We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Backend Engineer to design and develop a secure, scalable, and developer-friendly execution engine. This role involves solving complex engineering challenges related to sandboxing, distributed systems, resource management, observability, and platform scalability.
This is a high-impact opportunity for engineers passionate about backend infrastructure, platform engineering, and developer productivity.
RequirementsKey Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and scale a secure execution platform for running internal and external code workloads.
- Build backend services and APIs to manage execution workflows including scheduling, monitoring, cancellation, logging, and reporting.
- Architect isolated and sandboxed environments with strong security controls and resource quota management.
- Ensure high system reliability, resilience, and horizontal scalability under growing workloads.
- Integrate execution services with data platforms, analytics systems, and ML workflows.
- Collaborate with product managers, platform teams, and engineers to deliver intuitive developer experiences.
- Drive engineering best practices around observability, performance optimization, scalability, and execution safety.
- Contribute to technical architecture discussions and mentor junior engineers where needed.
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience, preferably in distributed systems, infrastructure, or platform engineering.
- Strong expertise in at least one backend language such as Python, Go, Java, or similar.
- Experience designing and building RESTful APIs and/or gRPC services.
- Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
