• Strong hands-on experience with Go and/or Node.js, with a willingness to deepen expertise across both technologies.
• Experience designing, developing, and maintaining scalable backend systems, APIs, real-time data-processing services, and microservice architectures.
• Strong understanding of SQL and experience working with databases or data stores such as DynamoDB, Redis, or Elasticsearch.
• Solid knowledge of software engineering fundamentals and development tools, including Git, IDEs, shell scripting, and CI/CD workflows.
• Ability to investigate complex technical problems independently, analyze system behavior, form hypotheses, run experiments, and turn findings into practical improvements.
• Strong communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively across a globally distributed and asynchronous team.

Responsabilités

• Design, develop, and optimize scalable backend systems supporting real-time data processing and high-performance web services.
• Build, maintain, and improve APIs, microservices, and backend infrastructure with a strong focus on reliability, scalability, and performance.
• Develop primarily with Go and/or Node.js while collaborating across services and technologies to deliver robust backend solutions.
• Partner with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate backend components and ensure systems operate efficiently at scale.
• Investigate complex or problematic features through technical deep dives, root-cause analysis, hypothesis development, experimentation, and data-driven evaluation.
• Conduct performance tuning, debugging, testing, and reliability improvements across backend systems.
• Contribute to a data-driven engineering culture by sharing technical knowledge, best practices, and learnings with colleagues.
• Take ownership of engineering work from initial concept and investigation through implementation, deployment, and iteration.
• Participate in a shared on-call rotation, with schedules communicated in advance and coverage balanced across the team.
• Mentor junior developers and support the technical and professional growth of teammates.
• Contribute to cross-functional and open-source initiatives where appropriate, working effectively with stakeholders across a globally distributed organization.
