Job Summary

Design and own backend services that have to stay reliable and fast under massive, unpredictable consumer traffic. As a Senior Software Engineer Backend at Talentica, you ll build distributed, microservices-based systems in Go and Node.js, solving engineering challenges such as high availability, asynchronous event-driven architecture, and system design at global scale.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable, distributed backend systems that serve millions of consumers globally.
• Own critical services within a microservices architecture, delivering complex features against timeline, quality, reliability, and performance expectations.
• Optimize backend systems for reliability, scalability, security, and performance.
• Partner with Product Managers, Designers, Architects, QA, and SRE to align engineering delivery with business outcomes.
• Define and promote engineering best practices across software design, code quality, automated testing, CI/CD, and DevOps.
• Contribute across the full SDLC analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and post-production support.
• Participate in production monitoring, incident response, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.

Requirements

• 6+ years of backend engineering experience with strong hands-on proficiency in Go and Node.js.
• Strong system-design and architectural experience building scalable, highly available products and services.
• Extensive experience with RESTful APIs, microservices, distributed systems, and asynchronous event-driven architectures.
• Strong understanding of HTTP protocols, API design, relational and NoSQL databases, caching, messaging, and Linux systems.
• Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience working in Agile delivery environments using iterative and incremental development practices.
• Good to have: familiarity with Ruby on Rails, ReactJS, or other modern frameworks (advantageous but not mandatory).

Why It's Worth Your Time

• Youll bring AI-assisted tools into your daily Go and Node.js development and debugging workflow.
• Owning critical services in a system built for millions of consumers globally is how youll grow into a senior distributed-systems architect.
• Youll be guided by hands-on senior engineers and architects who review your system design decisions closely, and help you grow.
• Youll be surrounded by talented peers with strong educational backgrounds, and pushed to sharpen your distributed-systems instincts working alongside them.
