Join our team as a Backend Engineer building an Enterprise Tech platform. You will be part of a talented team that works on impactful enterprise-level applications. Backend Engineer roles and responsibilities include contributing to server-side application development, while providing expertise in the full software development lifecycle, from data modeling and API design to testing and deployment.

Key responsibilities

Produce fully functional programs writing clean, testable code — and be able to walk through the trade-offs and reasoning behind how you built it

Use AI tools to speed up parts of your workflow, and review AI-generated or teammates' code critically before it ships

Diagnose bugs and bottlenecks in existing systems, not just patch symptoms

Proactively communicate with the counterpart and internal team about project requirements, coordination, and task progression

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience

Grit to learn and adapt: Problem-solving and resourcefulness — able to figure things out and adjust your approach when the default one doesn't fit

Humility to accept and give constructive, critical feedback, and follow through on it

Proficient verbal and written English

Strong working knowledge of Git — you use it to organize and document your own work

Experience using AI coding tools, with the transparency and accountability to own what you ship regardless of AI's role in producing it

Curiosity about the product and the client's business behind your tasks
