In an AI-enabled engineering era, you’ll use GenAI tools to accelerate delivery, and apply an experimentation mindset to validate outcomes: versioning and evaluating changes (including prompts/config), measuring impact with data, and building observability and regression checks that keep quality high as systems evolve.ResponsibilitiesOwn backend features end-to-end: discovery, design, implementation, rollout, and long-term reliability/operationsDesign and evolve distributed systems (services, pipelines, data stores) with strong performance, scalability, and resiliencyBuild and maintain APIs (REST/GraphQL, where relevant) and data access patterns supporting analytics and search use casesEstablish strong engineering fundamentals: code reviews, testing strategies, incident readiness, and operational excellenceApply an experimentation-first approach: define hypotheses, define success metrics/guardrails, run controlled rollouts and A/B tests when appropriate, and write clear readouts for stakeholdersBring evaluation discipline to AI-assisted work: treat prompts/configs like versioned artifacts, design regression tests, measure quality changes, and monitor for drift (the same way you would for performance or correctness)Use GenAI productively and responsibly (for coding assistance, debugging, and design reviews), while maintaining high standards for correctness, security, and privacyMentor teammates and raise the bar through documentation, pairing, and lightweight coaching on best practicesRequirements5+ years building and scaling backend systems (distributed systems experience expected at senior level)Strong JVM fundamentals; ability to troubleshoot and performance-tune production servicesProduction experience with Kotlin (functional/reactive patterns a strong plus)Strong SQL + data modeling skills (PostgreSQL; familiarity with jOOQ or similar)Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka) and cloud deployment on AWS; containers (Docker/Kubernetes)Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across functionsComfort with AI-assisted engineering and the discipline to validate outcomes (tests, metrics, evaluation) rather than trusting outputs blindlyNice to haveSearch/retrieval systems (Elasticsearch/Lucene)GraphQLWorkflow/orchestration (Argo/Airflow), Terraform/Ansible, Grafana dashboardsWorking with external social APIs (TikTok/YouTube/Facebook)Data-driven systems at scaleWe use GenAI to accelerate development while maintaining a high code quality standard.
