Senior Principal Backend Development Engineer

About Us

• Own end-to-end technical solution design and delivery for company-wide technical initiatives
• Lead the engineering implementation of AI capabilities, including but not limited to AI-assisted development, AI code review, AI observability analysis, and AI-driven operations automation
• Proactively resolve complex technical challenges across business lines, driving improvements in efficiency and quality through technical means
• Design and optimize high-concurrency, distributed system architectures, and explore AI applications in capacity planning, performance bottleneck analysis, and anomaly detection
• Provide technical support and training to business teams, promoting the adoption and standardization of AI + engineering capabilities across the organization

• Strong coding fundamentals: proficiency in Go or Java concurrent programming, with deep understanding of design and optimization in high-concurrency scenarios
• Distributed systems experience: hands-on experience with distributed services and distributed storage; familiarity with microservices architecture design
• System optimization: solid knowledge of Linux OS; understanding of middleware internals and engineering practices (e.g., etcd, Nacos, Kafka)
• Frameworks & protocols: proficiency in gRPC; experience with development and performance tuning is a plus
• Troubleshooting skills: proficient with profiling tools, Arthas, and Linux CLI for system analysis and issue diagnosis

• AI engineering mindset: understanding of LLM fundamentals, capability boundaries, and practical engineering usage

• Ability to evaluate the impact of AI capabilities on system stability, security, cost, and compliance from an architectural perspective
• Clear understanding of AI's role as an "assistive tool" in engineering — avoids over-reliance and demonstrates sound engineering judgment

• Bachelor's degree or above; 3+ years of relevant development experience
• Open-source contributions, or a track record of technical blogging / knowledge sharing is a plus
• Strong communication and collaboration skills; ability to drive holistic improvements across AI, architecture, and engineering efficiency

• Experience designing financial systems, trading systems, or high-availability systems
• Hands-on experience with AI-driven observability, automated operations, or stability governance
• Familiarity with the design and internals of multiple open-source middleware solutions (e.g., Redis, Kafka)
