Backend Engineer

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts.

The role

We are creating this position because the workload has grown. The Core API team owns services that process several million requests a day. We need another engineer who is comfortable owning them in production. This hire will help us split a large monolith into a handful of well-defined services without breaking anything customers rely on. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Nepal. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

• Document APIs in OpenAPI and keep the docs current.
• Review code for correctness, performance and failure handling.
• Design and build REST and gRPC APIs in Go, Java or Python.
• Handle on-call for services the team owns and lead incident follow-ups.
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB.

Required qualifications

• 2+ years of backend development experience in a production environment.
• Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP or Azure services.
• Experience designing and versioning HTTP APIs.
• Comfort reading logs, metrics and traces to debug problems in production.

Pay and benefits

Start: Flexible.
