We are looking for backend engineers who think deeply about scalability, resilience, and real-world system architecture.
The ideal candidate understands how to build reliable production systems, manage distributed complexity, and take full technical ownership from design to deployment.
This role is NOT focused on basic CRUD development or API maintenance only.
We are specifically looking for engineers with real experience building scalable distributed backend systems in production environments.
- Opportunity to build high-impact backend infrastructure
- High technical ownership and architectural influence
- Real scalability and distributed systems challenges
- Highly technical and collaborative environment
- Fast-moving and innovation-driven team
