About the role

  • This isn't a maintenance role - you're coming in to help us scale.
  • You'll work closely with engineers who care deeply about craft, move fast, and aren't afraid to make hard calls.
  • If you've built systems that handle serious consumer or commercial load - cloud migrations, microservice transitions, distributed data pipelines, event-driven architecture - this is the role for you.

Responsibilities

  • Design and scale distributed backend systems handling high-throughput, real-time data across a complex dependency graph
  • Own performance profiling and debugging across our Go and Rust services - identify bottlenecks and ship fixes
  • Build and evolve gRPC service interfaces and REST/JSON APIs consumed across internal and external surfaces
  • Work across SQL and NoSQL data stores - schema design, query optimization, and durability patterns
  • Drive infrastructure decisions in collaboration with platform engineers and technical leads

Requirements

  • You have strong opinions, but you hold them lightly - you can articulate your reasoning, hear a counterpoint, and update.
  • As such, US person status (including US citizens, U.S. permanent residents, individuals granted U.S. asylum status, or individuals admitted in U.S. refugee status) is a required qualification for this position.
  • Strong debugging instincts - you can read a flame graph, find a bottleneck, and ship a fix; experience with load testing or chaos engineering is a nice addition

Skills

  • Our stack includes gRPC, REST/JSON, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, NoSQL stores, and Kubernetes-managed infrastructure.
  • Here's the kind of background that sets you up well:
  • 2-5+ years of backend engineering experience, with a focus on distributed or high-availability systems
  • Production experience in Go; Python for tooling or data workflows
  • Experience with both SQL (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL data stores in production
  • Kubernetes in real environments - deployment, scaling, resource management, debugging
  • A track record on complex system work: monolith-to-microservice transitions, cloud migrations, data pipelines, or consumer-scale workloads
  • Background in ecommerce, fintech, or other consumer-scale SaaS is helpful but not required

Compensation

  • $110k-$145k

Benefits

  • Familiarity with gRPC and REST/JSON API design at scale - bonus points for experience with gRPC design patterns, binary serialization, or API gateway-layer GraphQL
