We’re looking for a senior backend engineer who thinks in systems, designs for growth, and enjoys building reliable, scalable services.

• Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code while raising engineering standards across the team.

AND YOU CAN CHECK OFF:

• Strong experience building production-grade backend systems;
• Solid understanding of software design principles, distributed systems, and API design;
• Experience with databases, messaging systems, and service-oriented or event-driven architectures;
• Ability to reason about concurrency, performance, and reliability;
• Confidence participating in architectural discussions and technical decision-making.

BONUS POINTS IF YOU:

• Have experience building or scaling systems serving millions of requests;
• Leveraged hands-on production experience with Go;
• Developed a strong understanding of observability, reliability, and operational excellence;
