  • Build and manage services leveraging AWS cloud infrastructure.
  • Develop resilient messaging pipelines using Kafka (or equivalent) for real-time data processing.
  • Define and streamline CI/CD pipelines, ensuring rapid and reliable deployment cycles.
  • Collaborate with product managers, frontend engineers, and DevOps to deliver end-to-end solutions.
  • Monitor system performance, identify bottlenecks, and apply proactive fixes.
  • Drive best practices in software engineering, testing, and code reviews.

Requirements
  • 5+ years of experience in backend engineering, with deep hands-on coding experience.
  • Strong proficiency in Java and familiarity with modern frameworks.
  • Proven track record in building scalable distributed systems.
  • Hands-on expertise with AWS services (e.g., EC2, S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS).
  • Solid understanding of messaging systems like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar.
  • Strong grasp of query performance optimization and storage system design.
  • Experience with caching solutions (Redis, Memcached, etc.).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.).
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in fast-paced environments.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a proactive mindset.

Benefits
  • Best in class salary: We hire only the best, and we pay accordingly.
  • Proximity Talks: Meet other designers, engineers, and product geeks — and learn from experts in the field.
  • Keep on learning with a world-class team: Work with the best in the field, challenge yourself constantly, and learn something new every day.
