Senior Backend Engineer (Integrations & Platform)

Role overview Build and operate backend systems that support complex integrations with government and enterprise partners. The initial focus is a demanding two-way data sync, with an opportunity to establish reusable patterns that improve integration reliability across the platform. The work combines hands-on development, production debugging, and operational improvements.

Responsibilities - Design, build, and maintain partner integrations, including work with APIs that may have limited documentation. - Develop asynchronous workflows using queues, retries, idempotency, and eventual consistency to handle duplicate, missing, or invalid data safely. - Create backend services, serverless functions, and internal tools that reduce manual support work. - Improve observability with structured logs, metrics, tracing, and alerts so teams can detect and investigate issues. - Debug production systems, validate data, and resolve integration failures, including in unfamiliar code. - Coordinate API changes and deployments with external partners and define integration practices others can reuse.

Requirements - The posting describes a senior, hands-on backend engineering role, but the available source does not provide a detailed list of required languages, frameworks, or years of experience. - The work calls for sound judgment in designing reliable asynchronous integrations and diagnosing production problems. - Ability to collaborate with engineering, customer success, support, and external partner teams is central to the role.

Benefits and work setup - Remote across the United States and Canada, with 5–6 hours of daily overlap with an Eastern Time team. - Optional access to an office in Toronto; travel may be expected up to once per quarter for team gatherings. - Listed benefits include unlimited paid time off, healthcare, a career development budget, technology reimbursement, and flexible schedules. - Stated base salary ranges are USD $150,000–$185,000 in the United States and CAD $130,000–$170,000 in Canada.
