Backend Engineer - Farmer Experience

POSITION PURPOSE:

We are hiring a hands-on Backend Engineer to build, operate, and own the microservices that power FarmRise, a platform that puts agronomic advice directly into the hands of smallholder farmers. This is not a role where you hand off deployment and operations to someone else: you will design the service, write the code, own the AWS infrastructure it runs on, and be the first call when it breaks in production.

You will work across services spanning user onboarding, agronomy, commodity pricing, news/events, and third-party integrations. We are looking for someone who treats a production incident or an ambiguous requirement as their problem to solve, not someone waiting to be assigned a ticket.

YOUR TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

What You Will Own End to End
- Service design architecture: design and evolve Java + Spring Boot microservices and REST APIs consumed by the FarmRise mobile app and internal platforms; make and document trade-offs on data modeling, service boundaries, and API contracts.
- Cloud infrastructure (AWS):



own the full runtime your services live on ECS/Fargate for compute, RDS/Aurora Postgres for persistence, S3 for storage, CloudWatch/CloudTrail for logs and audit, SNS/AmazonMQ for messaging, CloudFront for delivery, ElastiCache for caching plus IAM, VPC/networking, and secrets management. You provision, tune, and troubleshoot this infrastructure yourself, not through a separate DevOps team.
- Async event-driven systems: design event/queue-based workflows on RabbitMQ (or SQS/SNS) producers, consumers, retry and dead-letter handling, idempotency, and back-pressure for resilient, decoupled processing.
- Data layer: design Postgres schemas, indexes, and queries for correctness and performance at scale; own migrations and query optimization as data volume grows.
- Observability reliability: instrument services with structured logging and metrics (Datadog/CloudWatch), define SLOs, set up alerting, an
