Senior Software Engineer: Back-end

Role overview

Design and scale backend services and foundational APIs for a multi-tenant enterprise platform. You’ll address performance and reliability challenges across distributed systems while helping set engineering standards through technical design, collaboration, and mentorship.

Responsibilities - Build high-throughput backend services, platform APIs, and distributed data capabilities using JVM technologies and a mix of relational and non-relational stores. - Improve software quality with unit, integration, and service-level testing, and work with infrastructure colleagues to strengthen cloud environments and automated delivery pipelines. - Use metrics, tracing, and alerts to identify bottlenecks, improve database performance, and maintain platform health. - Lead design reviews, break down complex work with product and design partners, and support engineers across teams. - Apply AI coding assistants and developer automation to improve workflows, modernize existing code, and speed up delivery.

Requirements - At least five years of professional experience building enterprise backend systems with Java, Kotlin, or a comparable JVM language and Spring Boot. - Experience designing, deploying, and operating distributed systems and REST APIs in AWS or a similar cloud environment. - Hands-on knowledge of databases, caching, and asynchronous messaging; examples in the role include PostgreSQL, Neo4j, Redis, and RabbitMQ. - A strong testing mindset, with experience applying automated tests across multiple levels of a system. - Practical interest or experience in AI coding tools, language models, or agent-based developer workflows. - Ability to work effectively in a remote, collaborative engineering team and attend occasional in-person team or company events.

Nice to have

Experience with graph data modeling, event-driven systems, or multi-tenant SaaS architecture is useful. Familiarity with tools such as Docker, Terraform, and GitLab CI, or an interest in contributing across the software lifecycle, would also be relevant.
