We're looking for a Backend Engineer to join our team. This is a remote role. This hire will help us split a large monolith into a handful of well-defined services without breaking anything customers rely on. We want someone who writes boring, reliable code and leaves good logs behind. We are headquartered in Brisbane and have been hiring remotely since 2020. We hire in India through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. Core hours overlap with Sydney business hours until mid-afternoon.

Job duties:

• Review code for correctness, performance and failure handling.
• Document APIs in OpenAPI and keep the docs current.
• Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers.
• Design and build REST and gRPC APIs in Go, Java or Python.
• Tune slow queries, add indexes and read query plans.
• Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS.

About you:

• 2-4 years of backend development experience in a production environment.
• Clear written communication, including design docs.
• Experience designing and versioning HTTP APIs.

Preferred:

• Prior work breaking up a monolith.

Why work with us:

Salary range: ₹29,00,000 - ₹34,00,000 per annum

• Two weeks of paid leave at year end.
• Health insurance through our employer-of-record partner.
• Annual salary review.
• Annual team retreat.
• Monthly internet allowance.

We will only contact shortlisted applicants.
