Job Description

• Design and own critical services: hands-on development of systems that are robust, scalable, and simple to operate in production. • Lead high-impact architectural decisions, balancing speed with sound engineering for 3–4 9s availability. • Work across the stack, from distributed cloud infrastructure to AI-driven features like retrieval, memory, and agent orchestration. • Collaborate with leadership and product teams to translate ambitious ideas into reality, fast. • Act as a technical leader: mentor engineers, drive engineering culture, and shape the way we build as we scale. • Contribute to Readyset’s engineering strategy and vision, not just individual projects

Expert backend development experience in Python, Golang, Java, Rust etc.; familiarity with modern frontend frameworks a plus.
Deep familiarity with AWS (experience with GCP/Azure a plus).
Demonstrated technical leadership: shaping architecture, influencing design, and guiding teams through complexity.
A mindset for velocity with rigor: moving fast without compromising sound engineering
