Senior Backend

As a Senior Backend engineer, you will join client-facing engineering work focused on strengthening the reliability of a production platform. The day-to-day is hands-on backend problem solving where you investigate how services communicate, identify failure modes, and make targeted improvements that reduce disruption and improve overall resilience.

You will take ownership of diagnosing intermittent issues that show up under real operating conditions, then translate findings into practical changes. That can include reviewing message-driven workflows, improving retry and recovery behavior, and ensuring that connectivity problems are handled predictably. The work favors engineers who can move from symptoms to root cause, communicate clearly about risk and tradeoffs, and deliver improvements that are measurable.

This role suits someone who enjoys deep debugging, careful reasoning about distributed behavior, and making systems more dependable without overcomplicating them. You will collaborate with other engineers as needed, but you will be expected to drive the investigation and implementation work independently, keeping changes safe and production-minded.
