About This Role :

We're looking for a backend engineer who takes ownership of outcomes, not just code. In this role, you'll work on business-critical systems and drive features from initial problem definition through to production and ongoing reliability.

You’ll work closely with Product, QA, DevOps, and Data teams to move work forward, resolve ambiguity, and ensure systems are built for scale, security, and long-term maintainability.

What You'll Do :

Own End-to-End Delivery :

Own features from requirement clarification through design, development, deployment, and monitoring
Identify gaps, edge cases, and risks early in the development cycle
Drive decisions when requirements are unclear or evolving
Follow up with stakeholders to ensure progress and alignment
Deliver outcomes with accountability for quality and timelines

Work Across Teams to Drive Execution :

Collaborate with Product to clarify requirements and challenge assumptions
Partner with QA to ensure test coverage and release readiness
Work with DevOps/SRE to enable reliable deployments and observability
Align with Data and Analytics teams to validate business logic
Communicate progress, risks, and dependencies clearly and early

Build and Scale Backend Systems :

Design and build backend services using Node.js
Work with databases such as MySQL and MongoDB
Develop systems using asynchronous processing patterns (e.g., Kafka)
Implement search and indexing solutions where needed (e.g., Elasticsearch)
Design systems for scalability, resilience, and performance

Build Secure, Enterprise-Ready Systems :

Implement secure APIs and access control mechanisms
Ensure data protection through appropriate handling of sensitive data
Build systems aligned with enterprise-grade security expectations
Incorporate security considerations into design and development decisions

Ensure Quality and Production Reliability :

Write and maintain high-quality, reliable code
Investigate production issues and drive root cause resolution
Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting for services
Improve system stability through ongoing fixes and enhancements

Use AI to Improve Execution :

Use AI tools to accelerate development, testing, and debugging
Apply judgment to validate outputs and maintain code quality
Integrate AI into day-to-day workflows to improve efficiency

Work with Cloud-Native Infrastructure :

Build and run services in containerized environments using Docker
Work with Kubernetes-based deployments
Contribute to system reliability through understanding of scaling and failure handling

What We're Looking For :

Experience building backend systems using Node.js
Experience working with distributed systems and asynchronous architectures
Experience with databases such as MySQL and MongoDB
Experience working in cross-functional teams to deliver software
Ability to take ownership of features from concept to production
Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on business outcomes
Clear communication and ability to work across stakeholders

Nice to Have :

Experience with Kafka or similar messaging systems
Experience with Elasticsearch or similar search technologies
Experience working with Docker and Kubernetes
Exposure to security practices in enterprise applications
Experience using AI tools in development workflows

What Makes You a Strong Fit :

Take ownership of outcomes rather than individual tasks
Drive clarity and execution in ambiguous situations
Collaborate effectively to unblock teams and move work forward
Maintain a strong focus on quality, reliability, and security
Use AI tools thoughtfully to improve speed and effectiveness

Why This Role Matters :

This role is central to building and running systems that power core business workflows. Your work will directly impact how reliably and securely these systems operate, and how effectively teams can deliver value to customers.
