Staff Backend Engineer - Content Platform

This role leads technical direction for a shared policy enforcement platform used by multiple product teams. It involves architecting multi-signal orchestration systems for auditable, configurable enforcement across content types, designing durable data foundations, and making key API, schema, and versioning decisions. The person will set integration standards for teams onboarding to the platform, help with migrations, and mentor engineers on API and data modeling practices.

• Deep experience building large-scale distributed systems, APIs, event-driven pipelines, rule engines, and decision systems in production. Strong backend skills in Java, Kotlin, Go or similar, with ownership of data models and service contracts. Experience with stream processing (Kafka, Pub/Sub), workflow orchestration (Temporal, Airflow, or choreography-based systems), and relational/non-relational storage for auditable data. Familiarity with platform engineering patterns (multi-tenant APIs, rule engines), observability tooling, and regulated/compliance-adjacent environments.
