Backend Engineer – SDE 2

Key Responsibilities

• Own large features end-to-end — from design, development, testing, to deployment.

• Design for reliability and scale — write clean, efficient, and modular code with clear contracts.

• Deliver with accountability — plan, prioritise, and deliver features with minimal supervision.

• Solve real problems — debug complex issues across systems, not just within your codebase.

• Build securely — follow best practices around authentication, data integrity, and access control.

• Monitor & optimise — own your service dashboards, alerts, and performance metrics.

• Collaborate with peers — work closely with product managers, frontend, and infra engineers.

• Contribute to reviews & standards — ensure quality through thoughtful code reviews and test coverage.

Requirements

• Strong proficiency in Go or similar backend languages like Python with Fast API or even JAVA with Springboot .

• Experience designing RESTful APIs, working with AWS/ GCP, and using PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, or SQS.

• Hands-on experience with microservices, CI/CD pipelines, and containerised environments (Docker/K8s).

• A solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and system design fundamentals.

• Comfort owning features, defining interfaces, and solving ambiguous problems end-to-end.

• A strong sense of code quality, observability, and operational ownership.

• Comfortable working in high-growth, fast-moving environments where scale and priorities evolve quickly.
