Senior Backend Engineer (VDI)
$180k - $250kDecruit LLC
Remote Desktop Software Engineer
We build remote desktop software for high-performance workstations. The product must be invisible, ultra-fast, and production grade for enterprise customers. We're a small, senior R&D team obsessed with squeezing milliseconds out of systems, shipping products that scale to millions of users, and delivering engineering work you can be proud of.
What You'll Own
- Operate and evolve the core backend powering authentication, permissions, admin tooling, telemetry, and high-performance network relays.
- Design and implement secure, multi-region systems and APIs that support millions of users with enterprise-grade security.
- Lead refactors and additions to a complex server codebase (monolith → clean architecture preferred).
- Partner closely with product, support, and infrastructure to ship features end-to-end and iterate with customers.
Skills & Qualifications
- 7–15 years building backend systems in startups or scale-ups (enterprise SaaS a big plus).
- Strong track record of shipping secure, reliable, and performant backend services.
- Comfortable with owning large areas of a product and making pragmatic tradeoffs.
- Happy to go deep: prefer building the right low-dependency solution rather than bolting on the latest library.
- Product- and customer-focused. You care about fit & finish and good UX for admins and IT users.
Nice To Have
- Experience with API/permissions modeling, complex admin/enterprise features, telemetry/event systems, or large refactors of monoliths.
- Go experience preferred but we'll hire Go-curious engineers coming from Java, Django, Rails, or C# backgrounds.
Compensation & Benefits
- $180,000 to $250,000 USD base salary per year
- Equity
- Comprehensive healthcare benefits
- Generous PTO
- And more...
