• Collaborate with product managers, frontend developers, and other stakeholders to design and deliver business-critical functionality.
• Promote test-driven development (TDD), maintain comprehensive automated test coverage, and integrate testing into continuous integration and delivery workflows.
• Design, develop, and optimize database schemas and data access patterns across relational, key-value, and time-series databases.
• Apply secure coding practices, address vulnerabilities, and ensure systems meet relevant security and compliance requirements.
• Monitor and optimize system latency, throughput, scalability, and resource utilization to support demanding workloads.
• Contribute to distributed system architecture and ensure backend services remain reliable under high data volumes.
• Mentor other developers, share engineering best practices, and support continuous improvement across the development team.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of backend software development experience, including substantial responsibility for system architecture and technical design.
• Strong proficiency in Go, with the ability to design and implement production-grade backend services; experience with Rust is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience optimizing high-throughput, low-latency systems and diagnosing performance bottlenecks.
• Strong knowledge of database schema design, query optimization, and efficient data storage and retrieval.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, scalability, and high-volume data processing.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted software development tools and the ability to incorporate agentic coding workflows into everyday engineering practices.
• Practical experience with test-driven development, automated testing, and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
• Knowledge of application security principles, including OWASP guidance, secure coding, vulnerability mitigation, and compliance considerations.
• Hands-on experience with cloud-native infrastructure and deployment technologies, including containers, Kubernetes, and service meshes.
