Software Developer — Backend - US

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and sustain high-performance, scalable backend services using Go microservices and modern cloud-native tooling.
• Lead architectural modernization and modularization to improve scalability, observability, and developer velocity.
• Define and own the entire lifecycle of your systems: API design, data modeling, deployment (CI/CD), live-traffic monitoring, integration and load testing, telemetry & data analysis, experiment design (A/B tests), and continuous iteration.
• Influence and evolve our architecture: propose and lead initiatives to decompose monoliths, migrate legacy code, build shared frameworks and reusable service components; evaluate new backend technologies and lead their adoption.
• Apply AI-driven tools and automation frameworks to speed up development, code analysis, testing, and reliability.
• Leverage intelligent telemetry, analytics, and optimization pipelines to improve service performance and resilience.
• Define observability standards, telemetry pipelines, and fault-tolerance strategies for production-grade distributed systems.
• Partner closely with product, mobile, and data teams to deliver seamless, high-quality experiences across all platforms.
• Drive technical discussions, mentor developers, and influence strategic direction across backend and infrastructure domains.

Who You Are

• A technical leader with the ability to create and lead roadmaps/initiatives that align to high-level business objectives.
• Deep expertise in Go, with additional experience in PHP for legacy systems is a bonus.
• Proven track record of architecting modular, maintainable, and high-performance microservices.
• Strong background in system design, observability, and performance optimization.
• Experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Argo CD, Protobuf, CI/CD pipelines, and auto-scaling architectures.
• Experience using AI and automation to improve developer velocity, reliability, or system intelligence.
• A collaborative technical leader who thrives in fast-moving environments and mentors others to excel.
• Passionate about building resilient, intelligent, and highly scalable backend systems that serve millions of users.
• You architect for observability, reliability, and production-readiness: you understand instrumentation, SLOs/SLIs, fault-tolerance, runbooks, incident triage, scalable telemetry pipelines, and production diagnostics for backend systems.
• You have been a technical leader (not just an individual contributor): you’ve influenced roadmap decisions, contributed to multi-team initiatives, mentored/led developers, driven culture/process improvements, and interfaced with senior developer/product leadership.
