Summary

We are looking for a Back-End / Platform Software Engineer to join our growing engineering team. In this mid-level role, you will transition from executing defined tasks to taking ownership of feature components and service reliability. You will work closely with senior engineers to build and scale robust services using Go (GoLang) and GraphQL, while developing a strong Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) mindset to maintain system health and performance.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Feature Development: Develop and maintain high-performance backend services and APIs primarily using GoLang and GraphQL.
  • Performance Optimization: Implement and refine low-latency coding practices to ensure high-speed data processing and minimal response times.
  • Cloud Integration: Deploy and manage services within AWS, utilizing Lambda, Fargate, and DynamoDB.
  • Production Support: Participate in the full software development lifecycle, including on-call rotations and monitoring system performance (latency, availability).
  • CI/CD & Automation: Support and improve our Jenkins pipelines and automated deployment processes.
  • Collaborative Engineering: Work in a polyglot environment where Java is relevant, assisting with service integrations and code reviews.
  • Problem Solving: Identify and resolve technical debt and performance bottlenecks within the platform.

Required Qualifications:

  • Technical Proficiency: 2+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong focus on GoLang. Experience with Java is also highly relevant.
  • Latency-Critical Engineering: Proven ability to write efficient, concurrent code and tune applications for low-latency requirements.
  • API Experience: Practical experience building and consuming GraphQL APIs.
  • AWS Foundations: Hands-on experience with AWS services, specifically:

Compute: Implementing serverless functions (Lambda) and containerized apps (Fargate).

Database: Working with DynamoDB (basic schema design and querying).

  • DevOps Tools: Familiarity with Jenkins for CI/CD and a "you build it, you run it" approach to software.
  • SRE Awareness: Understanding of core SRE principles, such as SLIs/SLOs and observability.

Preferred Skills:

  • AWS Certification: Holding or working toward an AWS Associate-level certification.
  • Industry Context: Experience or interest in working with payment networks like Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
  • Hands-on AWS: Direct experience configuring cloud resources beyond just deploying code.
