Senior Software Engineer - Backend

Overview

Senior Software Engineer – Backend to build and scale the backend services for the Data Security Manager product, owning features from requirements through production support.

What you'll do

• Design and build backend services in Rust, including REST APIs, data models, database schemas, and service-to-service integrations.
• Build integrations with cloud and enterprise platforms, researching unfamiliar APIs, SDKs, services, and technologies when necessary.
• Own technical design for new capabilities, considering architecture, scalability, performance, reliability, security, and maintainability.
• Identify and solve performance bottlenecks, scalability challenges, and architectural limitations as adoption increases.
• Take features through production, including implementation, unit and integration testing, CI/CD, deployment, validation, performance testing, and production readiness.
• Debug complex production issues across application, integration, database, and infrastructure layers and make the changes necessary to resolve them.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to refine requirements, evaluate technical trade-offs, and turn product needs into well-designed engineering solutions.
• Support customers and internal teams when complex technical issues arise, helping diagnose problems and improve the product based on what we learn.
• Collaborate with engineers across a globally distributed team, participating in design reviews, code reviews, technical discussions, and architectural decisions.

What you'll need

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant experience in backend development.
• Strong hands-on programming experience in Rust, C++, or Go.
• Designing and building backend services and microservices used in production.
• Designing and implementing REST APIs, including API contracts, integrations, and service-to-service communication.
• Designing database schemas and data models and working with application data access layers.
• Building or integrating with third-party APIs, SDKs, cloud services, or enterprise platforms.
• Taking ambiguous technical requirements, researching unfamiliar technologies, and turning findings into a practical technical design and implementation plan.
• Diagnosing and solving performance and scalability problems in production backend systems.
• Debugging complex issues across multiple components or services.
• Owning software through the full development lifecycle: design, implementation, testing, deployment, production validation, and ongoing support.
• Working effectively with Product Management and other engineering teams in a distributed environment.
