Systems Engineering Lead

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Canada.

📋 Description

• Oversee the development of the MASV Agent, a high-speed file transfer service that operates across multiple platforms.

• Spearhead the design, execution, and ongoing enhancement of the service for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

• Direct system architecture and technical choices for scalable, fault-tolerant client-side applications.

• Create designs that allow for seamless recovery from crashes, restarts, and unreliable network conditions.

• Establish and develop well-documented SDKs for integrating MASV transfer infrastructure into developers' workflows.

• Strategize major initiatives, decompose tasks into deliverables, delegate work, and take ownership of outcomes.

• Diagnose system-level challenges related to network I/O, filesystem operations, cross-platform functionality, and concurrency.

• Ensure features are delivered through the CLI and local REST API with machine-readable outputs and clear error semantics.

• Define MCP-based interfaces for AI-agent discovery, orchestration, and appropriate tool usage.

• Uphold security standards for client-side tools in compliance with SOC2, ISO27001, and TPN standards.

• Mentor team members, offer technical guidance, and lead code review sessions.

• Organize and carry out deployments, coordinate release processes, and ensure dependable rollouts.

• Collaborate with the Support team to troubleshoot recurring and complex customer issues, identify root causes, and facilitate product enhancements.

⛳️ Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in a senior Systems or Software Engineer role.

• Strong emphasis on client-side applications, distributed systems, networked services, or developer tools.

• Proven experience in owning a significant system and defining its technical trajectory.

• Comprehensive understanding of OS internals, filesystems, concurrency, and protocols such as UDP, TCP, TLS, and HTTP.

• Experience in designing, versioning, and supporting APIs, CLI tools, or developer-facing SDKs.

• Demonstrated ability to set direction and lead others effectively.

• Exceptional analytical skills with the capability to independently troubleshoot cross-platform issues.

• Strong written communication skills suitable for a remote, asynchronous team environment.

• Proficient in Golang, including experience with goroutines, channels, memory management, and cross-compilation.

• Background in high-performance data transfer, concurrency, and reliability within networked or I/O-intensive systems.

• Familiarity with unattended/agent software that operates on customer infrastructure.

• Knowledge of filesystem event monitoring, resumable/chunked transfer protocols, or managing backpressure at scale.

• Experience with cross-platform build tools, packaging, and CI/CD processes for client binaries on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

• Proven track record of building and maintaining SDKs across multiple languages or integrating with cloud storage solutions.

• Experience in designing tools for AI agents, including MCP servers, structured tool schemas, deterministic machine-readable outputs, authentication, and automation.

• Adherence to SOC2, ISO27001, and TPN compliance standards.

• A degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field is considered a plus.

🏝️ Benefits

• Comprehensive health benefits.

• 6 weeks of flexible paid time off.

• Monthly work-from-home stipend.

• An annual professional development budget of $3,000.
