About the role

We're looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to own the API platform and backend infrastructure that underpins Albert OS as it evolves toward a full PaaS offering.

• Design and maintain access control systems, authorization patterns, and ACL frameworks that work consistently across services
• Define and enforce service-to-service interaction patterns, including authentication, trust boundaries, and inter-service contracts
• Build and maintain shared backend libraries, frameworks, and abstractions that improve consistency and velocity across product engineering teams

• Terraform
• CI/CD
• AWS
• Node.js
• NestJS
• IAM
