years managing a full team of 5 or more, with a Tech Lead or senior IC reporting in, on top of a strong backend or infrastructure IC track record.

Who can apply

• EM-level scope: 2 or more years managing a full team of 5 or more, with a Tech Lead or senior IC reporting in, on top of a strong backend or infrastructure IC track record.
• Still writes code. You can design an API, model a schema, and produce idiomatic, runnable, tested code. Design fluency without hands-on ability is not enough at this level.
• Has owned a shared platform, gateway, or authentication system with internal teams as customers.
• Deep on API design, authentication, and distributed systems failure modes: blast radius, concurrency, idempotency.
• Has run a high-risk production migration or cutover with a rollback plan that was genuinely exercised.
• Owns on-call and incident command personally, not by delegation.
• Has worked directly with security or compliance and can negotiate scope rather than simply absorb requirements.
• Demonstrated hiring and performance management, including at least one underperformance case you saw through.
