Senior Software Engineer, Backend

Engineering Remote (overlap with PST) Full-time

Bluesky's vision is to make social more like the web itself. We're building a social media app , but beyond that, we've created a protocol that supports a broad ecosystem of applications and clients. Imagine a network of applications — from microblogging to photos to video to long-form writing — all interconnected and accessible with a shared identity.

As a Senior Backend Developer, you’ll be responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure that powers moderation, anti-spam, and user safety. You’ll work closely with our internal operations and product team to build high-scale services for rapid detection and prevention of abuse.

Responsibilities:

Design, implement, and maintain high-volume pipelines and databases

Manage and create ETLs that power automated abuse-prevention

Assist with the scaling and implementation of the backends for internal tools

Work closely with engineers across the organization to integrate safety systems in all our products

Develop monitoring and observability solutions for data infrastructure

You might be a good fit if you:

Must have 10+ years of extensive experience with Go

Have strong fundamental programming and software engineering skills

Have built scalable backend systems (1M+ ops/sec) (e.g. data services, load balancers, etc.)

Have familiarity with the upper limits of operating systems, networks, and storage.

Have significant experience with database systems (e.g. Postgres, MySQL, SQLite)

Have some experience with other data stores (e.g. Scylla/Cassandra, Redis, ClickHouse)

Have some experience with search systems (e.g. Elasticsearch)

Like working on small, fast-moving teams

Previous experience working on infrastructure for social apps at large scale

We’re a fully remote team, but an overlap of working hours with PST is required, and for this role, proximity and willingness to travel to Seattle is a plus. P lease note, there may be an on-site component to these interviews. We offer health, dental, and vision insurance.

Additional Notes: The anticipated base salary range for this position is $200,000 - $270,000, excluding equity. Equity will be considered in the total compensation package. The final base salary for this role will be based on the individual’s geographic location, as well as experience level, skill set, training, licenses and certifications.
