Your Mission at Yotpo As a Backend Engineer, you build the scalable, resilient engine that powers the Yotpo platform. Your mission is to design and implement high-performance services that handle massive scale, ensuring data integrity and system reliability for thousands of brands. Working within a product team, you will translate complex business logic into robust architectural solutions, ensuring that our infrastructure can scale as fast as our customers do.
Key Responsibilities
- Distributed Systems Design: Design and build microservices and event-driven architectures that are resilient, scalable, and maintainable. You will make critical decisions on synchronous vs. asynchronous communication and data consistency.
- Data Mastery: Manage the lifecycle of data across our platform. You will design efficient database schemas (SQL & NoSQL) and optimize query performance to handle high-throughput workloads.
- Operational Excellence: Embrace the "You Build It, You Run It" philosophy. You will own your services in production, implementing observability (logging, tracing, metrics) to detect issues before our customers do.
- API Craftsmanship: Build clean, secure, and well-documented APIs (REST/GraphQL) that serve as the contract between our backend services and the frontend experience.
