Role Overview

We are looking for a veteran backend engineer who has operated at scale in top-tier product companies and is ready to take on a high-stakes leadership role.

As an SDE-3, you will serve as a technical pillar and the primary guardian of engineering quality. You will be responsible for the architectural integrity of our platform and the professional growth of the engineers around you.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the evolution of our backend to handle 10x traffic growth, focusing on distributed systems, data consistency, and low-latency response times.
• Lead the creation and execution of complex, cross-functional Technical Design Documents for major product milestones.
• Lead and participate in Technical Spec authored by other engineers, providing critical feedback to ensure high-level alignment and system integrity.
• Own the "uptime" of our platform by implementing advanced monitoring, automated failovers, and robust disaster recovery strategies.
• Actively coach SDE-1s and SDE-2s, fostering a culture of technical excellence and "ownership" within the team.
• Ensure backend architecture meets industry data security and privacy standards

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience at high-growth product companies (Tier-1 startups or Big Tech) with a focus on high-scale backend systems.
• Deep experience with databases (PostgreSQL), caching (Redis), and message brokers (SQS/RabbitMQ).
• Ability to design complex systems from scratch and defend architectural choices in front of executive leadership.
• Deep hands-on knowledge of AWS, Kubernetes (K8s), and Docker.
• Experience building and optimizing CI/CD deployment pipelines.
• Experience setting up observability frameworks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, or New Relic).
• Experience leading a team of engineers and the confidence to take charge of technical delivery in the absence of the Engineering Manager.
• Good to have experience setting up and managing large-scale data pipelines, specifically using ClickHouse or equivalent high-concurrency data stores.
