## Role Overview
We're building the agentic design platform—an AI chat interface (+API) that lets anyone go from prompt to production-grade visual in minutes. Under the hood we're using Liveblocks.io for sync and storage, Postgres/Supabase for catalog + ops log + jobs + assets, and workers for renders/ML ops.

## Responsibilities
Own the realtime and services layer that powers our editor and agents. You’ll design APIs, job queues, and sync/multiplayer primitives, and work with our frontend engineer who will handle the UI/agent surfaces.

**What you’ll do**
*   Design and ship backend services in **Node.js + TypeScript** (REST/tRPC/GraphQL).
*   Implement **realtime sync** (presence, cursors, ops) over WebSockets; integrate **Liveblocks.io** or equivalent.
*   Build **job/worker** pipelines for renders & ML ops (BullMQ/Redis, SQS, or Cloudflare Queues).
*   Model and query **Postgres** (via Supabase) for designs, ops logs, snapshots, and usage metering.
*   Orchestrate asset flows with **Supabase storage (S3)**; ensure idempotency, retries, and back-pressure.
*   Add observability (logs/metrics/traces), testing, and pragmatic docs.

## Required Skills
*   **TypeScript** and **Node.js** in production backends.
*   **WebSockets**/realtime systems and solid API design.
*   **Postgres** data modeling + performance; **Redis** familiarity.
*   **Queue/worker** patterns, reliability (retries, DLQs), and security basics.
*   Strong skills in **API architecture design** and implementation.
*   Ability to work effectively within **Pacific Time (PST)** and LATAM timezones.

## Nice to Have
*   **Liveblocks.io** (or OT/CRDT concepts) for multiplayer sync.
*   **Cloudflare Workers/Queues**, serverless/Vercel, or containerized services.
*   **Web Workers** concepts (for client/edge offload) and perf debugging.
*   Graphics/render pipelines (**WebGL/Canvas**) awareness to collaborate on render jobs.
*   AuthZ/AuthN (e.g., Clerk), rate limiting, and usage metering.

## What makes this exciting
*   Small senior team, high ownership.
*   You’ll define the backbone that lets agents and humans co-create in realtime.
