Requirements

• 7+ years of professional back-end engineering experience, ideally in high-scale, production environments.

• Deep understanding of service communication patterns and protocols, especially GraphQL and gRPC.
• Strong experience designing and building scalable APIs and backend services in distributed systems.
• Solid knowledge of relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, query optimization, transactional behavior).
• Strong cloud experience, preferably AWS, including real-world use of managed services and production-grade deployments.
• Nice to have: practical familiarity with Kubernetes and containerized environments, with the expectation that you understand Kubernetes first as a user/operator (deploying, debugging, observing services) rather than only theory.
• Experience with Micronaut (preferred) or Quarkus, or a clear understanding of how Micronaut/Quarkus differ from Spring Boot and why those differences matter in production (startup time, memory footprint, AOT/DI approach, etc.).
• Nice to have: Redis experience (caching, queues, rate limiting, etc.).
• Plus: experience with telemetry and observability standards such as OpenTelemetry.
• Proficiency in written and spoken English, suitable for success in a remote and largely asynchronous work environment.

Benefits

• Competitive base compensation.
• Bonus program.
• Paid Time Off and Work From Home.
• A fun, creative and energetic work environment.
