We are hiring Software Engineers with 3–4 years of experience who are ready to take meaningful ownership of backend systems and work with minimal supervision.
This role is designed for engineers who have moved beyond writing features under guidance and are now ready to own them end-to-end — from design to production. You will be expected to make sound technical decisions, debug complex production issues independently, and contribute to how our systems scale and stay reliable.
If you have been in production, felt the pain of a silent failure, reasoned through a double-charge incident, or rearchitected a sync job that silently dropped data — this role is for you.
You will work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to build systems that are scalable, maintainable, and production-ready. Your daily work will involve:
Responsibilities
~1 min readOur interview process is designed to surface engineers who think in failure modes, not just happy paths. Specifically, we look for:
- →
Production ownership: Can you describe a system you owned end-to-end — including what broke, how you found it, and what you changed?
- →
Failure-mode reasoning: Can you identify what breaks when traffic doubles, a worker crashes mid-job, or a third-party API returns a 200 with a partial failure in the body?
- →
Idempotency intuition: Do you know when duplicate writes or duplicate charges can happen — and how to prevent them?
- →
Data integrity across integrations: Have you dealt with sync jobs that silently dropped data? Do you know how to build reconciliation and alerting around unreliable external systems?
- →
Indexing depth: Can you reason about composite index column ordering and use query execution plans to diagnose slow queries?
- →
Async system instincts: Do you understand the failure modes of background workers and queues — not just how to set them up?
