About the team / Role
As an SDE 3, you will autonomously lead the design, scaling, and implementation of core backend systems and distributed data infrastructure. Balancing deep technical expertise with strong cross-functional collaboration, you will translate complex business requirements into high-performance architectures, champion engineering best practices, and actively mentor junior and mid-level engineers.
How you’ll make an impact
•
Lead the design and implementation of complex backend features, distributed microservices, and asynchronous REST APIs optimized for high throughput, low latency, and fault tolerance.
•
Design event-driven data pipelines, real-time message integrations, serverless functions, and distributed caching strategies to ensure data consistency and synchronization between modern and legacy data stores.
•
Implement advanced error handling (retry patterns, circuit breakers), automated database migrations, and secure authentication/authorization flows (OAuth 2.0, JWT, RBAC).
•
Manage cloud infrastructure via Infrastructure as Code (IaC), optimize containerized environments, and establish robust observability stacks (distributed tracing, metrics, logging).
•
Maintain excellent automated test coverage (unit, integration, load testing), drive performance profiling, and foster team growth through code reviews, pair programming, and technical guidance.
