About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build and own backend services in Python and Node.js, architect serverless compute layers, and develop the APIs that tie frontend experiences to the underlying data and logic.
Contribute to sophisticated workflow engines; state machines, asynchronous event pipelines, and reliable retry/failure patterns across distributed services.
Design and evolve RESTful interfaces, integrate third-party and internal systems, and leverage advanced NoSQL data modeling techniques (composite key strategies, transactional operations) to keep things fast and correct under load.
Monitor, debug, and continuously improve system observability and deployment reliability on cloud-native infrastructure.
Collaborate across time zones, contribute meaningfully in code reviews, take end-to-end ownership of features, and help shape how the team works, not just what it ships.
