bandwidth), empowering teams to understand and optimise their plans.
-Implement API governance by introducing robust rate-limiting and clear
separation of public and private APIs, ensuring fairness, stability, and
security.

Are you the one? đź§
Ideally, you:
-Excel at architecting large-scale distributed systems and APIs that serve
millions of requests daily with low latency and high reliability.
-Have deep experience with API gateways, rate limiting, quota enforcement, and
fair usage controls.
-Think ahead about scaling challenges: multitenancy, regionalisation, data
boundaries, compliance, and graceful degradation.
-Care about observability: you design systems with clear metrics, traces, and
logs from day one.
-Balance innovation with stability: you can introduce new abstractions or
architectures without compromising uptime.
-Influence across squads, aligning product, infra, and teams around clear
trade-offs and durable standards.
-Multiply the impact of senior engineers by mentoring, reviewing, and building a
culture of strong technical judgment.
-Stay hands-on when needed: whether debugging a complex distributed system,
tuning queries, or landing the critical change that unblocks a team.
-Are curious about how AI can augment engineering, from anomaly detection to
adaptive scaling, and think critically about its value.
Bonus points:
-Proven track record of leading infrastructure or platform-wide initiatives with
measurable improvements in reliability, cost, or performance.
-Experience scaling multi-region, multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
