Intermediate Backend Engineer

About the role:

• As an Intermediate Backend Engineer, you will take backend features from clarifying the problem through shipping them and following up in production.
• You will work within a product area, partnering with Product Management, Frontend, Infrastructure, and Security to deliver predictably and contribute to the quality, security, performance, and maintainability of shared backend code.
• You will be trusted to work with minimal guidance, to know when to seek help, and to communicate clearly in a remote, asynchronous environment.

What you’ll do:

• Own and ship features: design, implement, test, and ship backend features with minimal guidance in Ruby/Rails, Go, or other modern languages.
• Build for production: write maintainable, secure, observable, and performant code; design APIs, background jobs, and work with data models.
• Test and review: add and improve automated coverage and review others’ code for correctness, security, and operational risk.

What you’ll bring:

• Backend fundamentals: professional experience building and shipping production backend applications with strong programming, API, database, testing, and debugging skills.
• Adaptability: experience with Ruby/Rails, Go, or any other modern backend language; we value the ability to learn and adapt.
• Feature ownership: take a feature from clarification through delivery, working independently while seeking input at the right time.
