Software Engineer, Distributed Systems (Core)

Job description

About the Role

Join the core engineering team building and scaling backend systems that move customer data across a global infrastructure. You will tackle distributed systems challenges involving performance, reliability, streaming, and multi-region support.

What You'll Do

• Analyze and optimize the syncing pipeline to move large volumes of data more quickly.
• Develop real-time syncing capabilities and support streaming sources such as webhooks and queues.
• Identify scalability and reliability bottlenecks, then design systems for significant growth.
• Build and improve low-latency caching systems for real-time personalization workloads.
• Extend multi-region and multi-cloud infrastructure to support global data residency needs.
• Own projects end to end and work directly with customers on challenging scaling problems.

What We're Looking For

• At least 7 years of software engineering experience, with strong hands-on depth in distributed systems and backend engineering.
• Experience building and scaling complex, business-critical backend systems through substantial growth.
• Background creating event collection or data streaming services, including experience with message queues, Kafka, SQL databases, Kubernetes, and Docker.
• Understanding of infrastructure-level systems and tools such as Spark, Flink, and Kafka.
• Experience building data sync systems that process and move large volumes of data is valuable.
• Strong systems design fundamentals, communication skills, and ability to learn quickly.
• Strong computer science fundamentals and a primary background in backend systems rather than data engineering or DevOps.
