Are you passionate about building scalable, fault-tolerant backend systems in distributed environments? Do you thrive on solving complex engineering challenges while optimizing deployment and observability?
What You’ll Do
Design, develop, and operate large-scale distributed backend systems that power mission-critical applications.
Implement microservices, APIs, and data pipelines using backend like Go, Python, or Java.
Lead deployment automation efforts through containerization (Docker) and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines enabling seamless, reliable software delivery.
Architect and implement end-to-end observability with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, and OpenTelemetry, ensuring system transparency and rapid troubleshooting.
Optimize system performance, scalability, and availability while enabling robust monitoring and alerting across distributed environments.
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across engineering, product, and operations to deliver resilient, high-impact solutions.
What We’re Looking For
Proven hands-on experience with distributed systems architecture, including deep understanding of reliability, consistency models, and concurrency.
Expertise in backend development with at least one of Go, Python, Java, or Rust.
Strong experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes, Nomad).
Skilled in CI/CD tooling and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm, Ansible).
Proficient with observability tools and frameworks (Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry, ELK stack).
Ability to design scalable, observable systems that offer actionable insights and rapid incident response.
Solid cloud platform experience (AWS, GCP, Azure) and familiarity with automated deployment and rollback.
Excellent problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and a proactive ownership mindset.
Why Join?
This is your chance to be at the forefront of building the backbone for the next wave of AI-driven, intelligent applications. You’ll work alongside talented engineers in a fast-paced, innovative environment where your contributions have direct and meaningful impact. Embrace autonomy, continuous learning, and the opportunity to solve some of the toughest challenges in distributed backend engineering.
