Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the architecture and technical direction of AI-powered systems, from early exploration to production and beyond.

• Design scalable, maintainable systems, making sound decisions about APIs, service boundaries, reliability, performance, security, and cost.

• Turn complex product ideas into experiments, prototypes, and production-ready solutions.

• Build reliable LLM integrations and establish practices for testing, evaluation, monitoring, and improving AI features.

• Stay hands-on by writing and reviewing code, solving complex technical challenges, and mentoring engineers.

• Influence engineering practices and help teams adopt AI development tools without compromising code quality or maintainability.

Requirements

To be successful in this role you need the following:

• Proven experience designing and delivering complex production systems at Staff, Senior Staff, Tech Lead, or equivalent level.

• Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript, Node.js, software architecture, and distributed systems.

• Experience building LLM- or AI-powered features in production, including testing, evaluation, observability, and reliability.

• Strong architectural judgment and the ability to balance simplicity, scalability, and long-term maintainability.

• End-to-end ownership, from ambiguous technical challenges to successful production delivery.

• Ability to influence technical decisions, mentor engineers, and collaborate effectively across teams without formal authority.

Nice to have:

• Multi-provider LLM integrations, AI evaluation frameworks, tracing, or experimentation.

• AWS, infrastructure as code, and event-driven architectures.

• Experience building developer platforms, APIs, SDKs, or open-source products.

• Experience creating shared libraries, frameworks, or internal platforms.

Why join CKSource:

Our people are a huge part of what makes CKSource a great place to work! Aside from a great team, some of our benefits include:

• B2B contract-based monthly remuneration is 32.000 - 40.000 PLN + VAT (or its equivalent on the employment contract) - the final level and compensation will depend on your experience, technical expertise, and the scope of your previous responsibilities.

• Flexible schedule and the possibility to work fully remotely.

• Professional development resources (up to 5 days of additional leave and 6 000 PLN yearly).

• LinkedIn Learning access.

• Extra leave for Tiugo Day - our company’s foundation day and your birthday.

• English lessons with a native speaker and an online language platform where you can learn English, Spanish, and German.

Staff Software Engineer, Backend (Platform - Identity IDV)

We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to own the multi-year technical vision and architecture for Coinbase's identity verification platform within Platform. This platform powers the decision engine, vendor orchestration, and infrastructure that determines whether an identity is genuine at global scale - processing approximately 700K verifications per month across Retail, Prime, and Institutional business lines. You'll define the identity trust layer that every Coinbase product will be built on, leading a three-year arc from platform consolidation through vendor-agnostic orchestration to self-serve scalability for the next billion users.

What you'll do:

• Own end-to-end architecture and technical direction for Coinbase's IDV platform - the decision engine, vendor orchestration layer, and verification infrastructure that all business lines depend on.
• Lead platform consolidation by migrating all IDV onto a single decision-engine-driven platform, retiring 100+ legacy rules and fragmented paths, and eliminating single-vendor points of failure.
• Design and build vendor-agnostic orchestration with automated, real-time routing and failover that selects the optimal vendor per request and dynamically balances fraud prevention (FAR) against user access (FRR/SCR).
• Scale the platform to support every new product, region, and verification modality (document, biometric, liveness) with self-serve configuration so any Coinbase team integrates IDV without a dependency request.
• Drive cross-team technical strategy and set the abstractions, APIs, and platform patterns that the broader Identity org builds on, influencing at the Staff level across multiple pods.

Required Skills and Experience:

• 8+ years of backend software engineering with a track record of deploying and operating large-scale production systems in regulated or fintech environments.
• Proven technical leadership owning end-to-end design and delivery of complex, cross-team backend systems, including system design, architecture, API/data-model design, and production rollout.
• Deep distributed-systems expertise spanning scalability, reliability, API design, and high availability for Tier-0 services.
• Expert-level coding in Go (or equivalent systems language) with hands-on experience in gRPC/microservices, AWS, and Kubernetes.
• Experience in identity, KYC, fraud infrastructure, vendor orchestration, or payments domains with the ability to turn ambiguous compliance and platform problems into actionable technical roadmaps.
• Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
