Staff Engineer, Platform

Job Description

We're looking for a hands-on Staff Engineer to define and drive the technical architecture of our platform. This is a highly technical role, with approximately 90% of your time dedicated to designing, building, and implementing critical platform capabilities and architectural initiatives. You'll serve as a technical leader and expert problem solver, tackling complex distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and platform challenges while shaping the systems, integrations, and architecture that power Tamnoon's remediation engine. You'll partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Security teams to deliver scalable, reliable, and secure solutions that support the company's long-term growth and success.

We're an AI-forward engineering organization. AI isn't just part of our product—it's embedded in how we build. Our engineers leverage tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot to move faster, solve complex problems, and focus on high-impact work, all while maintaining a high bar for quality, security, and engineering excellence.

Requirements

What You'll Do:

• Define and drive the architectural vision for Tamnoon's platform.
• Design scalable, secure, and resilient distributed systems.
• Build and evolve cloud-native services using AWS, Kubernetes, serverless technologies, and event-driven architectures.
• Own identity and access architecture, including IAM, federation, and cross-account access patterns.
• Design secure integrations with cloud providers, security tools, ticketing systems, and external platforms.
• Lead technical design reviews and establish engineering best practices.
• Mentor engineers and influence technical direction across the organization.

What You'll Bring:

• 8+ years of experience designing, building, and operating large-scale backend and distributed systems in cloud-native environments.
• Strong expertise in Python and  Node (TypeScript), with a proven track record of delivering production-grade services and platforms.
• Deep experience with AWS, including services such as Lambda, IAM, Cognito, Secrets Manager, AWS Batch, Glue, Athena, EKS, and other cloud-native technologies, with a strong understanding of security, scalability, and operational best practices.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and implementing Infrastructure as Code using modern automation frameworks and tools.
• Experience designing and implementing authentication, authorization, identity management, and cloud security solutions, including AWS Cognito and IAM-based access controls.
• Proven ability to define technical architecture, evaluate trade-offs, and drive platform and infrastructure decisions that support long-term business and engineering goals.
• Fluency with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. You leverage AI to accelerate development and problem-solving while applying sound engineering judgment and maintaining high standards for quality, security, and correctness.
• A hands-on mindset with a passion for building. You are comfortable operating as both an architect and an individual contributor, leading through technical execution and example.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence technical direction and drive alignment across Engineering, Product, Security, and leadership teams.
