The listing
About the company
Our client is a fast-growing software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Design and build backend and distributed services for a no-code product aimed at non-technical users. Partner with users and product colleagues, contribute to written specs, and make sound technical decisions that keep systems dependable and easy to evolve as usage grows.
What you'll do
- Build and evolve backend services and distributed systems behind a customer-facing software product.
- Improve the speed and interactivity of queries that run against large data warehouses, including query tuning and storing precomputed results.
- Develop analytics and experimentation features that let users define audiences and measure how they perform.
- Explore real-time computation and data syncing as underlying data platforms become faster.
- Apply generative AI to streamline user workflows.
- Write and review product specs, and speak directly with users to refine work based on their feedback.
- Weigh long-term design tradeoffs so that services stay robust, maintainable and able to handle growth.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Staff-level engineering experience at minimum.
- A strong backend specialization; primarily full-stack or infrastructure-focused profiles are not the target for this role.
- Excellent grounding in systems design fundamentals.
- A product-minded approach to backend work, including openness to calls with users and iterating on their feedback.
- Experience at a high-velocity startup during later stages of rapid growth.
- A degree in computer science, math or electrical engineering from a highly ranked program.
- Clear communication skills and a curious, fast-learning mindset.
Bonus points
- A track record of quick promotion at previous high-growth companies.
