Required Skills: Backend DevelopmentGitDatadogDistributed Systems

Have at least 5 years of software engineering experience, primarily in backend development or API systems.
Have at least 2 years designing and evolving APIs used by iOS, Android, and web clients, including API versioning and backward compatibility.
Have hands-on, daily experience building software with AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot agents, or similar tools.
Be able to explain how you prompt and constrain agents, test and review their output, and recognize their limitations.
Have experience building real-time features, including subscriptions, streaming, or push-based updates.
Have strong computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, distributed systems, and software design.
Be able to investigate and resolve production performance regressions involving CPU, I/O, memory, and latency, using techniques such as load testing and tracing.
Have experience participating in production on-call rotations and owning release cycles from start to finish.
Have experience with at least one server-side framework, such as Phoenix, Ruby on Rails, FastAPI, Laravel, or Node.js.
Be willing to learn native iOS and Android development using Swift or Kotlin; previous mobile development and shipping experience is beneficial but not required.
Have strong written communication skills and experience producing technical specifications, runbooks, and cross-team design documents.
Be comfortable using the terminal, Git, and GitHub or equivalent tools.

Design, build, scale, and optimize APIs and real-time delivery systems for web, iOS, and Android applications.
Manage API schemas as versioned contracts, classify breaking changes, coordinate migrations with mobile leads, and maintain consistency across client models.
Develop and operate backend services that remain fast, reliable, and correct under high-throughput and bursty traffic.
Identify production bottlenecks and performance risks, and implement scalability improvements.
Configure and improve monitoring, alerting, and distributed tracing with Datadog.
Contribute to native Android and iOS features in Kotlin or Swift when needed.
Own features end to end, from API design through user-facing implementation, making targeted changes across backend, mobile, and web codebases.
Collaborate with client engineers on APIs, caching behavior, and performance on unreliable network connections; diagnose client-server issues.
Write comprehensive tests for features and bug fixes, and use AI coding agents while reviewing generated code to maintain quality.
Prepare technical proposals, specifications, design documents, and operational runbooks; present them to leadership and partner teams, and mentor colleagues.
