Cloud Backend Engineer (Azure) -- AI-Assisted Development (Claude Code + Copilot)

Job Description

Cloud Backend Engineer (Azure) — AI-Assisted Development (Claude Code + Copilot) XOGO is entering a new phase of growth, and we’re expanding our cloud engineering team with someone who loves solving complex problems in Azure and building clean, scalable backends. This role joins a strong, experienced team and will collaborate closely with senior engineers in the US, India, Ecuador, and Mexico. It’s a hands-on position with room to contribute architectural guidance as we continue to scale — and we build fast using AI-assisted development (Claude Code as the primary driver, GitHub Copilot as a helper), with you owning the final quality through strong code review and refactoring. What You’ll Do Collaborate with senior engineers to refine and optimize our Azure SQL architecture (performance, maturity, and cost control). Strengthen and modernize our Azure App Services and PaaS-first environment. Improve performance and design clarity in our internal APIs , and contribute to future external developer APIs . Enhance our SignalR real-time infrastructure powering thousands of devices. Use Claude Code + Copilot to accelerate delivery, then review, harden, and refactor AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance, and maintainability. Contribute to AI/ML integrations (Azure + Foundry). Support multi-region planning and EU data residency readiness (GDPR / EU Data Act considerations). Bring DevOps awareness to CI/CD, observability, reliability, and cost optimization . Work with our Stripe subscription backend as we upgrade billing architecture (monthly/yearly plans, in-app purchases, and more flexible payment flows). Who You Are Strong experience with Azure architecture , SQL tuning , API optimization , and distributed PaaS design. A strong hands-on coder and code reviewer — you can guide AI output and quickly spot issues (edge cases, security pitfalls, performance traps, architecture drift) and turn it into production-quality code. Comfortable partnering with other senior engineers — you collaborate, share ideas, and elevate the whole team. You think in terms of efficiency before scale and enjoy simplifying complex cloud systems. You’ve refactored or shaped cloud platforms before in a SaaS or IoT-like environment. Bonus: experience with or strong interest in Stripe subscriptions (Prices, Subscriptions, Customers, webhooks). Familiar with designing for regional data residency and compliance expectations. Why Join Us Work shoulder-to-shoulder with a capable engineering team building a global digital signage platform. Help shape the next evolution of XOGO’s cloud — with room to lead initiatives without “owning everything.” Fully remote to start ; India candidates will transition to hybrid in our upcoming Kochi office . Fast-moving environment with real impact and direct collaboration with US leadership. If you enjoy building smart, efficient cloud backends and want to help scale a real-world platform with a strong team (and modern AI-assisted workflows), we’d love to talk.
