Job Level
About the role
- Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs, primarily in Golang, with Python used where it best fits the problem domain.
- Develop, deploy, and operate software across both cloud and on-premise environments, leveraging Docker and Kubernetes as core platform technologies.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across engineering, quality, and product to deliver cohesive, end-to-end product functionality.
- Take end-to-end ownership of features, from technical design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and ongoing operation in production.
- Contribute to system design and architectural discussions, helping evolve backend and platform components as the product and customer base scale.
- Write high-quality, maintainable, and well-tested code, and actively participate in code reviews to uphold strong engineering standards.
- Improve reliability, performance, security, and observability of services running in distributed and resource-intensive environments.
- Debug and resolve issues across application code, containerized workloads, and infrastructure layers in both customer and internal environments.
- Continuously look for ways to improve development efficiency and software quality by adopting better tooling, workflows, and emerging technologies - including experimenting with modern developer tools and AI-assisted workflows where they add real value.
- Stay curious and proactive about learning new approaches, technologies, and best practices, and apply them pragmatically in a fast-moving startup environment.
