Our cliente is looking for an experienced Senior Backend Software Engineer to help design and build highly scalable backend platforms powering its streaming ecosystem.

In this role, you’ll develop high-performance APIs and distributed backend services that support millions of users and thousands of requests per second (RPS). You’ll work in a modern cloud-native environment using Java, Spring Boot, Golang, Kubernetes, GCP, and AWS, collaborating with experienced engineers across multiple product teams.

This is an excellent opportunity for engineers who enjoy solving complex scalability, distributed systems, and cloud architecture challenges.

What You’ll Do:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend APIs and microservices using Java (Spring Boot) and Golang.
• Build high-performance distributed systems capable of supporting thousands of requests per second.
• Develop and optimize backend services running in Kubernetes-based cloud environments.
• Work across both Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure.
• Design scalable cloud-native solutions using technologies such as:

1. GKE
2. Pub/Sub
3. Cloud SQL
4. EKS
5. ECS
6. Lambda
7. Step Functions

• Participate in architecture and technical design discussions for new backend services.
• Improve system reliability, scalability, and overall platform performance.
• Promote engineering best practices, clean code, and high-quality software development.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers, platform engineers, data engineers, and cross-functional product teams.

Required Qualifications:

• 9+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong experience developing backend applications using Java and Spring Boot.
• Practical experience building production applications using Golang.
• Proven experience developing scalable APIs and distributed backend systems.
• Experience building systems capable of handling high traffic and thousands of requests per second (RPS).
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized applications (Docker).
• Strong experience working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Solid understanding of cloud-native architectures and microservices.
• Experience working with AWS services.
• Strong knowledge of REST APIs and backend service design.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Advanced conversational English.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Pub/Sub or Kafka.
• Experience with MySQL and/or YugabyteDB.
• Experience supporting applications with millions of monthly active users (MAUs).
• Experience with highly available distributed systems.
• Experience designing cloud-native architectures.
• Experience working in streaming, fintech, SaaS, or other high-scale product companies.

Ideal Candidate:

We’re looking for engineers who have built and operated scalable backend platforms in production, not just CRUD applications.

The ideal candidate has experience working with distributed systems, microservices, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and high-performance APIs serving large-scale applications.

If you’ve worked in product companies handling millions of users or high-volume backend services, you’ll be a strong fit for this role.
