  • Implement RESTful APIs and backend services with strong focus on scalability, maintainability, and testability.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and code reviews, promoting best practices across the engineering organization.
  • Leverage cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and IAM services to build secure and efficient systems.
  • Monitor, debug, and maintain distributed systems, ensuring high availability and performance.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of product features — from design and implementation to deployment and optimization.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of proven experience in backend software engineering.
  • Strong proficiency in Golang or Java, with solid experience in designing and implementing RESTful APIs.
  • Deep understanding of Microservices Architecture and distributed system design.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform) and IAM features.
  • Familiarity with SQL/NoSQL databases, caching mechanisms, and scalable backend infrastructure.
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration is a plus.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and collaboration in fast-paced, agile environments.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary and equity participation.
  • Comprehensive health and life insurance coverage.
  • Flexible working arrangements with remote options across EMEA.
