Senior Backend Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Backend Engineer to design and build high-performance, low-latency backend systems. This role focuses on distributed architecture, system reliability, and production excellence in a regulated environment.

Key Responsibilities

Build and scale backend systems
Design, develop, and maintain scalable, high-performance backend services using performance-oriented languages such as C/C++, Go, Rust, or Java.

Optimize performance and reliability
Continuously profile, benchmark, and optimize systems with a focus on latency, throughput, memory efficiency, and correctness in production environments.

Design distributed architectures
Develop and operate resilient, scalable distributed systems, including APIs, data pipelines, and event-driven services leveraging messaging/streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka, Pulsar, RabbitMQ).

Ensure system reliability and operational excellence
Strengthen system security, availability, and scalability in line with regulatory and enterprise standards. Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement of system resilience.

Cross-functional collaboration
Work closely with product, infrastructure, and data teams to ensure seamless integration across the broader platform.

Maintain engineering excellence
