Job Description
About the Role
We are looking for a Staff Backend Platform Engineer with deep expertise in distributed systems, microservices architecture, and cloud-native backend engineering.
Key Responsibilities
System Architecture & Scalability
• Design & Build: Architect and develop scalable, fault-tolerant backend systems
• Microservices Development: Implement microservices using Go, Java, or Python, ensuring high availability and resilience.
• Cloud & Kubernetes: Deploy and manage applications on AWS, GCP, or Azure with Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS).
• Event-Driven Architectures: Work with Kafka, Pulsar, RabbitMQ for distributed messaging and streaming workloads.
Operational Excellence & Incident Management
• Reliability & Resilience: Implement best practices for graceful degradation, retries, circuit breakers, and auto-scaling.
• Incident Response & On-Call Management: Define SLAs/SLIs/SLOs, set up robust alerting & escalation processes for incident handling.
• Postmortems & RCA (Root Cause Analysis): Lead post-incident analysis, drive corrective actions, and improve system reliability.
• Observability & Monitoring: Define and implement logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing using Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Datadog.
Performance Optimization & Security
• Performance Tuning: Diagnose and optimize latency, throughput, and memory utilization for large-scale distributed systems.
• Multithreading & Concurrency: Design and implement highly concurrent, multithreaded backend services for parallel processing.
• Database & Storage Optimization: Improve performance of SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (Cassandra, DynamoDB, Redis, MongoDB) solutions.
• Security & Compliance: Implement API security, authentication, authorization, and ensure compliance with SOC2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS.
Leadership & Collaboration
• Mentorship & Code Reviews: Guide engineers in best practices for platform engineering, microservices, and distributed systems.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work with cloud engineering, security, and product engineering teams to align platform capabilities with business needs.
Key Qualifications
• 10+ years of experience in backend platform engineering, distributed systems, and microservices.
• Strong programming expertise in Go, Java, or Python, with a focus on multithreading and concurrency.
• Expertise in Kubernetes, service meshes (Istio, Linkerd), and cloud infrastructure.
• Deep understanding of gRPC, REST APIs, GraphQL, and API performance tuning.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD and infrastructure automation (Terraform, Pulumi).
• Proven ability to manage production incidents and other operatonal excellence practices.
• Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills in complex, distributed environments.
