Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer focused on high-throughput platform development to design, build, andoperatethe foundational platforms and shared services that other engineering teams rely on to deliver their products. This role focuses on building backend platform capabilities — request routing, traffic management, data fan-out, caching layers, asynchronous job execution, and durable event processing — that must handlevery high traffic volumes with predictable latency and minimal operational toil.

The ideal candidate combines deep distributed systemsexpertisewith strong platform-engineering instincts, values internal developer experience as a first-class concern, and hasa track recordof leading multi-quarter platform initiatives that meaningfully raise the engineering bar for the organizations they support.

• Design and build internal platform services and shared infrastructure that hundreds of engineers depend on every day, with explicit focus on developer experience and operational ergonomics.
• Architect high-throughput, latency-sensitive backend platforms capable of sustainingvery highrequest volumes with predictable, well-bounded tail latency.
• Build durable,replayableevent-processing pipelines and asynchronous job execution platforms that other product teams compose to ship features faster.
• Design andoperatecaching, rate-limiting, and request-shaping layers that protect upstream systems and enable safe scaling under bursty workloads.
• Develop platform abstractions, SDKs, and paved-road libraries that codify best practices and let product teams consume capabilities without re-implementing them.
• Establish robust observability, SLOs, and capacity-planning practices for platform services, raising the operational bar across the organization.
• Drive multi-region, fault-tolerant, and geo-distributed designs with rigorous attention to availability, durability, and graceful degradation under failure.
• Lead incident response for high-impact platform issues, conduct blameless post-mortems, and drive durable engineering improvements that prevent recurrence.
• Define and enforce platform-wide standards around API design, schema evolution, deployment, and backward-compatibility guarantees.
• Optimizeplatform performance through careful profiling, data-driven tuning, and algorithmic improvements that move the needle on throughput and cost.
• Partner with infrastructure, security, and SRE teams to ensure platform services meet enterprise reliability, compliance, and security obligations.
• Mentor mid-level engineers and lead architectural discussions across teams, helping the broader organization grow in distributed-systems maturity.
• Produce clear technical design documents, decision records, and operational runbooks that make the platform legible to future maintainers.
• Continuously evaluate emerging platform technologies, open-source projects, and architectural patterns for strategic adoption.
• Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related…
