You will have access to training resources and developer conferences to keep your technical stack sharp.
**Key Responsibilities:**
* **Backend Architecture:** Design, maintain, and scale our core server\-side services and database schemas to ensure peak system performance. * **End\-to\-End API Design:** Lead the process from data modeling and logic development to API deployment, security, and integration handoff. * **Technical Quality:** Conduct rigorous code reviews, mentor junior developers, and enforce clean coding practices across the codebase. * **Performance Tuning:** Don't let bottlenecks linger. Proactively monitor, debug, and optimize database queries and server efficiency. * **Cross\-Functional Support:** Present technical ideas to stakeholders and translate business needs into scalable technical specifications.
**What We Are Looking For:**
* **Experience:** 4\+ years in Backend Software Engineering with demonstrated hands\-on experience building scalable web applications or APIs. * **Track Record:** A strong track record of shipping clean code and maintainable backend architecture into production. * **Tooling:** Proficiency in modern backend languages (Python, Node.js, Java, or C\#), SQL/NoSQL databases, and Git version control. * **Communication:** Clear verbal and written English communication skills to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams. * **Mindset:** Pragmatic and systematic. You know how to balance long\-term system maintainability with short\-term feature delivery.
