This role blends systems engineering, developer experience, and product engineering. We tackle complex challenges across the full stack, from browser-based interfaces to high-performance backends to Linux systems engineering. We're looking for engineers who have a keen sense of the product experience and how to power it with performant systems.

On this team, you'll have the opportunity to grow your skills across our infrastructure and product, and to lead end-to-end efforts with meaningful impact. We value diverse perspectives and encourage candidates from all backgrounds and experiences to apply.

Responsibilities:

• Build high-throughput backend applications and services, like streaming chat between user and agent.
• Design a collaborative "Multiplayer Computer" that lets humans and AI agents work together on shared shells, filesystems, and state,conflict-free and in real time.
• Develop infrastructure (frontend & backend) that empowers product engineers to rapidly ship delightful user experiences.
• Design and build durable, well-crafted interfaces between the Agent and internal systems, as well as external agentic systems (MCP)

Requirements:

• 8+ years professional experience in building backend services, systems, and platforms
• Someone who values simplicity and pragmatism,you think radically but ship incrementally.
• Self-directed and comfortable working autonomously.
• Collaborative and team-oriented with a strong sense of shared ownership.

You'll own critical platform infrastructure supporting 70M+ users and scaling to hundreds of millions. This means architecting the core data model and storage systems powering Gamma's business, building real-time collaborative editing systems, high-volume event pipelines, and public APIs while driving technical strategy for databases, caching layers, distributed systems, and observability.

As a Staff Engineer on the Platform team, you'll define engineering standards and best practices across backend teams while mentoring engineers on system design, scalability patterns, and production excellence. You'll make critical build vs buy decisions, balance technical debt paydown with feature velocity, and collaborate with leadership to shape our multi-year platform roadmap.

What you'll do

• Architect and scale core platform systems including databases, caching layers, event pipelines, and public APIs for 70M+ users
• Lead major infrastructure initiatives: database migrations, architecture refactors, and performance optimization at scale
• Define engineering standards and best practices across backend teams
• Mentor engineers on system design, scalability patterns, and production excellence
• Make build-vs-buy decisions and balance technical debt paydown with feature velocity
• Collaborate with leadership to shape Gamma's multi-year platform roadmap

What you'll bring

• 7+ years of backend engineering experience with deep expertise in distributed systems and data infrastructure, and a proven track record of architecting systems that scaled through multiple orders of magnitude
• Expert-level proficiency in scalable APIs, databases (PostgreSQL, Redis), and event-driven architectures
• Experience with real-time systems such as collaborative editing, WebSockets, CRDTs, or similar conflict resolution approaches
• Strong operational chops: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and performance debugging at scale, with proficiency in backend technologies like Node.js, Python, or similar
• Product-minded technical judgment, with the ability to make decisions that unlock business value and user experience
• Experience building platform infrastructure at high-growth startups, or working with AI infrastructure or public API design (Nice to have)

Compensation range:

The base salary for this full-time position, which spans multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $230K - $310K plus benefits & equity.
