• Build Core Services: Guide the development of new, scalable backend services using modern frameworks like Python and FastAPI, supplementing our monolith in a microservices architecture.
• Drive the Integration Roadmap: Lead the charge on building and maintaining our ecosystem of third-party integrations. Work with your team to connect our platform to key Accounting/ERP systems (e.g., QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics Business Central), leveraging modern iPaaS tools and frameworks (e.g., Workato, Merge, Codat) where appropriate.
• Enable Engineering Excellence: Act as a force multiplier for the entire engineering department. Partner with product engineering teams to understand their needs and provide the tools, services, and infrastructure required to improve their velocity and effectiveness.
• Forge Key Partnerships: Collaborate closely with Product Management, external partners, and internal engineering stakeholders to define clear roadmaps and deliver on complex, cross-functional initiatives.
• Develop Future Leaders: Mentor senior engineers and team leads, actively supporting the growth of the next generation of engineering leaders at the company.

• API & Services Expertise: Strong experience designing, building, and maintaining resilient, scalable APIs and backend services. Hands-on experience with modern Python frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Flask) is highly desirable.
• Deep Integration Experience: A proven track record of building and maintaining complex third-party integrations. Direct experience with Accounting/ERP systems (NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, etc.) is a major advantage.
• Platform Mindset: Familiarity with integration platforms or iPaaS tools (e.g., Workato, Merge, Codat) and a strong understanding of the challenges in building a developer platform.
• Architectural Acumen: A strong grasp of distributed systems, microservice architecture, and API-first design principles. You know how to make pragmatic architectural decisions that balance short-term needs with long-term scalability.
• Agile & DevOps Mindset: Strong knowledge of agile development practices, CI/CD, test automation, and building for observability and reliability.
• Empathetic & Accountable: A self-driven, accountable individual.
