Reimagine commerce at the edge-where distributed systems meet the real world

At Voyix, we are building a next-generation retail platform that operates at the edge , inside thousands of stores, where latency, resilience, and real-world constraints redefine traditional cloud design.

Our platform is composed of distributed microservices orchestrated via Kubernetes , running in constrained, high-uptime environments and integrating seamlessly with global commerce ecosystems. This is not typical backend work-this is systems engineering at scale in unpredictable environments .

We're looking for engineers who think in systems, obsess over reliability, and take end-to-end ownership of complex, high-impact software.

What You'll Work On

• Architect and build distributed systems that run reliably in-store across heterogeneous environments
• Design fault-tolerant microservices that handle intermittent connectivity, data consistency, and edge synchronization
• Own services end-to-end : design → implementation → production → observability → iteration
• Build and operate systems deployed via Kubernetes at the edge
• Define and evolve service contracts (Protobuf/gRPC) and integration layers with third-party systems
• Drive engineering excellence through code reviews, design reviews, and operational rigor
• Improve system performance, scalability, and resilience under real-world constraints
• Debug and resolve complex, cross-layer issues spanning hardware, networking, and distributed services
• Mentor engineers and influence technical direction and best practices

What You Bring

Minimum Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience building production-grade distributed systems
• Strong fundamentals in systems design, concurrency, and data consistency models
• Proven experience designing and operating microservices architectures
• Proficiency in at least one systems/backend language:
  • Go (preferred), or similar (Java, C++, Rust)
• Experience with modern API and data interchange paradigms:
  • gRPC / REST / Protobuf
• Strong understanding of databases (NoSQL and/or distributed data systems)
• Demonstrated ability to own problems end-to-end and operate independently
• Experience debugging complex issues across multiple system boundaries
• Clear, concise communicator able to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience running workloads in:
  • Kubernetes (including edge or hybrid environments)
  • Docker / containerized systems
• Experience with event-driven architectures and eventual consistency
• Familiarity with:
  • CouchDB or similar distributed/replicated data stores
  • Observability tooling (metrics, logging, tracing)
• Experience with developer productivity tooling:
  • GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, SonarQube, Playwright
• Experience with AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., GitHub Copilot)
• Background in retail systems (POS, inventory, pricing, tax) or other high-transaction domains
• Experience in high-availability, offline-capable systems

What Sets This Role Apart

Operate Where Cloud Assumptions Break

Most distributed systems assume stable infrastructure. Ours don't. You'll design for:

• Intermittent connectivity
• Local-first processing
• Edge synchronization
• Real-time customer interaction

Real Ownership

You are not a ticket-taker. You:

• Define the problem
• Design the solution
• Ship to production
• Own outcomes

High Technical Bar

We value:

• Thoughtful system design over quick fixes
• Deep debugging skills over surface-level fixes
• Engineers who challenge assumptions and raise the bar
