About the Role: As a key technical leader, you will own the architecture and delivery of high-availability, low-latency API services and user applications that power Brivo's core Access Control platform and services.

Our best engineers are adept at picking up new things, enjoy solving challenging problems, speak up, and thrive in this dynamic and fast-paced environment.

About the Team: You will join a high-impact Scale Team dedicated to accelerating the development of our platform's next generation. This team helps Brivo customers derive value from their access control systems and improve the way people interact with buildings, developing solutions ranging from 3rd party integrations to maintaining and expanding Brivo’s identity management services.

Drive technical design, document key decisions (e.g., Architecture Decision Records - ADRs), and participate rigorously in code reviews and design sessions to maintain the highest quality engineering standards.

Own the Cloud Infrastructure and deployment pipelines, utilizing AWS, Kubernetes, and CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins) to automate provisioning and ensure continuous integration and delivery.

Collaborate effectively with product managers, designers, and QA to design and deliver high-quality features. Work within an Agile team to complete sprint planning, backlog grooming, feature reviews, and closely support your Team Lead with project scoping.

Troubleshoot and resolve complex, high-impact production issues, taking full responsibility for application ownership. Proactively identify security vulnerabilities and optimize database performance and data models within PostgreSQL.

Set a high bar for engineering excellence and serve as a technical mentor to team members, driving process improvements and promoting best practices across the engineering department.

Partner with other teams across the organization to support the company's mission through architectural and technical improvements.
