  • Design service architectures that support scalability, reliability, performance, and long-term maintainability.
  • Develop RESTful APIs, microservices, integrations, and backend components.
  • Write clean, reusable, testable, and production-ready code following established engineering practices.
  • Work with relational and NoSQL databases to design efficient data models and queries.
  • Implement appropriate caching, asynchronous processing, messaging, and distributed-system patterns where required.
  • Optimise application performance, resource utilisation, scalability, and system responsiveness.
  • Develop unit, integration, and automated tests to maintain backend quality and reliability.
  • Participate in architecture discussions, technical design reviews, and peer code reviews.
  • Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement sustainable fixes.
  • Collaborate with frontend, product, QA, DevOps, infrastructure, and other engineering teams.
  • Support CI/CD pipelines, deployments, monitoring, logging, and production-release activities.
  • Improve system observability through appropriate logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting.
  • Identify technical debt, architectural improvements, and opportunities for automation and engineering efficiency.
  • Contribute to documentation, coding standards, development processes, and backend engineering best practices.
  • Stay current with developments inย Python, Go, distributed systems, cloud-native technologies, and modern backend engineering.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • 4+ years of professional experienceย in backend software engineering or a closely related role.
  • Strong hands-on expertise inย Python and Go, with experience building production-grade backend systems.

  • Good understanding of concurrency, asynchronous processing, caching, messaging, and distributed-system concepts.
  • Strong knowledge of software testing, debugging, performance optimisation, and production troubleshooting.
  • Experience with Git and modern CI/CD development workflows.
  • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, observability, and infrastructure automation is an advantage.
  • Strong understanding of secure software development and API security practices.
  • Ability to independently own technical problems from design through implementation, deployment, and support.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to code quality and system reliability.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with technical and cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and contributing to evolving architecture and engineering practices.
