This company is seeking a Senior Backend Developer who prefers a highly practical engineering role and remains closely involved with production code. The successful candidate will work on backend services supporting a real-time, high-volume platform where speed, resilience, and accuracy are essential.

The position is suited to a product-minded engineer who takes ownership, enjoys solving difficult technical problems, and can make a measurable impact on systems operating at scale. It is primarily an individual contributor role rather than a coordination-focused position.

Main Responsibilities:

• Develop and deliver backend features within a cross-functional product team.
• Write reliable, production-ready code for distributed, high-load systems.
• Improve latency, scalability, availability, and overall system efficiency.
• Take ownership of transaction-processing services where accuracy is critical.
• Contribute to architecture decisions, code reviews, testing, and engineering standards.
• Resolve complex technical and business challenges with practical solutions.
• Join the team’s on-call rotation.
• Work with engineering, product, and other stakeholders on platform improvements.

Desired experience:

• Strong backend development experience with Node.js and TypeScript is preferred.
• Senior-level experience with Java, Python, C++, C#, Go, or another object-oriented language may also be considered.
• Strong knowledge of asynchronous and event-driven programming techniques.
• Practical experience with distributed systems and communication or messaging tools such as Apache Kafka and gRPC.
• Experience working with relational databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
• Familiarity with column-oriented platforms such as ClickHouse and NoSQL databases such as DynamoDB or MongoDB.
• Ability to create and maintain effective unit and end-to-end test coverage.
• A proven history of delivering stable, production-ready software.
• A Computer Science degree or a qualification in a related technical field.
