We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Backend SDE-2 Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will be instrumental in designing, developing, and maintaining robust and scalable backend systems that power our innovative products. You will have the opportunity to work on challenging problems, contribute to architectural decisions, and mentor junior engineers, all while focusing on delivering exceptional user experiences.

Design And Development

The core responsibilities for the job include the following:

  • Lead the design and development of highly scalable, available, and fault-tolerant API-based applications, keeping platform reusability in mind.
  • Translate complex business problem statements into technical solutions, leveraging your expertise in backend system design.
  • Actively participate in creating High-Level Designs (HLD) and Low-Level Designs (LLDs) for software development, ensuring alignment with architectural best practices.
  • Select appropriate frameworks, libraries, and network stacks based on data-driven decision-making to optimize performance and efficiency.

Technical Excellence And Ownership

  • Write clean, modular, well-documented, and reusable code with a strong emphasis on good hygiene (naming, structure, etc. ).
  • Conduct performance tuning and implement improvements in large-scale distributed systems.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of product delivery, ensuring high scalability and reliability.
  • Proactively identify and resolve bugs and production issues with a sense of urgency, actively participating in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) exercises.

Collaboration And Mentorship

  • Break down larger or ambiguous problems into smaller, manageable tasks to bring predictability to overall execution.
  • Actively participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback on both functional and non-functional aspects (e. g., performance, security, maintainability).
  • Mentor junior engineers, fostering a collaborative team spirit, and contributing to their professional growth.
  • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, demonstrating strong communication skills to align on requirements and deliver integrated solutions

Requirements

  • B. Tech, M. Tech, or Ph. D. in Computer Science or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Strong understanding of Computer Science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and computer networks.
  • 3-5 years of hands-on experience in backend development, with significant expertise in server-side technologies such as Java/Spring Boot.
  • Proven experience building and scaling applications on public cloud infrastructure (e. g., AWS, GCP, Azure), utilizing technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Proficiency in working with various database systems, including both relational (e. g., PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (e. g., MongoDB, Elasticsearch) databases.
  • Experience building products for highly consistent use cases is a strong plus.
  • A go-getter attitude with a strong intent and energy to solve complex technical challenges.
