About the Role

We're building something new at noon, a greenfield product with its own identity, stack, and customer base. This isn't an extension of what already exists; it's a fresh start within noon's ecosystem, targeting a different market segment with different problems to solve.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives in early-stage, high-ownership environments. You'll be part of a founding squad, shaping architecture, establishing engineering culture, and shipping features that matter from day one.

What You'll Do

• Design and build distributed backend services for a high-throughput commerce platform.
• Architect scalable, fault-tolerant systems across core commerce domains including catalog, cart, checkout, payments, and order management.
• Drive technical decisions in a collaborative, fast-moving squad where your input shapes the product.
• Implement observability best practices including logging, metrics, and distributed tracing.
• Own reliability, performance, and cost-efficiency across your services.
• Mentor engineers and raise the team's technical bar through code reviews and design discussions.

What You'll Need

• 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience.
• Strong proficiency in Python and/or Golang in production environments; FastAPI experience is a plus for Python engineers.
• Proven experience designing high-scale, fault-tolerant distributed systems.
• Deep understanding of microservices architecture, event-driven systems, and messaging patterns.
• Strong database skills with MySQL - schema design, query optimization, and managing data at scale.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (GCP preferred), Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong analytical skills - debugging, profiling, and performance tuning in production.
• Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with a high degree of ownership.
• Excellent communication and ability to collaborate across product, design, and engineering.

Why Join?

• Greenfield opportunity - build systems from scratch with the right foundations, not around legacy constraints.
• Direct ownership - you'll own problems, not tickets.
• Growth - joining an early-stage team means real leadership opportunities as it scales.
• Backing - the infrastructure, brand, and resources of noon, applied to a new product.

Who will excel?

• We’re looking for people with high standards, who understand that hard work matters.
• You need to be relentlessly resourceful and operate with a deep bias for action.
• We need people with the courage to be fiercely original.
• noon is not for everyone; readiness to adapt, pivot, and learn is essential.
