Senior Backend Developer

Position: Senior Backend Developer

Location: Bangalore

️ Working Days: 5 (Mon-Fri)

Experience Required: 4-7 Years

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

At Our Client, backend powers everything from event discovery and ticket bookings to payments, notifications, and real-time user experiences. As they scale, they need systems that are fast, reliable, and built to handle high traffic.

They are looking for a backend engineer who enjoys solving distributed systems challenges, writing clean and scalable code, and taking ownership of critical services from design to production.

What You'll Actually Do Real responsibilities, not a wish list

Backend Development

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services using Golang.
• Develop APIs and microservices that power customer-facing products.
• Build secure, reliable, and high-performance systems for large-scale traffic.

Performance and Architecture

• Optimize application performance, database queries, and system reliability.
• Design scalable architectures and contribute to technical decisions.
• Troubleshoot production issues and improve system observability.

Collaboration and Ownership

• Work closely with Product, Frontend, DevOps, and QA teams to ship features.
• Participate in code reviews and mentor junior engineers.
• Drive engineering best practices around testing, documentation, and deployment.

What You Bring Specific experience, not vague credentials

Required

• 4 to 7 years of backend development experience, including 3 or more years with Golang.
• Strong understanding of REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
• Experience with relational and non-relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis.
• Familiarity with message queues such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar.
• Experience deploying and operating applications on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Strong understanding of system design, scalability, and performance optimization.
• Ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive complex backend projects.

Preferred

• Experience building high-scale consumer internet, fintech, marketplace, or ticketing platforms.
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with caching strategies, monitoring, and observability tooling.
• Genuine interest in live entertainment, events, or consumer technology.

NON-NEGOTIABLES

How we know this is the right fit

• You write code you would want to maintain two years later. Long-term scalability matters here. The systems you build now will carry the load of a much bigger product.
• You think about reliability from day one. A dropped payment or a missed notification is a broken fan experience. You design systems that handle failure gracefully.
• You take features all the way. From design to deployment, you own the outcome. Handoff culture does not work at this stage.
• You communicate clearly across teams. Frontend needs to understand your API contracts. Product needs to understand your constraints. You bridge that gap without friction.
• You thrive when priorities shift. Live entertainment does not follow a predictable roadmap. You adapt without losing momentum.
