Associate Backend Developer

Company overview

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems license our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

This role opened up after a team member moved internally. Backend role focused on API design, data modeling and making slow things fast. The Payments team owns services that process several million requests a day. We need another engineer who is comfortable owning them in production. This role is fully remote within the US. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed.

Essential duties and responsibilities

Secure endpoints with OAuth 2.0, JWT validation and proper input checks. Implement background jobs and event consumers using Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ. Instrument services with metrics, structured logs and OpenTelemetry traces. Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers. Reduce cloud costs by right-sizing services and cleaning up unused resources. Tune slow queries, add indexes and read query plans. Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS.
