About the Role

We are looking for highly skilled Backend Engineers (Java) who can design, develop, and own SaaS products that handle large-scale, real-time data problems. This role involves building scalable systems, high-throughput data pipelines, and cloud-native services, while also shaping the long-term platform strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and own SaaS products that solve large-scale, real-time data problems.
• Build highly scalable systems capable of processing massive volumes of IoT and event-driven data.
• Translate product requirements into actionable, technical deliverables.
• Develop efficient, cloud-hosted services and robust data pipelines.
• Own architecture and implementation of critical cloud platform components: multi-region infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and deployment systems.
• Lead initiatives around modular codebases, SDKs, and shared templates to improve developer velocity.
• Design and implement high-throughput streaming systems (e.g., Kafka, Flink) for real-time analytics and alerting.
• Drive cost optimization, scaling policies, and capacity planning across compute, GPU, and storage layers.
• Mentor team members, promote engineering best practices, and contribute hands-on to high-impact projects.

Essential Skills

• Strong programming expertise in Java and Spring Boot.
• Solid foundation in computer science fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, OOP, SQL.
• Strong understanding of database internals and schema design for RDBMS and NoSQL.
• Proven experience designing low-latency APIs for large datasets.
• Expertise in building scalable data processing pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with AWS and cloud-hosted environments.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with Agile methodologies and product development practices.
• Ability to mentor and guide teams towards high-quality software delivery.
• Nice to Have
• Experience with GenAI tools or LLM-based developer workflows (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor).
• Experience in designing systems for transitioning from single-product architecture to multi-product ecosystems.
• Strong system design thinking and ability to navigate large, distributed codebases.
• Experience with cost optimization and cloud-native scaling strategies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 3+ years of hands-on backend development experience.
