Senior Software Engineer - Platform Team

Role 💫

What you will be doing? 🔧

• Scale Prismic’s public Content API, which already serves millions of requests daily, with an eye on latency, availability, and cost.
• Build customer-facing visibility into usage metrics (API calls, users, bandwidth), empowering teams to understand and optimise their plans.
• Implement API governance by introducing robust rate-limiting and clear separation of public and private APIs, ensuring fairness, stability, and security.
• Empower product teams with AI infrastructure by providing MCP-based creation workflow and seamless tooling communication, accelerating innovation and delivery.

Are you the one? 🧠

Ideally, you:

• Excel at architecting large-scale distributed systems and APIs that serve millions of requests daily with low latency and high reliability.
• Have deep experience with API gateways, rate limiting, quota enforcement, and fair usage controls.
• Think ahead about scaling challenges: multitenancy, regionalisation, data boundaries, compliance, and graceful degradation.
• Care about observability: you design systems with clear metrics, traces, and logs from day one.
• Balance innovation with stability: you can introduce new abstractions or architectures without compromising uptime.
• Influence across squads, aligning product, infra, and teams around clear trade-offs and durable standards.
• Multiply the impact of senior engineers by mentoring, reviewing, and building a culture of strong technical judgment.
• Stay hands-on when needed: whether debugging a complex distributed system, tuning queries, or landing the critical change that unblocks a team.
• Are curious about how AI can augment engineering, from anomaly detection to adaptive scaling, and think critically about its value.

Bonus points:

• Proven track record of leading infrastructure or platform-wide initiatives with measurable improvements in reliability, cost, or performance.
• Experience scaling multi-region, multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
