Software Engineer, Distributed Systems (Core)

About the Role

Join the core engineering team building and scaling backend systems that move customer data across a global infrastructure. You will tackle distributed systems challenges involving performance, reliability, streaming, and multi-region support.

What You'll Do

• Analyze and optimize the syncing pipeline to move large volumes of data more quickly.

• Develop real-time syncing capabilities and support streaming sources such as webhooks and queues.

• Identify scalability and reliability bottlenecks, then design systems for significant growth.

• Build and improve low-latency caching systems for real-time personalization workloads.

• Extend multi-region and multi-cloud infrastructure to support global data residency needs.

• Own projects end to end and work directly with customers on challenging scaling problems.

What We're Looking For

• At least 7 years of software engineering experience, with strong hands-on depth in distributed systems and backend engineering.

• Experience building and scaling complex, business-critical backend systems through substantial growth.

• Background creating event collection or data streaming services, including experience with message queues, Kafka, SQL databases, Kubernetes, and Docker.

• Understanding of infrastructure-level systems and tools such as Spark, Flink, and Kafka.

• Experience building data sync systems that process and move large volumes of data is valuable.

• Strong systems design fundamentals, communication skills, and ability to learn quickly.

• Strong computer science fundamentals and a primary background in backend systems rather than data engineering or DevOps.
