What You’ll Do
Platform Integration (Primary Focus)
- Build and maintain integration layers that connect application software to our distributed platform
- Develop API interfaces (gRPC and/or REST) that allow existing systems to leverage platform capabilities
- Enable legacy and modern systems to communicate effectively without requiring full rewrites
API & System Design
- Define and implement clear, scalable API contracts
- Partner with application teams to understand integration needs and ensure practical, usable solutions
- Design systems with a focus on performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability
Platform Contribution
- Contribute to the underlying platform (Rust-based), including messaging, coordination, and system components
- Help evolve the platform toward more advanced, AI-enabled workflows and capabilities
Collaboration & Problem Solving
- Participate in architecture discussions, design reviews, and code reviews
- Troubleshoot integration issues, system behavior, and performance challenges across environments
- Contribute to documentation, best practices, and integration guidance
What You Bring
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- Strong experience with C++ in production environments
- Experience designing and building APIs (gRPC and/or REST)
- Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts (event-driven systems, messaging, concurrency)
- Ability to design across system boundaries and work with multiple technologies
- Experience working in Linux-based development environments
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Rust or willingness to learn
- Familiarity with distributed or decentralized systems (e.g., P2P, consensus models)
- Experience with tools like Protocol Buffers, async frameworks, or modern backend systems
- Exposure to AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot)
- Experience with Python, frontend frameworks, or C++ UI frameworks (e.g., Qt)
Why This Role
- Work on complex, high-impact systems that connect next-generation technology with real-world applications
- Influence how a distributed platform is adopted across an entire product ecosystem
- Collaborate across engineering teams and contribute to long-term platform strategy
- Be part of a team exploring the intersection of distributed systems and emerging AI capabilities
Bottom Line
This role is ideal for a senior engineer who enjoys:
- Solving complex integration challenges
- Bridging modern and legacy systems
- Working across architecture, APIs, and platform development
