About the role

  • Own backend features end-to-end: discovery, design, implementation, rollout, and long-term reliability/operations
  • Design and evolve distributed systems (services, pipelines, data stores) with strong performance, scalability, and resiliency
  • Build and maintain APIs (REST/GraphQL, where relevant) and data access patterns supporting analytics and search use cases
  • Establish strong engineering fundamentals: code reviews, testing strategies, incident readiness, and operational excellence
  • Apply an experimentation-first approach: define hypotheses, define success metrics/guardrails, run controlled rollouts and A/B tests when appropriate, and write clear readouts for stakeholders.
  • Bring evaluation discipline to AI-assisted work: treat prompts/configs like versioned artifacts, design regression tests, measure quality changes, and monitor for drift (the same way you would for performance or correctness)
  • Use GenAI productively and responsibly (for coding assistance, debugging, and design reviews), while maintaining high standards for correctness, security, and privacy.
  • Mentor teammates and raise the bar through documentation, pairing, and lightweight coaching on best practices

Requirements

  • 5+ years building and scaling backend systems (distributed systems experience expected at senior level)
  • Strong JVM fundamentals; ability to troubleshoot and performance-tune production services
  • Production experience with Kotlin (functional/reactive patterns a strong plus)
  • Strong SQL + data modeling skills (PostgreSQL; familiarity with jOOQ or similar)
  • Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka) and cloud deployment on AWS; containers (Docker/Kubernetes)
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across functions
  • Comfort with AI-assisted engineering and the discipline to validate outcomes (tests, metrics, evaluation) rather than trusting outputs blindly.
Benefits
  • Competitive Salary
  • Remote Work Options with Hybrid Flexibility and Home Office Set-Up Stipend
  • Coworking Office Subscription for Collaborative Spaces
  • Comprehensive Health, Dental, and Life Insurance Coverage*
  • Open Vacation Policy and Flexible Holiday Schedule to Suit Your Needs
  • Paid Parental Leave to Support Quality Time with Your Loved Ones
  • Career Development, including Internal and External Training Opportunities
