Summary and responsibilities
Role overview
Summary
This role involves scaling a multi-tenant Postgres database, managing agent-driven workloads, and overseeing the Docker sandbox layer. The Staff Backend Engineer will also own connectivity into customer networks and scope the architecture for rapid growth.
What you'll do
scale a multi-tenant Postgres under unpredictable load: query and I/O optimisation, read/write separation, horizontal scaling
make agent-driven workloads survivable: one user can spin up 30 table syncs, some running hours, while others query large sources
manage the sandbox layer: Docker containers where agents run queries and reverse-engineer files, with compute and memory budgets
own connectivity into customer networks: SOCKS5 over WebSockets, authentication, routing
scope the architecture and build it
What we're looking for
staff or principal level, still hands-on, writing production code
built and scaled multi-tenant data platforms in a B2B startup or platform company before
deep Postgres or database knowledge: query plans, locking, I/O, caching, replication, sharding
understands startup pace and ownership without specs
pragmatic over ideal, wants to build foundations right without overengineering
strong TypeScript
Nice to have
experience at a data platform or warehouse company (Snowflake, Databricks, Cloudflare or similar)
networking depth: proxies, VPN, routing
