About The Role

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to design, build, and scale services that power customer-facing products. You’ll work across APIs, data pipelines, storage, and infrastructure to deliver reliable, secure, and high-performance systems. This role blends hands-on coding with system design and a strong focus on operational excellence.

What You’ll Do • Design and implement backend services and APIs (REST and/or gRPC) used in production. • Model data and build robust storage layers across relational and NoSQL databases. • Build messaging and streaming integrations (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ) to support asynchronous workflows. • Own service reliability: monitoring, alerting, logging, and on-call participation for critical systems. • Improve performance and scalability through profiling, caching, and query optimization. • Ship code through CI/CD, automate testing, and participate in code reviews and design docs. • Collaborate with product, frontend, data, and infra engineers to deliver end-to-end features.

Tech You May Use • Languages: Python, Go, Java, or similar • Storage: Postgres/MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, or a document store • Messaging/Streams: Kafka, RabbitMQ • Infra: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP/Azure, Terraform • APIs & Auth: REST/gRPC, OAuth/OIDC • Observability: Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK

What We’re Looking For • Strong backend development skills with proficiency in Python (or comparable language). • Solid understanding of databases, operating systems, networking, and distributed systems fundamentals. • Experience building production APIs and services with strong reliability and security practices. • Comfort with containers, cloud services, and infrastructure-as-code. • Clear communication, ownership mindset, and ability to work collaboratively.

Nice to Have • Experience with event-driven architectures and streaming pipelines. • Background in high-throughput or low-latency systems. • Data modeling for analytics or ML workloads. • Security and compliance best practices for production services.

Why Join • Meaningful ownership of core services with real user impact. • Modern stack, strong engineering culture, and opportunities to influence architecture. • Support for growth: mentoring, learning budget, and challenging problems at scale.
