Senior Java Backend Engineer

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable backend services and APIs. Your role will involve building and optimizing distributed systems with a focus on performance, reliability, and scalability. Collaboration with cross-functional teams such as Frontend, Product, and DevOps is essential to deliver end-to-end features. You will be expected to design efficient SQL schemas, indexes, and optimize queries for performance. Conducting code reviews, improving engineering standards, and practices will be part of your responsibilities. Ownership of features across their lifecycle from design to deployment and monitoring is crucial. Ensuring best practices in testing, including unit and functional testing, and troubleshooting and resolving complex LIVE production issues are also key responsibilities. Key Responsibilities: - Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs. - Build and optimize distributed systems focusing on performance, reliability, and scalability. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end features. - Design efficient SQL schemas, indexes, and optimize queries for performance. - Conduct code reviews and improve engineering standards and practices. - Own features across the lifecycle: design implementation deployment monitoring. - Ensure best practices in testing, including unit and functional testing. - Troubleshoot and resolve complex LIVE production issues. Qualifications Required: - 5+ years of professional backend software development experience. - Strong proficiency in at least one backend language: Java / Go / Rust. - Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs. - Strong understanding of system design, scalability, distributed systems, and high-performance architectures. - Hands-on experience with SQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL): schema design, indexing, query optimization. - Experience with microservices and event-driven architectures. - Clear understanding of version control (Git). - Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a focus on performance. - Ability to troubleshoot production issues under pressure. - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field. - Strong CS fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, concurrency, network basics). Additionally, it is nice to have experience in Golang for teams planning to migrate or build services in Go, as well as knowledge of monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack.
