We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a Troubleshooting team responsible for the stability and reliability of complex, cloud-based, production-grade systems. This is a hands-on backend role — you'll work close to real production issues, distributed systems, and architecture decisions, not just feature delivery.

• Collaborate closely with engineering peers to improve system observability, stability, and resilience
• Partner cross-functionally to define, implement, and troubleshoot integrations and platform features
• Take ownership of technical problems end-to-end, from investigation through resolution

Required Qualifications

• Strong, recent, hands-on experience building and maintaining real backend applications in Python
• Solid experience with Java and Spring Boot in production environments
• Practical experience working with PostgreSQL
• Proven experience designing and building microservices and RESTful APIs
• Experience working with cloud-based, production-grade systems
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills in distributed, production environments
• Comfortable engaging in system design discussions and architectural trade-off conversations
• Ownership mindset and autonomy working through complex, ambiguous technical problems
• Advanced to Fluent English for daily collaboration with international teams

Nice To Have Skills

• Experience with observability and monitoring tooling for production systems
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code or additional cloud services
• Exposure to building AI agents or agentic workflows
• Experience working in consultancy or multi-client environments
