We are looking for a senior engineer who doesn’t just write code – they own outcomes. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of backend services: from design and development through production reliability. In an era where AI can generate code, we value engineers who think critically, anticipate problems, and drive systems forward.

What We Expect:

End-to-End Ownership:

• Own features from design -> development -> testing -> deployment -> production support
• Take accountability for the reliability and performance of your services in production
• Drive technical decisions without waiting to be told what to do

System Design & Architecture:

• Design scalable, resilient distributed systems handling millions of daily transactions
• Make pragmatic trade-off decisions (consistency vs. availability, complexity vs. speed)
• Produce clear technical design documents and lead design reviews
• Evaluate build vs. buy decisions with data

Development:

• Build high-throughput, low-latency microservices using frameworks like NestJS, Express, or Fastify
• Write clean, type-safe, maintainable code – but more importantly, know when and what to build

Testing & Quality:

• Write meaningful unit, integration, and contract tests – not just for coverage metrics
• Own E2E test strategy for your services
• Build confidence in deployments through automated validation

Infrastructure & Cloud (AWS):

• Hands-on with AWS services (ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, SQS, CloudWatch, IAM)
• Understand networking, security, and cost implications of architectural choices
• Comfortable with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation)

Data & Messaging:

• Kafka – design event-driven architectures, manage topics, handle consumer lag and rebalancing
• Redis – caching strategies, pub/sub, cluster management
