Firefly is the Automated Cloud Resilience platform that helps enterprises instantly recover from outages and cyberattacks using Infrastructure-as-Code. Firefly scans your entire cloud estate, creates a unified System of Record across all resources and dependencies, and restores your complete environment into a clean region or account in minutes, so you can get back online fast after an incident. Through IaC-driven automation, Firefly ensures your infrastructure stays governed, compliant, and recovery-ready.
At Firefly, we are looking for a hands-on Tech Lead to join our R&D. Reporting directly to the Chief Architect, you will step into a rare opportunity with a fast-growing company to shape the technical future of our platform. You will serve as a technical anchor for the organization, driving the architectural evolution of our high-scale, cloud-native infrastructure built on AWS and Kubernetes, while pioneering the integration of AI across our product and engineering workflows.
עיקרי התפקיד
Drive the technical roadmap for Firefly's platform, working closely with the Chief Architect: architecting new systems and features and continuously improving existing ones.
Lead architectural decisions across the platform's core surfaces: services, data pipelines, workflow orchestration, and multi-tenant infrastructure.
Stay hands-on in the code: build critical components, prototype new capabilities, and lead by example inside the development teams.
Establish the platform foundations: shared services, libraries, and standards used across teams.
Architect AI-powered capabilities into Firefly's product and drive AI-assisted development workflows that amplify engineering productivity across the org.
Drive end-to-end technical solutions, from API design and service boundaries to data modeling and deployment.
Build proofs-of-concept for critical paths and high-risk decisions, and act as the technical anchor for projects from design through delivery.
Write design documents, RFCs, and architectural decision records that drive cross-team alignment and capture the reasoning behind technical decisions.
Mentor engineers across teams through design and code reviews, and act as a focal point for technical questions across R&D.
