Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer with deep expertise in distributed systems to design, build, and operate large-scale, high-throughput backend services. You will architect core platforms, focusing on scalability, reliability, performance, and clean engineering practices. The ideal candidate combines strong computer science fundamentals with practical experience operating distributed systems at scale, understanding the trade-offs between consistency, availability, and latency.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement large-scale distributed backend systems using Java, Go, Scala, or similar languages.
• Architect data partitioning, replication, and consistency strategies.
• Build resilient APIs and event-driven services with strong observability, idempotency, and graceful degradation patterns.
• Optimize systems for latency, throughput, and cost.
• Lead architecture reviews, technical design discussions, and trade-off analyses.
• Implement robust failure-handling patterns.
• Design and operate data stores at scale (relational, key-value, document, search engines).
• Build comprehensive observability into services (logs, metrics, tracing).
• Drive incident response and post-incident learning.
• Mentor mid-level engineers.
• Partner with SRE and platform teams to drive reliability improvements.
• Contribute to long-term architecture and platform strategy.
• Maintain comprehensive technical documentation.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related discipline.
• 6+ years of professional backend engineering experience, with significant time on distributed systems.
• Strong programming skills in Java, Go, Scala, or similar.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems concepts (consensus, replication, CAP trade-offs).
• Hands-on experience with high-throughput message systems (e.g., Kafka).
• Experience operating systems at scale (capacity planning, performance tuning).
• Strong SQL skills and experience with relational and NoSQL data stores.
• Hands-on experience with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and mentorship skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading complex technical initiatives.
• Hands-on experience with production Kubernetes-based platforms.
• Exposure to service-mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd).
• Familiarity with chaos engineering practices.
• Open-source contributions to relevant distributed systems projects.
