About the Role

Own critical systems for enterprise lifecycle (multi-tenancy, auth, auditability) and developer ecosystem (public APIs, SDKs, MCPs, integrations) that enable customers and developers to build on Lila. This is a high-autonomy role where you will own outcomes, ship regularly, and make technical tradeoff decisions.

Responsibilities

• Build secure tenant isolation, authentication, authorization, and audit across customer organizations.
• Implement access boundaries and isolation guarantees for enterprise and regulated deployments.
• Build resilient backend services in Python/FastAPI.
• Own schema design for multi-tenant data, tenant-aware query patterns, and operational correctness in regulated environments.
• Build services for tenant provisioning, self-serve administration, and customer onboarding.
• Support billing, pricing, and metering surfaces for enterprise customers.
• Own and evolve Lila's public APIs (REST, streaming, async) for human developers and autonomous agents.
• Ship SDKs and define tool/function interfaces for agents.
• Build integration paths for MCPs, agents, and data into the platform.
• Manage how customers bring their own MCPs, agents, and data, and ensure their isolation and trust within a tenant.

Requirements

• 7+ years of backend software engineering experience.
• Meaningful experience in APIs, backend services, or platform infrastructure.
• Strong expertise in API design and versioning, multi-tenancy, authentication/authorization, or backend services at scale.
• Proficiency in Python (FastAPI), Kubernetes, AWS, and databases (SQL or document).
• Care about developer experience, writing clear errors, and considering backward compatibility.
• Ability to ship working code regularly, debug production issues, and own systems end-to-end.
• Ability to work well across teams (infra, data, apps, science).
• Communicate tradeoffs clearly and make decisions under ambiguity.
