About the role

What it means for you

You'll work with a capable and driven team, and partner directly with senior business leaders on technical decisions, shaping systems - not just implementing them. You’ll have the autonomy to choose the right tools and the ownership to ensure the architecture performs under pressure. Your focus stays where it counts: mission-critical logic and high-impact experiments, not repetitive tasks and countless meetings. You’ll contribute to strategic open-source projects and build AI-driven solutions.

Role Overview

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you’ll be the backbone of our development efforts and a key driver of our engineering culture. You will design, build, and scale resilient systems for international clients while staying close to the code. We’re looking for someone who brings ready solutions rather than problems to solve, and treats the client’s product as their own. This isn't a short-term opportunity - we’re looking for a partner to grow with us, someone who thrives in a highly collaborative environment and proactively shares "lessons learned" to level up the entire team.

Responsibilities

  • Drive technical direction: Own the architecture and implementation of complex backend systems.
  • Problem Solving: Identify systemic risks before they manifest and propose clear, actionable ways to bypass them.
  • Consulting: Work directly with stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable technology.
  • Mentorship: Share your observations and "lessons learned" to help the whole team level up.
  • AI Integration: Identify where Applied AI can actually improve a product and lead the implementation.
