Backend Developer

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Headquartered in Atlanta since 1997, the company now sells in 40 countries and supports customers in 11 languages. Founded in 1997, we now have 230 employees.

The role:

Our Atlanta team is growing and we are hiring a Backend Developer. You'll work mostly on server-side code: services, queues, databases and the glue between them. Little to no frontend work. Fully remote, but we prefer candidates within a few hours of Eastern time.

Main duties:

• Coordinate with frontend and mobile engineers on API contracts and versioning.
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB.
• Instrument services with metrics, structured logs and OpenTelemetry traces.
• Reduce cloud costs by right-sizing services and cleaning up unused resources.
• Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers.
• Secure endpoints with OAuth 2.0, JWT validation and proper input checks.
• Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS.
• Handle on-call for services the team owns and lead incident follow-ups.

Qualifications:

• 2-4 years of backend development experience in a production environment.
• Strong SQL and relational data modeling skills.
• Understanding of concurrency, transactions, idempotency and retries.
• Experience designing and versioning HTTP APIs.

Preferred qualifications:

• Terraform or Pulumi.
• Background with high-volume payment or ledger systems.

Salary: $71.50-$81.00/hr

Pay and benefits:

• Home office stipend.
