Time to go deep
Distributed systems, stream processing, database internals. Depth is scheduled into the engagement rather than taken out of your evenings.
6 open roles / all US remote
You rebuild systems while they stay in production
We are a small team. The work is other people's data platforms, mid-flight, with their traffic still on them. If that reads as the interesting part rather than the frightening part, the roles are below.

How the work actually runs
Small teams, long engagements, production access early. The same engineer takes a system through design, build and handover, because splitting those three is how platforms end up undocumented.

WE SAY NO
When we are not the right team for a piece of work we say so and point elsewhere. That holds in your first week the same as it does on a sales call.

YOU OWN IT TO HANDOVER
Whoever designs a system runs it through cutover, pager included. We do not hand a design to someone else to be wrong about.

THE ARGUMENT BEATS THE TITLE
Architecture decisions are made in writing, in the open, and are overturned by better reasoning. Not by seniority, and not by volume.
Decisions in writing
Architecture calls are argued in documents anyone can reply to, so the reasoning survives the person who made it.
Month one
Production access
You get the real system, with its real traffic and its real failure modes, not a sandbox copy of it.
What you get
The tools, the autonomy, and the time to do the work properly.
[ ENV_VAR: REMOTE_FIRST ]
