Backend Software Engineer
Software Company
The Role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take ownership of backend and infrastructure systems, building services from scratch and gradually taking over areas currently handled by a senior engineer. The role suits someone who ships quickly, makes sound technical decisions and works closely with customers and the team.
What You'll Do
Take full ownership of core backend services within the first few months.
Build and scale infrastructure for running sandboxed workloads, gateways and task orchestration.
Ship features to customers quickly, gather their feedback and iterate within days.
Make technical decisions independently and defend them within the team.
Reduce the team's dependence on its most senior engineer by taking over backend areas.
What We're Looking For
Strong backend and distributed systems fundamentals.
Experience designing and building production systems from zero to one.
Hands-on experience with AWS, networking and containers.
Solid database skills, such as Postgres.
A strong track record of working autonomously and shipping fast with a focus on customer impact.
Clear communication of technical reasoning in spoken and written English.
3 to 7 years of professional experience, with 5 or more years preferred.
Prior experience at a fast-growing early-stage startup.
Currently working as a hands-on individual contributor, with a most recent role at a startup.
Daily use of coding agents.
Bonus Points
Some hands-on work with isolated execution environments or API routing layers for automated software.
Prior experience as a founding engineer more than once.
Working knowledge of the tools software developers rely on day to day.
