Candidates must have 8-10 years of backend software engineering experience, including designing, building, and operating production systems at scale. Proven experience designing and implementing APIs (REST and/or GraphQL) to support complex mobile applications is required, along with hands-on experience integrating and deploying large language models. Strong knowledge of distributed systems fundamentals, including scalability, caching, performance optimization, reliability, and observability, is essential. Experience with at least one backend language commonly used for mobile backends, such as Python, Node.js, or Ruby, is necessary. A degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience is preferred, as is familiarity with data-intensive systems or workflows, modern infrastructure and tooling, and comfort with on-call rotations and troubleshooting production issues. Prior experience in a high-growth or evolving environment and the ability to adapt to shifting priorities are also preferred.
