Backend Engineer

About the role

Join our team as a Backend Engineer building an Enterprise Tech platform. You will be part of a talented team that works on impactful enterprise-level applications. Backend Engineer roles and responsibilities include contributing to server-side application development, while providing expertise in the full software development lifecycle, from data modeling and API design to testing and deployment.

Key responsibilities

• Produce fully functional programs writing clean, testable code — and be able to walk through the trade-offs and reasoning behind how you built it
• Plan and design backend solutions (data models, APIs, integrations), weigh trade-offs such as cost, complexity, reliability, and scale, and write down the reasoning behind your choices
• Use AI tools to speed up parts of your workflow, and review AI-generated or teammates' code critically before it ships
• Diagnose bugs and bottlenecks in existing systems, not just patch symptoms
• Build and maintain backend services and RESTful APIs
• Understand the product and the client's business behind each task, and speak up when a requirement doesn't make sense for users
• Proactively communicate with the counterpart and internal team about project requirements, coordination, and task progression

Minimum requirements

• Solid backend fundamentals (databases and SQL, REST API design, authentication basics) in at least one of JavaScript, Ruby, or Python

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience

• Grit to learn and adapt: Problem-solving and resourcefulness — able to figure things out and adjust your approach when the default one doesn't fit

• Humility to accept and give constructive, critical feedback, and follow through on it

• Proficient verbal and written English

• Strong working knowledge of Git — you use it to organize and document your own work

• Experience using AI coding tools, with the transparency and accountability to own what you ship regardless of AI's role in producing it

• Curiosity about the product and the client's business behind your tasks

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with Ruby on Rails / Node.js / NestJS
• Experience with testing, background jobs, or deployment
• Comfortable with UNIX/Linux environment
• Knowledge of MVC architecture and OO design patterns
• Hands-on experience developing and launching software applications
• Amazing portfolio of impactful work
