As a key member you will contribute individually and support your team with a customer‑centric approach and a drive to own both product capabilities and technical components across the backend.

The Role

As a Staff Backend Engineer you will design and implement secure, scalable services in Kotlin using PostgreSQL, Dropwizard, and Kubernetes. Backend services are hosted in Microsoft Azure and delivered via RESTful Web Services, GraphQL or events (Event‑Carried State Transfer Pattern). You will balance your focus between supporting the team and contributing to broader company initiatives, proactively identifying where you can have the greatest impact. You will improve our architecture, automate testing and ensure high‑quality code through reviews and continuous improvement. Furthermore you will support your team members and demonstrate an ability to understand customer needs, business vision and decisions.

What you bring

• Proficiency with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred) and CI/CD.
• Experience building and operating scalable backend services.
• A will to use AI the right way.
• Strong spoken and written communication skills in English.

Additionally you fit just right if you like to

• Collaborate with Product Management & UI/UX team members as part of a customer‑focused team.
• Be guided by engineering values: they aren’t just some pretty word on a blog post. We live by them and challenge ourselves with them.
• Share knowledge and make people around you grow: could it be through active mentorship, pair programming, code reviews or knowledge sharing sessions?
• Be in the driver seat: this position requires proactivity and ownership.
• Frequently get out of your comfort zone: we grow at a fast pace and evolve frequently.
• Do it right the first time: we believe quality iterative development brings velocity, not the other way around.

Meet your team
