Technical Areas You'll Own

  • Design, build, and codify GCP infrastructure (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Firestore, Pub/Sub, Secret Manager, Terraform, CI/CD)
  • Authentication, authorization, and security design (Firebase Auth / Identity Platform, external IdP integration, roles and tenant isolation, audit logs, least privilege)
  • Data integration and migration with core systems, SaaS, and other clouds, plus analytics foundations on BigQuery
  • Backends for AI features (calling Vertex AI / Claude, prompt-injection defenses, execution logging and cost observability) and agent-driven development foundations such as CLAUDE.md, hooks, subagents, and ADRs

What We Expect

  • Able to design data models and safe schema changes and migrations in a relational database such as PostgreSQL
  • Able to design and implement OIDC / JWT and role-based authorization, and verify cross-tenant access control with tests
  • Able to build IaC with Terraform and automate tests and deployments with CI/CD
  • Uses coding agents such as Claude Code in daily development, runs verification and review of their output yourself, and records design decisions in writing to collaborate asynchronously

Nice to Have

  • Backend build and operations experience on AWS or Azure (GCP is our default, but other clouds are very welcome)
  • Cross-cloud authentication with Workload Identity Federation / OIDC
  • External IdP integration via SAML / OIDC, or identity consolidation and record matching
