Job Description

You will work on core enterprise platform systems, focusing on backend services that ensure Synthesia is secure, reliable, and scalable for our largest customers.

You will contribute to distributed backend systems and shared platform services, and be responsible for the safe and reliable operation of these systems in production.

You will have ownership of projects that span months and multiple teams, requiring you to break down complex, ambiguous problems into clear steps that can be delivered and validated iteratively.

You will work closely with product, security, legal, and infrastructure partners, and will be expected to translate business and regulatory requirements into scalable technical solutions.

You will evaluate your work through system health and reliability metrics, leveraging observability and monitoring to ensure systems meet performance, reliability, and compliance expectations.

You will consider the long-term direction of the platform, ensuring that the systems we build today can support future scale, enterprise requirements, and evolving regulatory needs.

We're looking for someone with at least seven years of experience as a software engineer, with experience operating at a senior or staff level.

You should have experience building and operating backend systems at scale, ideally within platform or enterprise-focused teams.

Strong expertise in backend development and system design is required, with experience across the stack being a plus.

Relevant engineering experience for teams building enterprise-grade systems is also necessary, including areas such as security, compliance, data handling, access control, multi-tenant systems, or platform services.

Experience owning systems in production, including observability, incident response, and reliability improvements, is essential.

Ability to work across teams and functions, aligning with stakeholders and driving technical initiatives end-to-end, is also required.

Strong alignment with building reliable, scalable systems that support long-term product and business goals is necessary.

Previous experience leading projects or mentoring other engineers is a plus.
