- Continuously improve system performance, latency, reliability, and scalability in a high-throughput environment.
- Collaborate closely with Product Owners, engineers, and cross-functional teams to deliver features end-to-end.
- Drive and participate in code reviews, setting a high standard for clean, maintainable, efficient, and production-ready code.
- Conduct architectural reviews and guide the team toward practical, scalable, and long-term technical solutions.
- Solve complex business and technical problems with a strong engineering mindset and pragmatic decision-making.
- Act as a technical role model for the team by showing strong ownership, discipline, and engineering excellence.
- Mentor other engineers through daily collaboration, technical discussions, and hands-on example.
- Participate in on-call rotations within the squad to ensure system reliability, availability, and fast incident response.
- Grow toward technical leadership while remaining strongly connected to code, delivery, and system ownership.
Requirements
What you’ll need- Strong hands-on backend engineering experience with a proven record of writing production code on a daily basis.

- Experience with columnar databases such as ClickHouse and/or NoSQL technologies such as DynamoDB or MongoDB.
- Strong ability to design, build, test, deploy, and maintain production-ready backend services.
- Experience developing and maintaining unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests.
- Proven ability to work with high-load, scalable, and business-critical systems.
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, and performance optimisation skills.
- Ability to make technical decisions independently and take responsibility for their impact.
