Backend Engineer

The role owns the design, implementation, and scaling of core backend services and APIs powering user-facing products and high-throughput microservices.

The engineering team works across the full backend stack to solve complex architectural challenges where low latency, fault tolerance, and data consistency are paramount.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build scalable, secure RESTful and GraphQL APIs using Node.js, Python, or Go for distributed microservices architecture
• Optimize relational and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, Redis, and DynamoDB for performance, data integrity, and high availability
• Implement containerized deployments and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes within AWS or GCP cloud environments
• Write comprehensive unit, integration, and load tests to maintain high code quality and system reliability standards
• Participate in technical design reviews, code reviews, and on-call rotations to ensure operational excellence across services

• 3–6 years of professional software engineering experience specializing in backend systems and distributed architectures
• Strong proficiency in at least one modern backend programming language such as Python, Go, or TypeScript/Node.js
• Demonstrated experience designing and maintaining production databases, caching layers, and message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
• Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform
• Bonus: Experience building event-driven architectures, contributing to open-source projects, or holding a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science
