About the company

Our client is an enterprise software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

- Plan platform designs that hold up under heavy load, with dependable operation and fast response times.

- Shape architecture and engineering decisions that span several teams.

- Explain technical tradeoffs clearly to colleagues outside engineering.

- Build backend components that support AI-driven automation features.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- Strong grounding in designing networked, multi-service platforms and planning their structure.

- Senior or staff-level backend engineering experience.

- A track record of personally building and shipping backend systems in production, not only leading others who did.

- Experience working with LLMs, AI or machine learning systems, or agentic workflows.

- A history of influencing engineering decisions across teams.

Bonus points

- A significant role at a larger technology company followed by startup experience, or early engineering work at a high-growth startup.

- Strong academic background, including a top school in a non-computer-science discipline before moving into engineering.
