We are unable to sponsor new H-1B visa petitions for this position.Job Summary:We are seeking a Senior Backend Developer focused on high-throughput platform development to design, build, and operate the foundational platforms and shared services that other engineering teams rely on to deliver their products. This role focuses on building backend platform capabilities — request routing, traffic management, data fan-out, caching layers, asynchronous job execution, and durable event processing — that must handle very high traffic volumes with predictable latency and minimal operational toil. The ideal candidate combines deep distributed systems expertise with strong platform-engineering instincts, values internal developer experience as a first-class concern, and has a track record of leading multi-quarter platform initiatives that meaningfully raise the engineering bar for the organizations they support.Key ResponsibilitiesDesign and build internal platform services and shared infrastructure that hundreds of engineers depend on every day, with explicit focus on developer experience and operational ergonomicsArchitect high-throughput, latency-sensitive backend platforms capable of sustaining very high request volumes with predictable, well-bounded tail latencyBuild durable, replayable event-processing pipelines and asynchronous job execution platforms that other product teams compose to ship features fasterDesign and operate caching, rate-limiting, and request-shaping layers that protect upstream systems and enable safe scaling under bursty workloadsDevelop platform abstractions, SDKs, and paved-road libraries that codify best practices and let product teams consume capabilities without re-implementing themEstablish robust observability, SLOs, and capacity-planning practices for platform services, raising the operational bar across the organizationDrive multi-region, fault-tolerant, and geo-distributed designs with rigorous attention to availability, durability, and graceful degradation under failureLead incident response for high-impact platform issues, conduct blameless post-mortems, and drive durable engineering improvements that prevent recurrenceDefine and enforce platform-wide standards around API design, schema evolution, deployment, and backward-compatibility guaranteesOptimize platform performance through careful profiling, data-driven tuning, and algorithmic improvements that move the needle on throughput and costPartner with infrastructure, security, and SRE teams to ensure platform services meet enterprise reliability, compliance, and security obligationsMentor mid-level engineers and lead architectural discussions across teams, helping the broader organization grow in distributed-systems maturityProduce clear technical design documents, decision records, and operational runbooks that make the platform legible to future maintainersContinuously evaluate emerging platform technologies, open-source projects, and architectural patterns for strategic adoptionRequired QualificationsBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical disciplineSix or more years of professional backend or platform engineering experienceDemonstrated track record building and operating internal platforms or shared services consumed by multiple engineering teamsStrong, hands-on expertise designing distributed systems with rigorous attention to consistency, availability, latency, and failure-mode behaviorAdvanced proficiency in at least one major backend language such as Java, Go, Scala, Rust, or modern C++Deep understanding of high-throughput messaging, streaming, and event-driven architectures using technologies such as Kafka, Pulsar, or NATSStrong working knowledge of data storage systems across relational, key-value, document, and search workloadsProven experience leading multi-quarter platform initiatives across teams, including stakeholder management and technical decision-makingStrong written and verbal communication skills, including ability to author crisp technical design documents and present trade-offs clearlyDemonstrated ability to mentor engineers and shape engineering culture through code review, design review, and onboarding contributionsPreferred QualificationsExperience operating Kubernetes-based platforms or contributing to internal developer-platform initiatives at scaleContributions to widely-used open-source platform or infrastructure projectsFamiliarity with control-plane / data-plane patterns, service mesh internals, or workflow-orchestration enginesExperience designing platform APIs with strong backward-compatibility and versioning guaranteesPublic technical writing, conference talks, or other community contributions on platform engineering topicsHow To ApplyWould you like to know more about this opportunity?
