Original job description

Key Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain highly scalable distributed systems and backend services.

Develop and improve systems responsible for syncing large volumes of customer data.

Optimize data-processing performance, reliability, throughput, and latency.

Design systems that support batch and real-time data synchronization.

Build and scale event collection, streaming, and messaging services.

Identify and resolve bottlenecks as systems grow by multiple orders of magnitude.

Contribute to multi-cloud and multi-region backend infrastructure.

Support systems that serve a global customer base and meet data-residency requirements.

Work closely with customers and internal engineering teams to solve challenging scaling problems.

Own projects end-to-end, from system design and technical planning through implementation and delivery.

Make sound technical decisions in an environment involving complex and ambiguous engineering challenges.

Required Qualifications

7+ years of professional software engineering experience.

Strong background in backend engineering and distributed systems.

Excellent understanding of system design fundamentals and large-scale distributed architectures.

Experience building complex backend systems from scratch rather than only integrating pre-built components.

Hands-on experience with technologies such as:

Message queues and event-driven systems.

Apache Kafka or similar streaming platforms.

SQL and other database technologies.

Kubernetes.

Docker.

Proven experience owning systems that have undergone significant growth and scaling them successfully.

Strong programming and software architecture skills.

Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.

Ability to learn quickly, work independently, and take ownership of ambiguous problems.

Demonstrated career progression and increasing levels of responsibility.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience building data-syncing engines that process terabytes of data per day.

Experience with real-time data systems, webhooks, queues, or streaming sources.

Experience working close to the infrastructure layer.

Strong understanding of how technologies such as Kafka, Spark, or Flink work internally.

Experience with multi-region and multi-cloud architectures.

Experience working at a high-growth technology company or startup.

Experience building systems during periods of rapid company and product growth.

Background in high-talent-density engineering environments.

Degree in Computer Science or a related field from a strong technical program.
