Responsibilities
- Own the evolution of the product runtime and application architecture, ensuring systems are resilient, scalable, and production-ready
- Drive structural improvements within the existing web application, improving system boundaries, performance, and long-term maintainability
- Lead initiatives that strengthen production stability, performance, and reliability across the application layer
- Define and evolve runtime architecture patterns for server-side behavior, request handling, and scaling
- Improve deployment safety, release confidence, and environment consistency across product engineering
- Establish strong observability practices across the application stack, including logging, metrics, tracing, and debuggability
- Identify and address structural bottlenecks that slow development or introduce operational risk
- Partner with the API Platform team to help extract and separate API responsibilities from the application layer
- Collaborate with the UI Platform team on runtime performance, framework behavior, and production characteristics of the web stack
- Drive performance optimization efforts across the application tier, including latency reduction, scaling behavior, and resource efficiency
- Improve CI/CD architecture and operational maturity to support fast, safe iteration
- Mentor engineers and influence architectural direction across teams
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience building and operating large-scale production systems
- Strong hands-on experience with Node.js in production environments
- Strong proficiency with TypeScript in large, complex codebases
- Proven experience evolving real-world systems into stable, scalable platforms
- Deep understanding of system design, performance, and reliability at production scale
- Experience improving runtime stability, performance, and operational maturity of server-side systems
- Experience working across application and infrastructure layers
- Demonstrated ability to drive architectural change across teams without formal authority
- Strong experience with CI/CD systems, deployment workflows, and production operations
- Experience establishing or improving observability (logging, metrics, tracing) in production environments
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
Nice to Have
- Experience with Next.js and/or React in large-scale production environments
- Experience evolving monolithic web applications into modular or service-oriented architectures
- Experience operating production workloads in Kubernetes-based environments
- Experience optimizing SSR performance and server-side runtime behavior
- Experience improving system performance under high request volume and growth
- Experience with Golang
