Descrição do Emprego - Backend Engineer

We are looking for a Backend Engineer with strong cloud experience to join our team.
You will be at the core of designing and building our data services architecture - orchestrating containerized workloads, serverless pipelines, and multi-database layers on Azure.

What you will be doing

  • Design and implement backend services using Azure serverless technologies, with a strong focus on Azure Function Apps (Durable Functions) for complex orchestration workflows.
  • Architect and chain containerized data services, defining how components interact, scale, and recover.
  • Build efficient data access layers across (SQL, NoSQL, and Redis, etc**)** databases, choosing the right storage for each use case.
  • Develop clean, well-tested Python code following backend and cloud best practices.
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation for cloud workloads.
  • Collaborate with other engineers to integrate services and ensure reliability and performance across the platform.
  • Troubleshoot and debug distributed cloud environments, ensuring minimal downtime.
  • Participate in architecture discussions and help shape technical decisions for our data infrastructure.
  • Ensure cloud security best practices are applied across services and infrastructure.

What we're looking for

  • 2–4 years of experience in backend development with hands-on cloud experience, ideally on Azure.
  • Solid Python development skills — you write clean, maintainable, production-ready code.
  • Practical experience with Azure Function Apps; knowledge of Durable Functions is a strong plus.
  • Comfortable working with containerized architectures (Docker, Azure Container Apps, or similar).
  • Good understanding of relational (SQL) and non-relational (NoSQL, Redis) databases and when to use each.
  • Familiar with RESTful APIs, web protocols, and distributed systems concepts.
  • Experience with DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and monitoring tools.
  • Understanding of Infrastructure as Code principles is a plus.
  • Team-oriented, proactive communicator, comfortable working in a collaborative environment.
  • Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

Perks

  • Fully Remote or Hybrid Work System (you decide)
  • Meal Allowance: €10.46 per day (via card)
  • 15th Month Bonus Salary Policy
  • 4 extra vacation days
  • Participation in International Projects
  • Health Insurance (for you, spouse and children)
