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.

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.
