Lead the design and implementation of a sophisticated orchestration layer that manages authentication, telemetry, and the lifecycle of modernization tools
Architect a client-side application that manages developer workflows and communicates securely with hosted services
Solve complex \"Day 2\" operations challenges, such as designing interfaces to solve DevOps challenges to manage users, secrets, and updates
Collaborate with security and product teams to ensure the platform can execute code generation and LLM-based tasks securely, protecting both client data and MongoDB IP
Act as a hands-on leader, guiding the team through technical challenges related to container security, local vs. hosted logic distribution, and cross-service data sharing

Experience building Service Host architectures that provide shared routing, proxy layers, and API gateways for multiple underlying services
Experience managing persistent storage solutions (blob/file storage) within distributed systems
Understanding of security-first design, specifically regarding the execution of untrusted code, fine-grain access control, and rigorous input validation
Experience designing auto-update mechanisms for software that cannot directly access the public internet
Curiosity, a positive attitude, and a drive to continue learning

Success MeasuresWithin the first three months, you will have

Fully ramped up on our architecture, business domain, and the specific constraints of deploying software to large enterprise client environments
Established yourself as the technical leader within the team, actively driving technical discussions on the Service Host and Local Orchestrator architecture
