Staff Backend Engineer — Platform Core

Required:

6+ years in backend engineering:

Experience building and operating distributed systems in production.

Go (or similar):

Proficiency with strong typing and concurrency.

PostgreSQL Expertise:

This role is responsible for building the connector framework and ingestion services that power a foundational data and services platform that unifies enterprise systems into a canonical model. This is not a low-code integration role. You will write production Go services that handle data reconciliation at scale. Our architecture follows a specific pattern: we fetch and store raw API responses for debugging and replay, then transform them into canonical entities. You are responsible for the "system of record" for how our platform interacts with external source systems.

Framework Engineering:

Build the reusable plumbing for connectors—including authentication, circuit breaking, retries, and idempotency—so that adding a new data source focuses exclusively on data logic.

Canonical Mapping:

Design the logic to map inconsistent enterprise data (Finance, HR, etc.) into strongly-typed entities. This includes handling multi-source enrichment, unit normalization, and field-level provenance.
