Backend Developer

The company

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day.

Our team is growing and we are hiring a Backend Developer. Backend role focused on API design, data modelling and making slow things fast. You'll work mostly on server-side code: services, queues, databases and the glue between them. Little to no frontend work. Remote, open to candidates across India. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

What you'll do

• Design and build REST and gRPC APIs in Go, Java or Python
• Tune slow queries, add indexes and read query plans
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB
• Handle on-call for services the team owns and lead incident follow-ups
• Add caching with Redis where it actually helps, and remove it where it doesn't
• Document APIs in OpenAPI and keep the docs current
• Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS
• Instrument services with metrics, structured logs and OpenTelemetry traces

About you

• 3+ years of backend development experience in a production environment
• Understanding of concurrency, transactions, idempotency and retries
• Working knowledge of message queues or streaming platforms

Pay and benefits

• Health insurance for you and your family
• Provident fund
• Paid leave
• Gratuity

If you are shortlisted, we will reach out to set up a first call.
