About the role
What we're looking for
We're looking for a Backend Engineer with experience building and operating high-throughput, scalable backend systems. You should be comfortable building systems from 0 to 1, have strong, well-reasoned opinions on architectural decisions, and have a track record of ensuring system reliability and uptime. Bonus points if you have experience with end-to-end encryption, cryptography, or privacy-preserving systems.
What you'll do
- Design, build, and scale high-performance, fault-tolerant backend services.
- Take ownership of our large-scale, multi-tenant distributed systems, driving correctness and reliability.
- Work closely with mobile and frontend teams to own and maintain the client SDK, defining resilient API boundaries.
- Build durable and highly available data storage and caching layers using technologies like PostgreSQL, Redis, and NATS.
- Lead the development of core enterprise features like SSO, SCIM provisioning, and secure data import systems.
- Partner with security and infrastructure teams to harden production systems and support our threat model.
