Backend Engineer – SDE 2

Key Responsibilities

Own large features end-to-end — from design, development, testing, to deployment. Design for reliability and scale — write clean, efficient, and modular code with clear contracts. Deliver with accountability — plan, prioritise, and deliver features with minimal supervision. Solve real problems — debug complex issues across systems, not just within your codebase.

Build securely — follow best practices around authentication, data integrity, and access control. Monitor & optimise — own your service dashboards, alerts, and performance metrics. Collaborate with peers — work closely with product managers, frontend, and infra engineers. Contribute to reviews & standards — ensure quality through thoughtful code reviews and test coverage.

Requirements

Strong proficiency in Go or similar backend languages like Python with Fast API or even JAVA with Springboot . Experience designing RESTful APIs, working with AWS/ GCP, and using PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, or SQS. Hands-on experience with microservices, CI/CD pipelines, and containerised environments (Docker/K8s). A solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and system design fundamentals.

Comfort owning features, defining interfaces, and solving ambiguous problems end-to-end. A strong sense of code quality, observability, and operational ownership. Comfortable working in high-growth, fast-moving environments where scale and priorities evolve quickly.
