Summary

About the Role

We are hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to bring deeper platform and scalability depth to our backend group.

This is a peer role alongside our existing backend engineers who already carry infrastructure scope — not a layer above them. They own services end to end, ship features, and run what they build in AWS. You will do the same. The difference is the depth you bring to the platform layer underneath all of it: the data stores, the messaging backbone, the analytics pipeline, and the capacity thinking that determines whether peak season is uneventful or not.

Concretely, you will be the engineer the team leans on when the question is “will this hold in December?” — and the one who turns that answer into architecture, load models, runbooks, and instrumentation rather than a hunch. You will also make that depth transferable: design docs others can review, patterns others can reuse, and dashboards others can read at 2am.

What You’ll Do

Design and build scalable APIs that serve a consumer platform with a highly seasonal traffic profile — owning the service contract, its performance characteristics, and its failure behavior.

Architect for peak. Model expected RPS and concurrency for the holiday season, size and shape systems against it, and validate through load and stress testing well ahead of November — while keeping the off-season footprint efficient.

Own the data layer as it evolves. Make deliberate choices between relational and non-relational stores, design schemas and access patterns that scale, and evolve them safely as features grow.

Build and scale asynchronous infrastructure. Message queues, event and bus architectures, and the decoupling that lets the platform shed load gracefully instead of failing loudly.

Deepen our analytics platform. Work with our OLAP/warehouse layer (Amazon Redshift) so product, growth, and marketing get reliable data as the underlying models change.

Deploy and operate services in AWS from scratch — provisioning, networking, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and the operational scaffolding that comes with a service being real.

Make the system observable. Meaningful metrics, structured logs, traces, SLOs, and alerts that fire on user-visible problems rather than on noise.

Take end-to-end ownership. From design through development, rollout, on-call, incident response, postmortems, and the unglamorous maintenance that makes operational excellence real rather than aspirational.

Write things down. Design docs, architecture decision records, runbooks, and API documentation that let a small team move fast without holding the system in one person’s head.

What We’re Looking For

Backend engineering depth

Substantial experience building backend services and scalable APIs in C#/.NET — or comparable depth in another backend ecosystem with a genuine willingness to work in ours.

A track record of services that stayed up and stayed fast as traffic and feature scope grew.

Data and messaging

In-depth working knowledge of relational databases: modeling, indexing, query performance, migrations under load, replication and read scaling.

Practical experience with non-relational stores, and clear judgment about when they are the right tool.

Real experience with message queues and bevent-driven architectures — delivery semantics, idempotency, ordering, retries, dead-letter handling, and backpressure.

Hands-on experience with an OLAP/warehouse layer; Amazon Redshift specifically is a strong plus — including how to evolve it as upstream models change without breaking downstream consumers.

Scalability, resiliency, and observability

Fluency with scalability principles: caching strategies, connection and resource pooling, horizontal scaling, partitioning, and the trade-offs between them.

Resiliency as a design habit — timeouts, retries with backoff, circuit breakers, graceful degradation, and blast-radius containment.

Observability treated as a first-class deliverable, not something bolted on during an incident.

Cloud and operations

Meaningful AWS experience, including standing up and deploying services from scratch rather than inheriting them.

Comfort owning production: on-call participation, incident response, and driving durable fixes out of postmortems.

How you work

You believe in documentation and produce it as part of the work, not after being asked.

You take end-to-end ownership — a feature is yours through maintenance, not through merge.

You design with peak traffic and RPS in mind by default, so systems hold during the holiday surge and stay economical the rest of the year.

You collaborate well on a small team where backend, frontend, and QA sit close together and everyone’s decisions are visible.

Nice to Have

Experience with consumer platforms that have pronounced seasonal or event-driven traffic spikes.

Load and stress testing practice — building the harness, not just reading the report.

Cost-aware architecture: right-sizing, autoscaling policy, and reserved/spot strategy in AWS.

Experience with high-volume transactional messaging or notification infrastructure (email, push).

Security-conscious design and familiarity with the operational side of consumer data protection.

How This Role Sits in the Team

Our backend engineers are generalists with infrastructure scope: they build features, own their services in AWS, and take their turn in the on-call rotation. This role is deliberately a peer to that — the same ownership, the same rotation, the same product work.

What we are adding is depth. When a feature needs a new queue topology, when Redshift models must change without breaking reporting, when a schema change has to ship under load, or when we need a real capacity plan for November instead of a guess, this is the engineer who leads that thinking and brings the rest of the team along. If you want scope that is technically deep and operationally real without leaving hands-on engineering, this is that role.
