About the role

  • As a Staff Software Engineer, Backend (Affiliate Platform), you will design, build, and operate backend services and APIs that power our affiliate platform-including tracking & attribution, commission calculation/settlement, partner management, and anti-fraud controls.
  • You will own critical services end-to-end (design, implementation, testing, deployment, observability, and reliability) and contribute to adjacent backend platform capabilities as needed (e.g., identity/account, commerce/order/OTD integrations, and analytics instrumentation) across our robotics consumer journey.

Responsibilities

  • Build and evolve backend services for affiliate domains: event tracking & attribution, commission rules and settlement, partner onboarding/management, and anti-fraud/abuse controls.
  • Design and maintain clear, versioned REST/gRPC APIs and partner integration patterns (e.g., webhooks/callbacks), with strong backward compatibility and well-defined contracts.
  • Implement high-throughput event ingestion and durable workflows using datastores + caching + messaging/streaming, ensuring correctness, scalability, and debuggability.
  • OAuth2/OIDC concepts, secrets/KMS, automated testing (unit/integration), code reviews, and clear documentation (design docs, API contracts).

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or related discipline.
  • Strong proficiency in Java (Java 17+) and Spring Boot/Spring Cloud (or equivalent backend stack with ability to ramp quickly).
  • Production experience on cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS) with containers (Docker/Kubernetes) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CloudFormation).
  • Demonstrated ability to improve system performance and reliability in production (e.g., latency reduction, throughput increases, capacity planning, incident-driven hardening).

Nice to have

  • Direct experience with affiliate/partner platforms: attribution models, partner reporting, commission configuration, payout lifecycle, and dispute/reconciliation workflows.
  • Experience supporting adjacent platform services beyond affiliate (identity/account, commerce/order/OTD integrations, analytics/telemetry instrumentation).
  • Familiarity with observability/SRE tooling and practices (Prometheus/Grafana or Datadog/New Relic), on-call readiness, and incident postmortems.
  • Professional working proficiency in Mandarin Chinese and English for frequent collaboration with China-based partners/suppliers.
  • Casual dress code + relaxed work environment
  • Culturally diverse, progressive atmosphere

Compensation

  • 401(k) options
  • Casual dress code + relaxed work environment
  • Culturally diverse, progressive atmosphere
