Senior / Staff Backend Engineer

Staff Backend Engineer

 

 

What You’ll Do:

  • Design, build, and operate Java-based microservices running on AWS and EKS.
  • Own services end to end, from design through deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
  • Participate in a shared on-call rotation across the team.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers across multiple time zones and partner teams.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and help raise the technical bar on the team
  • Tech Stack:
    Java
    AWS, EKS (Kubernetes)
    Microservices architecture
    DynamoDB, SQS
    Splunk, DataDog

What We Are Looking For:

  • Senior or Staff level backend experience building production services in Java.
  • Strong hands-on experience with AWS and containerized workloads (EKS or equivalent).
  • Experience designing and operating microservices at scale.
  • Familiarity with DynamoDB, SQS, and observability tooling such as Splunk and DataDog.
  • Comfort owning production systems, including being part of an on-call rotation.
  • Strong written communication and the ability to work asynchronously across time zones.
  • Ownership mindset: someone who moves problems forward rather than waiting to be assigned
    work

Location and Working Hours:

  • Open to candidates in any location if the fit is right. The existing team spans PST, Brazil, Ireland,
    India, and Kazakhstan, so a wide range of time zones works.
  • Regular core working hours, with enough overlap with the broader team for collaboration.
  • Flexibility on working hours is expected and reciprocated. If a deployment requires early or late
    involvement, the engineer is free to flex their hours that day.
  • Occasional off-hours meetings tied to low-traffic deployment windows, only when the engineer’s
    own changes are being deployed. Not a recurring meeting
