Job description

We’re seeking Backend Engineers to help build and scale the core backend systems of our platform. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role for engineers who thrive in ambiguity, take ownership of complex systems, and enjoy shaping technical direction while still shipping production code.

You’ll work closely with founding engineers and product partners to design, implement, and evolve distributed backend services that must be secure, reliable, and performant at national scale. Depending on experience, you may own specific subsystems, contribute to architectural decisions, and help establish engineering best practices as the team grows.

This role offers the opportunity to apply strong engineering fundamentals in a fast‑moving startup environment, with scope and responsibility matched to experience and clear room to grow.
