✨ AI‑Generated
A Backend Engineer is sought to build reliable APIs, distributed services, and data systems powering user-facing applications at scale. You will design services in Go, Java, or another strongly typed language, work with relational and distributed data technologies, and own features from technical design through production operations. The role emphasizes low latency, observability, reliability, data integrity, and close collaboration with product and engineering teams.
Highlights
Backend engineering role with end-to-end ownership of scalable services, APIs, data systems, performance, reliability, and production operations, using modern distributed-system technologies.
Description
About The Role
The Backend Engineer builds the APIs, services, and data systems that power user-facing products at scale.
The role focuses on designing reliable distributed services in Go or Java, working with PostgreSQL and Kafka, and delivering low-latency systems that remain dependable as traffic and product complexity grow.
You will own backend features from technical design through production operations, partnering with frontend, mobile, product, and infrastructure engineers.
The work directly affects product performance, data integrity, and the pace at which new customer experiences can ship.
Key Responsibilities
Design and implement scalable backend services and REST or gRPC APIs using Go, Java, or a comparable strongly typed languageBuild reliable data workflows with PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, and cloud-managed storage systemsOwn service performance and reliability through profiling, capacity planning, observability, and production incident responseDefine API contracts, data models, and service boundaries in collaboration with frontend and mobile engineersDeploy and operate services on AWS or GCP using Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automationWrite comprehensive unit, integration, and contract tests; review code and raise engineering quality across the teamPartner with product and design to break ambiguous requirements into measurable technical deliverables
What We Are Looking For
3–8 years of professional backend or software engineering experience, with a track record of operating production servicesStrong proficiency in Go, Java, Python, or another modern backend language, including experience with concurrency and asynchronous processingHands-on experience designing RESTful or gRPC APIs, service-oriented architectures, and versioned data contractsSolid knowledge of relational databases, SQL, indexing, transactions, and schema migration strategies; experience with PostgreSQL is preferredExperience with distributed systems and messaging technologies such as Kafka, SQS, RabbitMQ, or Pub/SubWorking knowledge of cloud infrastructure, containers, observability tools, and automated testing and deployment practicesBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent professional experience; Bonus: experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, event-driven architectures, GraphQL, or high-scale consumer products
