- Proactively identify optimization opportunities across our technical stack.
- Ship measurable improvements weekly that drive business outcomes.

- 7+ years of experience in backend or full-stack engineering roles.
- Strong expertise in backend development with experience in modern frameworks and languages (e.g., Node.js, Python, Java, Go).
- Proficiency in designing and consuming APIs, microservices architecture, and cloud-based infrastructure.
- Solid understanding of frontend technologies and how they interact with backend systems.
- Experience with relational and NoSQL databases, performance tuning, and scaling.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
- Strong problem-solving skills, product mindset, and ability to work independently.
Key Metrics
- Weekly delivery of features or optimizations with measurable impact on business metrics.
- Reduction in system latency, downtime, and resource utilization.
- Positive stakeholder feedback on feature quality, performance, and delivery speed.
- Increased efficiency and scalability of backend systems.
