Senior Software Engineer - Backend

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Software Engineer to join our growing engineering team. This role offers an exciting opportunity to design and build scalable, production grade backend systems that power mission‑critical applications within the broadcast and media technology domain.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will combine strong software engineering fundamentals with modern AI‑assisted development practices. You will work on the evertz.io microservices and backend platform, building systems designed to handle concurrency, timing, and data consistency at scale.

Key Qualification Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience in a strongly typed language; Java preferred (Python, Rust, Go, C++, or C# also considered)

• Strong experience with Java, Spring Boot, and scalable backend development

• Proficient in using AI coding tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot) and validating AI‑generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability

• Expertise in AWS, cloud‑native applications, and microservices architecture

• Hands‑on experience with Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS, and serverless technologies

• Familiarity with prompt engineering and MCP servers

• Strong knowledge of concurrency, data structures, design patterns, and OOP

• Experience building distributed systems, real‑time processing platforms, or other large‑scale backend services

• Proven skills in production debugging, monitoring, and incident investigation

• Comfortable contributing to large, complex codebases

Additional Skills That Will Be Useful

• Java ecosystem: Java frameworks, Gradle, JUnit, Mockito

• Familiarity with CI/CD tools and workflows such as Jenkins, Git, and CodePipeline

• Prior experience in broadcast, media, or real‑time systems

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop backend microservices for the evertz.io SaaS platform

• Design and deliver new features on the Mediator enterprise product — working across a large, mature Java codebase with full ownership from scoping to production

• Investigate and resolve complex production issues in Mediator — tracing distributed failures, analysing logs, profiling performance bottlenecks, and leading post‑incident investigations

• Participate in architecture and technical design discussions with product owners, engineering leads, and stakeholders

• Take features from requirement scoping through to production launch

• Write high‑quality, well‑tested, maintainable code
