Design and own backend services that have to stay reliable and fast under massive, unpredictable consumer traffic. As a Senior Software Engineer – Backend at Talentica, you’ll build distributed, microservices-based systems in Go and Node.js, solving engineering challenges such as high availability, asynchronous event-driven architecture, and system design at global scale.

What You'll Own

- Design and implement scalable, distributed backend systems that serve millions of consumers globally.

- Own critical services within a microservices architecture, delivering complex features against timeline, quality, reliability, and performance expectations.

- Optimize backend systems for reliability, scalability, security, and performance.

- Partner with Product Managers, Designers, Architects, QA, and SRE to align engineering delivery with business outcomes.

- Define and promote engineering best practices across software design, code quality, automated testing, CI/CD, and DevOps.

- Contribute across the full SDLC — analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and post-production support.

- Participate in production monitoring, incident response, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.

What We Need

- 6+ years of backend engineering experience with strong hands-on proficiency in Go and Node.js.

- Solid system-design and architectural experience building scalable, highly available products and services.

- Extensive experience with RESTful APIs, microservices, distributed systems, and asynchronous event-driven architectures.

- Strong understanding of HTTP protocols, API design, relational and NoSQL databases,



caching, messaging, and Linux systems.

- Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

- Experience working in Agile delivery environments using iterative and incremental development practices.

- Good to have: familiarity with Ruby on Rails, ReactJS, or other modern frameworks (advantageous but not mandatory).

Why It's Worth Your Time

- You'll bring AI-assisted tools into your daily Go and Node.js development and debugging workflow.

- Owning critical services in a system built for millions of consumers globally is how you'll grow into a senior distributed-systems architect.

- You'll be guided by hands-on senior engineers and architects who review your system design decisions closely, and help you grow.

- You'll be surrounded by talented peers with strong educational backgrounds, and pushed to sharpen your distributed-systems instincts working alongside them.

About Talentica

Since 2003, Talentica has built software exclusively for tech companies — from early-stage startups to large, established enterprises. We've partnered with startups from their earliest stages through to successful acquisitions, doing the kind of deep product and engineering work that moves a company's valuation, not generalist consulting or staff augmentation. Our ~600-person team is among the strongest in the industry, drawn heavily from the IITs and NITs — which means the software you'll build is genuinely differentiated, and the work is demanding enough that you'll keep learning regardless of how senior you are.
