Backed by top-tier investors and operating at scale, they’ve crossed 100 engineers globally and are now dealing with the kind of problems that only show up once things start moving fast. This is a team that values speed, ownership, and people who can cut through complexity without hiding behind process. They move quickly, expect high standards, and give you the room to make meaningful impact. The Role 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. The 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 The 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) The Remuneration $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 Why Apply If you enjoy clean, isolated problems, this role will frustrate you. This is about stepping into a system that’s grown fast, figuring out where it’s creaking, and fixing it without slowing everyone down. But if you’re the kind of engineer who sees a messy monorepo and thinks: that’s my world… this is your shot. You’ll have real ownership, real influence, and the chance to make an entire engineering team faster, better and stronger. If that sounds like your kind of fun, apply.
