About the role

  • Serve as the go-to expert on everything related to the team’s services and infrastructure. Work closely with product managers. Learn and be able to reason about the existing code base on demand, deriving insights quickly and managing context switches effectively.
  • Stay focused on business goals and customer delight. Ensure we deliver features that move the needle and are implemented efficiently and iteratively.
  • Collaborate with developers to uphold high coding standards and work with our architects’ forum to ensure solutions are scalable and aligned with our platform vision. Utilize code generation tools for a larger impact.
  • Identify areas for improvement and propose meaningful enhancements. Acknowledge customer feedback and incorporate your ideas to refine our solutions.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience as a Backend Engineer, with a proven track record of delivering high-quality, scalable solutions.
  • Comfortable coding in multiple languages (Go, Ruby, Node preferred). Experience working with Generative AI technologies (GPT, Copilot, Cursor) is a plus.
  • Strong hands-on experience with AWS (or equivalent). Expertise in high-scale, distributed cloud architectures.
  • Driven by delivery and impact rather than rigid role definitions. You think beyond just backend development and consider the bigger product and business picture.
  • Build strong relationships across disciplines, working closely with product managers, architects, and team leads to ensure impactful execution.
  • The team frequently shifts priorities based on urgency, requiring a high level of context-switching. You should be comfortable diving deep into complex codebases and working beyond your immediate scope.
  • We operate in a fast-changing environment, with active engagement in meetings and Slack.
  • You enjoy communication, humor, and forming real friendships with teammates, creating a fun and comfortable work environment.
