About the Team
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the Messaging team.
The Messaging team owns Miro’s notification platform, ensuring users receive relevant, timely, and trustworthy notifications that help them stay informed and improve their Miro experience. This includes email notificationsin-app notifications, and the underlying systems that power them.
Our mission sits at the intersection of product experience and platform reliability. We enable Miro teams to communicate with users at the right moment, across channels, at scale - while avoiding noise, duplication, and overload. By building robust, scalable, and observable messaging system, we help Miro teams drive retention, engagement and clarity for millions of users.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Backend Engineer who will help us evolve and scale Miro’s messaging and notification capabilities.
You’ll work on high-throughput, event-driven systems that operate under strict reliability, latency, and correctness requirements. The role requires strong software engineering fundamentals, experience with distributed systems, and a product mindset - understanding that every notification affects user trust.
You’ll take ownership of critical services, collaborate closely with Product and Platform teams, and help define stable, extensible interfaces that enable Miro teams to deliver meaningful user notifications safely and efficiently.
What you’ll do
  • Design and implement scalable, fault-tolerant backend services for email and in-app notifications
  • Build and evolve event-driven, asynchronous pipelines that process high volumes of product and user events
  • Create high-quality technical designs and write clean, maintainable, self-documented production code
  • Ensure correctness, idempotency, deduplication, and delivery guarantees across notification flows
  • Optimize performance, latency, and scalability while maintaining reliability under peak load
  • Take long-term ownership of features and subsystems, including production health and evolution
  • Collaborate with Product and Platform teams to deliver relevant and timely user notifications
What you’ll need
  • 6+ years of backend development experience (Java 17, Kotlin, Spring / Spring Boot)
  • At least 4+ years of experience building and operating distributed systems in production environments
  • Strong understanding of event-driven architectures, async processing, and message-based systems
  • Solid knowledge of high-load SaaS architecture, scalability, and reliability patterns
  • Some experience with streaming/messaging platforms, notifications or feed-like systems (email, in-app, push, or similar)
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS, and production observability practices
What's in it for you
  • Competitive equity package
  • Medical insurance coverage
  • Lunch, snacks and drinks provided in the office
  • Wellbeing benefit and WFH equipment allowance
  • Annual learning and development allowance to grow your skills and career
  • Travel allowance for your commute
  • Opportunity to work for a globally diverse team
  • Inspiring workplace in the heart of Amsterdam
