Own and set technical direction for the Everand backend, building scalable, reliable systems for discoverability, personalization, and core consumption journeys. Drive architecture, platform health (CI/CD, staging, DBs, queues, cost, observability), mentor engineers, lead cross-team planning, modernize legacy systems, and partner with product, design, analytics, web/mobile, and ML to support experimentation and telemetry-driven decisions.

Lead technical projects for product scaling. Design and maintain APIs and services, ensuring reliability and user experience while collaborating with product teams.

Build and scale the internal developer platform: create tools, services and automation (CI/CD, canaries, feature flags, access workflows) using IaC (Pulumi/Python) and Kubernetes to enable safe, fast shipping. Drive platform initiatives, mentor teams, lead AI tool adoption for engineering, participate in on-call and design/code reviews, and ship major improvements across the organization.

Own and architect Linux kernel-space enforcement for an identity security platform using eBPF and BPF LSM hooks. Build kernel and userspace enforcement boundary, optimize syscall hot paths, extend enforcement to containers and Kubernetes, ensure portability across kernel versions, collaborate on shared policy/backend, mentor engineers, and drive production-grade, low-latency security enforcement.

Own design, implementation, and production support of Windows kernel-mode enforcement drivers (filesystem, process/thread, handles, registry) and the kernel/user-mode enforcement boundary. Reduce enforcement latency at scale, extend enforcement to containers and isolation, ensure compatibility across Windows builds, handle driver signing and deployment, collaborate cross-platform on policy and the Rust userspace agent, and mentor engineers while driving technical direction and operational stability.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll lead software infrastructure development, drive AI innovation, mentor engineers, and collaborate across teams to build advanced applications.

Design, scale, and performance-tune GraphQL APIs, gRPC services, and SQL queries for iCasino features. Own complex technical problems, build end-to-end integrations with game providers, improve production scalability, set up DataDog monitoring, participate in on-call rotations, and mentor other engineers.

Lead design and implementation of scalable APIs and agent communication layers for an AI-agent driven advertising marketplace. Build high-throughput backend systems, integrate agent frameworks and adtech partners, drive architecture for authentication and protocols, mentor engineers, and prototype agent communication patterns while collaborating with product and design.

Design, implement, and optimize Elasticsearch core storage and query engine components for logs/metrics workloads. Lead architecture, resolve performance bottlenecks, improve storage efficiency and query execution, mentor engineers, collaborate across distributed teams, triage community issues, and write idiomatic modern Java.

Drive architecture and design of Elasticsearch core storage and query engine for logs and metrics. Improve storage efficiency, indexing layouts, serialization, and performance; lead cross-team initiatives; mentor engineers; triage community issues; and write idiomatic modern Java.

Lead design and implementation of scalable, secure Forma Data cloud services. Act as technical lead across full software lifecycle, write and operate cloud services, mentor engineers, solve complex distributed-system problems, and collaborate globally to integrate SaaS products with Autodesk tools.

Lead design and delivery of the Structured Record Storage platform: CDC/Kafka integration, schema automation, access APIs, and fleet management. Set architecture standards, improve fleet-wide operations (capacity, monitoring, tuning, replication), drive migrations and schema lifecycle, enforce observability and IaC, mentor engineers, coordinate cross-team tradeoffs, and own reliability and incident response.

Lead end-to-end design and delivery of backend, API, and authentication systems for a high-scale real-time calling platform. Architect APIs and auth models, write design docs, improve observability and DevEx, mentor engineers, collaborate with Product and Design, participate in on-call, and ensure reliability and performance.

Design and build distributed backend systems, microservices, and near-real-time data ingestion and processing. Scale an incrementality experimentation platform, add AI-powered workflows, extend data integrations and partner exports, and contribute frontend components as needed to deliver end-to-end product features.

Lead architecture and long-term technical direction for Docker Hardened Images (DHI). Define platform standards for image and Helm chart hardening, supply-chain posture (SBOM, SLSA, signing), and distribution. Drive cross-functional roadmaps, resolve ambiguous packaging/security problems, influence upstream OSS, mentor senior engineers, shape test and tooling strategy, and participate in on-call incident response.
