Senior Software Engineer - Backend

The Opportunity

 

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Recording Catalog team. This team is responsible for establishing a clear and maintainable Recording domain, providing a robust and well-defined interface for how recordings are organized, accessed, and used across Veo’s platform.

 

You’ll help design and maintain the core systems that power this domain - ensuring recording data is reliable, consistent, and easy to work with for both internal teams and customers. 

 

As part of a small, focused team, you’ll have a high degree of ownership and influence on how this area evolves, while collaborating with other engineers and reporting to the Engineering Manager.

Design and evolve domain models and APIs for recordings, matches, and their relationships, with a strong focus on correctness and long-term maintainability.

Build and operate backend services that provide consistent, controlled access to recording data across Veo’s systems.

Lead and execute complex refactors and migrations, while keeping systems stable and data in sync.

Improve reliability and data integrity by identifying edge cases and technical debt in the recording domain and shipping pragmatic fixes.

Collaborate with product teams and platform partners, align on API contracts, and document decisions so other teams can build on top of the recording domain safely.

Contribute to documentation and shared understanding of the domain, helping make it accessible and usable across the organization.

5 or more years of working experience with a strong backend engineering experience building and maintaining production systems.

Experience working with domain-driven design problems, where defining models, boundaries, and ownership is key.

Experience with API design, data migrations, and backward-compatible rollouts.

A pragmatic approach to reliability, observability, and operational ownership.

Enjoyment of collaborating across teams and writing clear documentation.

Familiarity with Python is a bonus

Openness to using modern AI tools in software development, and curiosity about how they can shape the way we design and evolve systems.
