VSA X Staff software engineer (backend) Role Overview We are seeking a Senior Staff Engineer to lead the architecture of a high-load distributed backend system, with strong emphasis on performance engineering, caching strategies, and efficient communication patterns (gRPC, messaging). The system is heavily Redis-driven with minimal reliance on database operations.
- Lead architecture design for high-load distributed systems
- Define and drive cache-first architecture (Redis as core layer)
- Design efficient service communication using gRPC, REST, and messaging systems
- Define best practices for RabbitMQ/Kafka usage (throughput, reliability, ordering)
- Drive deep performance optimization across CPU, memory, network, and I/O
- Optimize inter-service communication and data flow
- Design productive data access patterns with NHibernate
- Own performance of critical paths under high concurrency
- Establish engineering standards for high-performance C# code
- Drive adoption of AI-assisted engineering (coding agents, test generation)




- Define governance for AI-generated code quality and safety
- Mentor engineers in performance engineering and distributed systems
- Lead incident analysis focusing on performance bottlenecks and scaling limits
- 8+ years of backend engineering experience
- Deep expertise in C# / .NET
- Proven experience building high-load distributed systems
- Strong experience with Redis: Cache design (TTL, invalidation, consistency trade-offs)
- Memory and latency optimization
- Strong experience with gRPC, REST APIs, and messaging systems
- Hands-on experience with RabbitMQ and/or Kafka at scale
- Deep expertise in performance engineering: Profiling (CPU, memory, GC) Latency and throughput optimization
- Eliminating bottlenecks
- Advanced experience with NHibernate: Efficient query design ORM performance pitfalls Migrations
- Strong understanding of distributed system behavior: Concurrency, consistency, failure scenarios
- Deep understanding of application
