Backend Engineer (Technical Cluster)

RemoteSenior

Who we're looking for

We are looking for a hands-on, growth-oriented Senior Backend Engineer to strengthen our Technical (Foundation) Cluster - the team that builds, transforms and maintains the core services, shared libraries, and internal platforms that keep every product clusters (teams) moving fast and safely.

You will work side-by-side with other senior engineers, EMs, and tech-PMs to design robust architectures, evolve our infrastructure, and make sure engineering fundamentals stay rock-solid as we scale.

What you’ll do

  • Own key services and shared components in the cluster: design, develop, and operate them in production.

  • Shape architecture together with other senior engineers: break monoliths into well-bounded modules, improve scalability and performance, and keep technical debt under control.

  • Raise the bar on code quality and reliability through thoughtful design reviews and well-reasoned refactoring.

  • Drive foundational improvements (observability, CI/CD, testing frameworks, security hardening) that make every team faster.

  • Collaborate closely with PdM, Staff Engineers and CTO to translate business vision into required technical foundation and realistic milestones.

  • Share knowledge: mentor mid-level developers, document best practices, and present learnings at internal tech talks.

  • Contribute to hiring and onboarding by taking part in interviews and helping newcomers land smoothly.

Our stack

  • Backend: Ruby on Rails 7+, PostgreSQL

  • Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS

  • CI/CD & VCS: Jenkins, GitLab, Bitbucket

About you

  • 5–8 years of professional backend development experience.

  • Deep appreciation of how rock-solid foundations accelerate every product team - and the drive to deliver them.

  • Proven track record of designing and shipping production systems that serve thousands of users.

  • Solid understanding of distributed system fundamentals: data modelling, caching, queues, monitoring, and failure scenarios.

  • Comfortable owning features end-to-end — from RFC to production roll-out and post-mortem.

  • Clear communicator who can explain trade-offs, listen to feedback, and build consensus.

  • Passion for clean, readable code and a pragmatic approach to technical excellence

Why you’ll like it here

  • Impact at scale: your work reshapes the engineering landscape for dozens of squads and millions of users.

  • Strong engineering culture: autonomy, psychological safety, and a bias for action.

  • Growth path: mentorship from Staff and Principal Engineers who’ll support your own move toward Staff level.

  • Modern tooling & cloud-native mindset: Kubernetes, IaC, and continuous delivery are the norm, not the exception.

  • People-centric benefits: flexible hours, remote-first processes, and a learning budget you control.

Ready to build the foundations that everyone else stands on?

Apply now and let’s architect the future together.
