Backend Developer - SDE 1

About the role

Were looking for a backend developer to join our early engineering team and drive our product development. If youre someone who thrives on high ownership, can figure stuff out on your own and wants to be part of the zero-to-one journey, this might be for you.

What youll do

Tl;dr, were at 100k requests per day, youll take us to 10M requests per day.

As were still early at building a dedicated backend team, responsibilities will have breadth over a lot of cool stuff

Looking out for cool new technologies and implementing them for required internal as well as business use cases

Designing scalable architectures for backend systems

Optimising performance of applications for full scale production deployments

Implementing business logic and developing APIs and services.

Conceptualising and implementing scalable databases across various services

Youll be hiring and mentoring junior developers

What makes you a good fit

If you can write code that works, we should be good but read on (disclaimer: most of what follows is not a hard requirement);

You have 1-3 years of experience building and scaling backend systems from scratch;

You've built server-less backend architectures using AWS platforms and resources like Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, etc. (Brownie points if youve worked with NodeJS, Redis and PostgreSQL);

You have managed deployment at scale using CI/CD integrations and implemented error management systems like Sentry;

Most of the above is us trying to sound legit about our stack, so if youve not worked with some of it & are open to learning or have better ideas, its totally cool;

Be ready to jam to this every time we push to prod - ;
