We are looking for an experienced Backend Engineer to work on technical efforts across various user-facing features such as Feeds, Posting, Commenting, Media, Profiles, and Business/Publisher platforms. This role requires expertise in building backend systems at scale. You'll build services, work alongside ML models, drive architecture decisions, and primarily write production-quality code while collaborating with engineers, MLEs, and PMs across multiple teams.

In your day-to-day, you can expect to:

  • Work on key technical and design decisions across all areas mentioned above.
  • Abstract monolithic systems into clean, isolated services to decouple product and infrastructure layers.
  • Develop data pipelines for feature population for ML models and help productionalize them.
  • Maintain high standards of quality.

What Sets You Apart:

  • Experience with a social platform or consumer-focused company, writing code for backend systems at scale.
  • Strong understanding of the intersection of Backend with AI/ML on user-facing products.
  • Ability to dive into codebases and make high-level architectural decisions.

Who You Might Be:

    • 7+ years of industry experience in large-scale distributed systems.
    • 7+ years of hands-on, professional software development experience in one or more general-purpose programming languages (Go, Python, Ruby, Java, C++).
    • Proficient in GraphQL, REST, HTTP, Thrift basics, and capable of designing and implementing maintainable APIs.
    • Experienced with distributed caching layers and large-scale data storage systems like Cassandra.
    • Proven track record of developing and improving highly scalable and reliable serving systems.
    • Entrepreneurial spirit with a self-directed, innovative, and action-oriented approach in fast-paced environments.

TECHNICAL SKILLS

  • Cloud Infrastructure
  • Data Migration Projects
  • Go (Golang)
  • gRPC Remote Procedure Calls
  • PostgreSQL

The project involves understanding existing schemas, collaborating with platform teams, writing a batch job to migrate data between PostgreSQL databases, and updating a gRPC service in Go. You will work with the existing engineering team and contribute to the direction of the project and team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and implement solutions.
  • Create and maintain APIs, rSpec testing suite, and middleware to facilitate data flow between systems.
  • Perform system analysis, troubleshooting, and debugging to identify and resolve integration issues.
  • Ensure compliance with security protocols and data privacy regulations during integration processes.
  • Troubleshoot and optimize application performance to provide an optimal experience.
  • Design maintainable database schemas and easy-to-understand data structures.
  • Develop technical solutions with minimal direction or guidance.
  • Engage in the team's organizational processes, such as planning, backlog refinement, and sprint reviews, to ensure effective collaboration and feedback.
  • Collaborate with product managers and designers to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
  • Proactively identify and address potential technical issues and bottlenecks.

Thanks & Rgds
