About the role
Role Overview
You will lead the team that builds Moon's core platform: auth and identity, multi-entity tenancy, entitlements, payments and financing APIs, cross-platform communication services, and the common shared services every module team consumes. Core Platform also owns engineering standards across the application: your team enforces them through code review and ensures proper use of the design system via Storybook.
About the role
• You will join leading a small, senior team, reporting to the VP of Engineering and partnering daily with the Principal Engineer on the contracts, reliability, and data architecture that let small teams ship continuously without colliding.
What you'll do
• Lead delivery of core services: identity, tenancy, entitlements, payments and financing APIs, and messaging buses.
• Implement and operate the common shared services all modules build on: payments, email, SMS, voice and communication services, client database - built once, consumed everywhere.
• Enforce engineering standards via code reviews across the application, including proper use of the design system via Storybook.
• Own reliability on the critical path: availability, recovery, and database architecture and performance.
• Run contract-first discipline with consuming teams: versioned APIs, clean deprecation, fast and rigorous contract reviews.
• Hire and develop a senior team; player-coach - you still read code.
Qualifications
• 10+ years of engineering including managing platform or infrastructure teams.
• Deep distributed systems, API design, and database experience; payments or fintech experience a strong plus.
• Has run platform-as-product: internal customers, SLAs, versioned contracts.
• Sets a high bar for talent and for standards; fast pace with discipline.
