We are looking for a motivated and technically sound Backend Engineer with 1–3 years of experience to join our growing engineering team. In this role, you will work on designing, building, and maintaining scalable backend systems with a strong focus on event-driven architecture. You will collaborate closely with product managers, frontend engineers, and other backend developers to deliver reliable, high-performance systems that power critical business workflows.

This is an excellent opportunity for engineers who are passionate about distributed systems, asynchronous processing, and building backend services that scale efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using modern backend frameworks and programming languages.
  • Build and enhance event-driven systems using message brokers, queues, and streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SNS/SQS, or similar).
  • Implement asynchronous communication patterns to ensure system scalability, fault tolerance, and decoupling between services.
  • Develop and manage consumers, producers, and event handlers while ensuring data consistency and reliability.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate product requirements into technical solutions.
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code following best engineering practices.
  • Participate in system design discussions, code reviews, and architectural decisions.
  • Monitor and debug production systems, analyze logs and metrics, and proactively resolve issues.
  • Optimize backend performance, latency, and resource utilization.
  • Ensure adherence to security, data privacy, and compliance standards.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • 1–3 years of professional experience as a Backend Engineer or Software Engineer.
  • Strong understanding of event-driven architecture, asynchronous processing, and messaging patterns.
  • Hands-on experience with message queues or event streaming platforms such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, AWS SNS/SQS, or equivalents.
  • Proficiency in at least one backend programming language such as Java, Python, Node.js, or Go.
  • Experience building RESTful APIs and working with JSON-based data formats.
  • Solid understanding of databases (SQL and/or NoSQL) and data modeling concepts.
  • Familiarity with distributed systems concepts like retries, idempotency, eventual consistency, and fault tolerance.
  • Basic knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization tools is a plus.

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to microservices architecture.
  • Experience with observability tools (logging, monitoring, tracing).
  • Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
