Who you are

You have 5+ years of backend engineering experience building production systems at scale — you've owned services from design through deployment and have navigated complex distributed systems issues with confidence.

You understand the importance of data quality and have experience working with databases like PostgreSQL, ensuring that your applications are robust and efficient.

You thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy working closely with product teams to design, build, and evaluate new features that drive revenue and help businesses grow. Your ability to communicate technical concepts clearly makes you a valuable team member, as you can bridge the gap between engineering and product management. You are proactive in identifying opportunities for improvement and are always looking for ways to enhance user satisfaction through your work.

You are adaptable and comfortable with a hybrid work model, allowing you to balance remote work with in-office collaboration when needed. You appreciate the flexibility that comes with this role, as it fosters innovation and creativity in your engineering practices. You are passionate about empowering small and medium-sized businesses and are excited about the impact your work can have on their success.

Desirable

Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure would be a plus, as would familiarity with CI/CD practices and tools. If you have a background in CRM systems or have worked in a similar industry, that would further enhance your fit for this role.
