What you will do

Lead the architecture and delivery of industry solutions, from understanding the customer problem with product and domain experts, through early experiments and validation, to production launch at scale

Make pragmatic speed vs. scale trade-offs: ship lean versions to validate with customers, then harden what works into reusable platform capabilities

Design a reusable "industry layer": configurable objects, workflows, templates, and automations that can be packaged per vertical without forking the core product

Build integrations with industry platforms such as food delivery services (Uber Eats, DoorDash), payment providers (Stripe), and booking and ticketing systems

Define standards for how industry features are versioned, rolled out behind feature flags, and rolled back across thousands of accounts and sub-accounts

Build reliable event-driven systems for real-time industry workflows such as orders, reservations, check-ins, and payments

Collaborate with core platform teams to expose safe, well-documented extension points that industry solutions depend on

Lead and mentor a team of engineers, working day to day with product and design, through technical direction, code reviews, and a strong focus on quality and reliability

Drive observability, performance, and error handling across industry workflows and integrations

Work with product and go-to-market teams to identify the highest-impact opportunities in each vertical, and measure success by customer adoption and time-to-value

What you need

7+ years of backend or platform engineering experience, with 2+ years in a technical leadership role
Deep experience designing configurable, multi-tenant platforms: metadata-driven data models, workflow engines, or templating systems
A track record of taking products or major features from 0→1 into production, including knowing when to move fast and when to invest in scale
A track record of entering unfamiliar domains, learning them quickly from experts, and translating that into solid technical designs
Strong product and customer sense: you connect technical decisions to business outcomes, not just system design
Experience building third-party integrations, including OAuth flows, signed webhooks, data sync, and error recovery
Strong understanding of security, scalability, and data isolation in multi-tenant SaaS environments
Excellent communication skills with both engineers and non-technical domain stakeholders

Nice to have

Experience with vertical SaaS or industry clouds, such as Salesforce Industries, Toast, or Eventbrite
Hands-on work with food delivery, POS, reservation, or event ticketing integrations
Experience with payment flows such as Stripe Connect, deposits, and refunds
Familiarity with scoped permissions, event hooks, and audit trails
Experience packaging features as installable apps or templates for customers and partners
