Software Engineer (Connectors & Microsoft Certified Professional)

Join WRITER, a rapidly evolving AI-powered solutions company. As a Software Engineer, you'll design and deliver secure, scalable AI integration platforms, contribute to the evolution of our AI integration client ecosystem, and lead production excellence. Enjoy benefits like employer-covered medical plans, competitive parental leave, hybrid work culture, company stock options, and generous PTO.

• Design and deliver secure, scalable AI integration platforms that connect enterprise systems and power mission-critical automation.
• Contribute to the design and evolution of the AI integration client ecosystem, defining how AI applications securely connect to external tools, data sources, and enterprise systems.
• Lead production excellence through a metrics-first reliability strategy, defining and enforcing SLOs/SLAs, maturing observability, and driving resilience, incident readiness, and performance optimization at scale.

• Solid backend fundamentals in modern server frameworks and data systems (e.g., TypeScript/Node or Python ecosystems, PostgreSQL), with ability to choose the right tool for the system; experience with Python is a plus but not required
• Strong experience with observability and reliability engineering, including defining/operating service metrics, SLOs/SLAs, alerting, incident response, and performance tuning
• Strong experience designing and shipping API-driven platform services and distributed systems, including microservices, event-driven patterns, and secure service-to-service communication
• Proven cloud-native experience on AWS, GCP, or Azure, including containerized workloads (Docker/Kubernetes), CI/CD, and production operations
• Deep hands-on knowledge of authentication and security patterns for third-party integrations (OAuth2/OIDC, API keys, token lifecycle, secret management, least-privilege access)
• Demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity: partner cross-functionally, mentor engineers, drive technical decisions, and own delivery from design through production
• You embody our core values of Connect, Challenge, and Own. You build strong partnerships across teams, challenge conventional thinking to drive innovation, and take ownership of your work with a focus on delivering meaningful impact and excellence
• 5+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production backend systems using Typescript, Deno, Node.js, or Bun; scope and leveling can flex across Senior to Staff based on architectural impact and leadership
• Practical expertise building AI integration layers (e.g., MCP clients/servers, tool orchestration, external API connectors, auth mediation), not just prompt or model experimentation
