Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to design, build, and scale event-driven microservices that power large-scale integration between platforms and third-party ecosystems. This role involves owning core backend systems end-to-end, driving technical decisions, mentoring engineers, and working closely with product and architecture teams to deliver scalable, reliable systems.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and build scalable, cloud-native applications on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
- Develop and maintain microservices and distributed applications
- Design and maintain event-driven architectures processing high-volume events (10K+ events/sec) using Kafka, MQTT, and cloud messaging services
- Build and enhance microservices for real-time, low-latency data synchronization across distributed systems
- Develop and maintain third-party platform integrations, including voice platform integrations (e.g., Alexa Smart Home, Google Home) for device discovery and control
- Implement and manage OAuth 2.0-based account linking and token lifecycle management across third-party platforms
- Create and maintain REST APIs and backend services; integrate cloud services, third-party APIs, and databases
- Build serverless applications using services such as AWS Lambda or Azure Functions
- Build scalable backend APIs for real-time dashboards, aggregating and serving high-volume data at scale




- Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline) for automated build, test, and deployment workflows
- Collaborate with product managers, solution architects, and QA to ensure timely, high-quality delivery

Required Qualifications

- 5–8 years of professional backend engineering experience
- Robust proficiency in Python, with exposure to Node.js and TypeScript
- Experience with event-driven architecture using Apache Kafka, MQTT, or similar messaging systems
- Solid experience with RESTful API design and building scalable microservices
- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms — AWS (ECS, Lambda, S3, CodePipeline) or GCP (App Engine, Cloud Run)
- Experience with OAuth 2.0, JWT, and secure authentication flows
- Proficiency with Docker and containerized deployments
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline)
- Strong problem-solving skills with ability to debug complex production issues across distributed services

Candidate Profile

- Good to have: experience with IoT protocols (MQTT) and IoT platforms
- Good to have: familiarity with cloud messaging services (Google Pub/Sub, Azure Event Hub, AWS SNS/SQS)
- Good to have: experience with voice assistant integrations
- Good to have: experience with Kubernetes-based deployments
- Strong communicator, comfortable mentoring engineers and driving technical decisions independently
