Senior Backend Engineer

About us:

Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software. Built in Scottsdale, our document management tool is used by county clerks, title companies and small law offices.

The role:

This is a backfill for a team member who moved to another team. The Data Platform team owns services that process several million requests a day. We need another engineer who is comfortable owning them in production. Scottsdale Software is hiring for the Senior Backend Engineer position to build and run the APIs and services behind our web and mobile apps. Our headquarters is in Scottsdale, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Germany, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT.

What you'll work on:

Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS. Secure endpoints with OAuth 2.0, JWT validation and proper input checks. Review code for correctness, performance and failure handling. Document APIs in OpenAPI and keep the docs current.

What you bring:

Experience designing and versioning HTTP APIs. Comfort reading logs, metrics and traces to debug problems in production. Proficiency in at least one of Go, Java, Kotlin, Python, C# or Node.js.

Benefits:

Pay: €97,000-€127,000 per year

Annual team retreat. Company laptop. Health insurance through our employer-of-record partner. 24 days paid time off. Paid parental leave. Wellness allowance. Co-working space stipend.

Start: Immediately.
