About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to take full ownership of our backend systems - from architecture and data modeling to performance, scalability, and reliability. This role requires strong logical reasoning, mathematical thinking, and business understanding, with the ability to translate business needs directly into robust backend solutions. If you tend to predict system behavior before it happens - or spot the flaw in a show’s storyline before the reveal - you will likely do well here.

• Develop REST APIs and real-time systems using WebSockets
• Design efficient data models and queries in MongoDB
• Optimize performance and scalability using Redis
• Implement schema validation and data safety using Zod
• Integrate and manage third-party services (e.g., Twilio, Resend)
• Write clean, predictable, and maintainable code
• Translate business requirements into precise technical solutions
• Debug complex production issues by identifying root causes, not symptoms
• Review code and continuously raise backend quality
