Work from home Full-time role Hiring

This is a remote position.

Join an advanced engineering team solving mission-critical challenges in distributed systems and large-scale data movement. You’ll help architect and evolve the backbone for platforms serving a diverse global client base, focusing on seamless data synchronization, real-time streaming, and resilient cloud-native infrastructure.

What You'll Do

  • Design, implement, and maintain highly scalable, fault-tolerant backend services powering real-time data synchronization and streaming

  • Optimize systems for latency, throughput, and reliability to support demanding data transfer workflows

  • Guide architectural decisions around multi-region deployment, disaster recovery, and data residency for customers operating worldwide

  • Collaborate with both engineering and product stakeholders to deliver practical solutions that directly benefit end users and business needs

  • Own projects from concept to production—work with internal and external users to understand requirements and troubleshoot real-world scaling problems

  • Continuously monitor, evaluate, and improve platform automation, observability, and incident response techniques

About You

  • Experienced in building, scaling, and troubleshooting high-performance distributed systems

  • Comfortable working across cloud ecosystems (AWS, GCP, Azure) and various database and messaging technologies

  • Skilled in code and systems optimization—excited to address bottlenecks through analysis, experimentation, and iteration

  • Able to communicate technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences alike

  • Thrive on autonomy and ownership; motivated by delivering high-impact results in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Requirements

Qualifications

  • Track record of designing or operating data syncing platforms, streaming event collections, or large-scale backend infrastructure

  • Familiar with event-driven architectures, real-time APIs, and cloud-native deployment patterns

  • Competent in at least one backend programming language (e.g. Go, Python, Java) with supporting experience in SQL or related tech

  • Previous experience supporting a rapidly growing product or service is preferred, but high-impact is valued over years of seniority

Why Join

  • Direct ownership on projects affecting global customers

  • Work alongside high-performing peers that value autonomy and growth

  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity in a fast-growing platform

  • Remote-first environment with a strong focus on outcome and impact
