We’re hiring a remote, contract-based Backend Engineer who can build and run production systems end-to-end. You’ll own backend services (Go + Python), server setup, backend infrastructure, and cloud cost optimization—with a strong focus on reliability, scalability, and performance-per-dollar.
Responsibilities
- Build, deploy, and maintain production backend services in Golang and Python
- Design scalable architectures: stateless services, queues, caching, DB scaling, horizontal scaling, load balancing
- Own backend infra end-to-end: server setup, deployments, rollbacks, monitoring, alerting, incident response
- Set up and maintain cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure): networking, IAM, security groups, VPC/VNet, secrets, backups
- Improve performance and reliability: profiling, p95 latency reduction, throughput, resilience, graceful degradation
- Drive cost optimization: right-sizing, autoscaling, storage tuning, caching strategy, data transfer reduction, reserved/savings plans
- Implement observability: metrics, logs, tracing, dashboards, SLOs, and alerting
- Ensure security and hygiene: least privilege, patching, key rotation, audit logs, basic threat modeling
Required skills (must-have)
- Strong production experience with Golang (concurrency, profiling/pprof, performance tuning)
- Strong production experience with Python (backend services, async/task systems, performance awareness)
- Hands-on Linux server management (debugging, networking basics, processes, memory, disk I/O)
- Experience with backend infrastructure and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure)
- Proven ability to design systems that scale horizontally across multiple servers/instances
- Track record of improving cost efficiency without breaking SLOs (latency/uptime)
Nice to have
- Docker + Kubernetes (or strong containerization + orchestration experience)
- Terraform/Pulumi/CloudFormation (Infrastructure-as-Code)
- Postgres/MySQL at scale; Redis; Kafka/RabbitMQ/SQS; CDN and edge caching
- Security best practices: WAF, rate-limits, secure secrets management, hardening
- Experience with high-throughput systems (1,000+ RPS or large request volumes)
Contract details
- Remote, contract role
- Flexible time zones (overlap for standups + incident coverage)
- Start: ASAP
- Duration: ongoing / project-based (extendable based on performance)
