About the Role
We are seeking a Backend Engineer to play a key role in designing and implementing systems that power a modern, large-scale technology platform. This individual will contribute to building high-performance APIs and backend services that are scalable, reliable, and intuitive for end users.
We value engineers who bring strong technical depth, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to delivering production-grade solutions. This role emphasizes problem-solving, ownership, and continuous improvement over specific tool familiarity.
You will partner closely with Product and cross-functional stakeholders throughout the software development lifecycle—translating requirements, iterating on in-progress solutions, and resolving issues identified through testing and validation.
Our platform is built on a microservices architecture leveraging multiple backend technologies. Engineers joining the team will have opportunities to expand their skillset and gain exposure to new tools and frameworks with structured support and mentorship.
Responsibilities
Design and build cloud-native backend services using modern programming languages and open-source frameworks
Develop and maintain comprehensive unit and integration test coverage
Participate actively in agile ceremonies, including daily stand-ups
Contribute to peer code reviews as part of established SDLC and change management processes
Collaborate cross-functionally to refine requirements and deliver high-quality releases
Support performance optimization, scalability improvements, and reliability initiatives
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
5+ years of experience developing web-based applications
Experience with at least one modern backend language (e.g., Scala, Java, Node.js, or similar)
Strong understanding of relational and/or NoSQL database design and data modeling principles
Demonstrated ability to learn new technologies and frameworks quickly
Experience working independently and within collaborative engineering teams
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Effective written and verbal communication skills
Commitment to collaborative, high-quality software development practices
