The Role
Design, build, and operate a secure, multi-tenant event-driven backend platform: event store, cryptographic signatures, authorization/workflow enforcement, PII vaulting, integrations, and Postgres performance and replication.
Summary Generated by Built In

You'll own the platform our agents run on — event-driven architecture, data pipelines, integrations with customer accounting systems, and the infrastructure that makes everything reliable, auditable, and fast.

What you'll do

  • Event store — Append-only PostgreSQL with tamper-evident hash chaining, real-time event distribution, agent replay and recovery, schema versioning.

  • Cryptographic signature infrastructure — Key management, signature verification on all agent events, approval chains for external actions.

  • Workflow Constraint Engine — The gateway that verifies authorization before any external action (email, payment, API call) proceeds.

  • PII Vault & GDPR compliance — Isolated, encrypted storage for personal data. Right to erasure. Data residency per region.

  • Multi-tenancy — Row-level security, tenant isolation across all data stores, tenant-scoped LLM API keys.

  • Authorization (Cerbos) — Attribute-based access control for agents and humans. Deterministic policy evaluation — LLMs never make auth decisions.

  • MCP security layer — Authentication, capability-based scoping per partner, and rate limiting for the Model Context Protocol endpoint.

  • Database architecture — PostgreSQL schema design, indexing strategy, performance tuning, read replica topology.

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years experience with Python and/or TypeScript in production.

  • 5+ years designing backend platforms for production systems.

  • Strong systems design skills — this is the primary requirement. You think in boundaries, contracts, failure modes, and scaling characteristics.

  • Deep PostgreSQL knowledge — RLS, indexing tradeoffs, event sourcing patterns, schema evolution.

  • Strong application security architecture skills: encryption models, key management, auth patterns.

  • Experience with policy-as-code authorization (Cerbos, OPA, Cedar, or similar).

  • Strong code review skills for security-sensitive AI-generated code.

  • Nice to have:

    • Cryptographic primitives in production (digital signatures, hash chaining, application-layer encryption).

    • Event streaming platforms (Kurrent, Redpanda, Kafka).

    • SOC 2 or GDPR compliance engineering.

    • Fintech or regulated-environment background.
