About the role

We are seeking a proactive, technically strong Backend Developer to keep a live, business-critical microservices platform healthy while delivering meaningful improvements on top of it.

This is a hands-on role with a high degree of autonomy: you’ll take a bug report or change request, investigate it across the codebase, and see it through to production. You’ll balance production support with feature engineering, backed by a supportive team, and we’re embracing agentic development with AI coding agents to ship efficiently without compromising quality.

Key responsibilities

Resolve production issues: Triage, diagnose, and resolve issues across distributed microservices, tracing a request from the user-facing API down to the services that talk to external systems.
