Hiring: Lead Platform Engineer - On-Site (Irvine) Company: Eggs Unlimited Location: Irvine, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-16 14:11:40 Target Skills & Keywords : Azure, Embedded Systems, Python, TypeScript About the job Experience: •Food distribution, logistics, retail and CPG, trading, ERP or EDI, financial operations, or other trading-partner ecosystems •Ambiguous, high-ownership environments where designing, building, and running the system were the same job: founder, early employee, solution architect who stayed hands-on, forward-deployed engineer •Team, Environment, and How Decisions Get Made •Our environment spans cloud services on Azure, relational and event-sourced data stores, services in Go and Python, a TypeScript front end, an enterprise ERP core, and a retrieval layer over the company's own operating history. You will not be expected to have used all of it. •Join at the "second floor" of a hyper-growth company rapidly becoming a skyscraper – help build what comes next Required Skills: •We leverage AI to bring food to every table. •The Problem We Are Solving •The product layer is largely greenfield. You will be building it, not maintaining someone else's version of it, though it has to work with the operational systems the business already runs on. We move quickly and we build practical solutions that scale, not demos. •None of that loop works in pieces: a forecast is only as good as the data under it, and a booked load has to reach the ledger intact. Somebody has to design the platform that makes it one flow, and build it. That is you. •You do not need prior experience in our exact stack. What matters is whether you can build things, whether you take ownership, and whether you can hold the big picture while you do it. •Think like a customer, act like an owner. •Start from the loop, not the ticket. Decide what the platform has to become three capabilities from now, and build today's piece so nobody has to tear it out. Think big, and ship the first slice this month. Qualifications: •Demonstrated experience designing and building systems that span more than one application: data models, integration contracts, infrastructure, and the failure behavior between them, in real operating environments •You ship production code. You are accountable for what it does in production, however it was produced. Product features, infrastructure, and harnesses are all real software, and all of it is held to that standard •Serious agentic development practice. Show us real parallel-agent work: how you decompose tasks, manage context, review and reconcile output, design tests and evaluations, an example of a failure you caught, and a case where you decided not to use an agent. Anonymize anything confidential •Ownership. You have carried something end to end and been accountable for whether it worked, not for whether it shipped •Enough backend, data, cloud, and deployment competence to stand up services and the environments they run in, integrate systems, and debug production independently •Judgment about correctness in nondeterministic systems: evaluations, observability, failure-mode thinking, guardrails, human escalation, and rollback •You can make technical decisions and tradeoffs understandable to people who are not engineers, and write them down so they outlast the conversation •We do not screen on years of experience, and we do not screen on which technologies you have used. Seniority here is calibrated by scope, judgment, autonomy, and outcomes. Show us what you have built. Compensation: •$180,000 - $210,000 / year •Medical, dental, and vision benefits Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
