Backend Engineer

Role Overview

We are looking for a Backend Engineer to build and operate production-grade distributed systems, focusing on declarative policy enforcement, streaming delta updates, and robust API design. You will be responsible for ensuring high availability, security, and scalability across a geographically distributed fleet.

Responsibilities

• Compile declarative policy into validated, versioned artifacts for data plane enforcement.
• Stream delta updates (xDS-style) to a large, distributed fleet with drift detection and idempotent reconciliation loops.
• Implement staged and canaried configuration with automatic rollback and deterministic revert capabilities.
• Develop spec-first OpenAPI 3.1 contracts with codegen, linting, and contract testing.
• Manage tenant-scoped RBAC/ABAC, hard isolation, and zero-downtime certificate rotation using mTLS and SPIFFE/SPIRE.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience building and operating production backend systems.
• Proficiency in systems languages like Go, Rust, Java, or C++.
• Deep experience in API design (REST/gRPC) including idempotency and backward compatibility.
• Hands-on experience with OpenAPI specification and spec-first modeling.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems fundamentals (consistency models, partial failure, retries).
• Experience with Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), Kubernetes, and containers.
• Proficiency with relational modeling in PostgreSQL and consensus-backed stores like etcd or Consul.
• Experience with OpenTelemetry, metrics, and structured logging.
