Software Engineer, Backend - Core/API & Process Automation

About the role

What You’ll Be Doing

Must Haves

• Ability and/or willingness to use our product
• 2+ years professional backend engineering experience.
• Solid grasp of event-driven systems and genuine eagerness to go deep on event sourcing / distributed systems — including a working understanding of consistency, ordering, and failure basics.
• Good API design instincts (REST) — clean, sensible contracts, with awareness of backward compatibility.
• Product thinking — you care about the outcome for users, not just the ticket.
• Strong "manager of one" — own your work and drive it forward without day-to-day management, manage your own time and focus in a remote/async setting, communicate progress and raise blockers early (self-directed, but knows when to ask for help), and reliably follow through on what you commit to.
• High growth drive — genuinely ambitious to level up, and actively takes on unfamiliar, uncomfortable challenges rather than staying in the comfort zone.
• Clear written communication in a remote-first, async setting.
