  • Own and improve production systems with a strong focus on performance, scalability, availability, and fault tolerance.
  • Debug and resolve complex production issues involving services, databases, caches, and messaging systems.
  • Contribute to low-level design (LLD) and actively participate in high-level architecture (HLD) discussions for new features and system improvements.
  • Work with event-driven and asynchronous architectures, ensuring correctness and reliability of data flows.
  • Optimize database schemas, queries, indexing strategies, and caching layers for high-throughput workloads.
  • Partner with DevOps, QA, and Product teams to support smooth 24×7 production operations.
  • Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and incident post-mortems to continuously improve system quality.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of backend components, from design and implementation to deployment and production support.

You might be a strong candidate if you have/are:

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 2+ years of experience building and maintaining backend systems in production environments.
  • Strong proficiency in Java with hands-on experience in Spring Boot–based microservices.
  • Solid knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and backend problem solving.
  • Strong experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases in high-scale systems.
  • Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and working with asynchronous systems.
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills in live production systems.
  • Good understanding of software engineering best practices, including testing, code reviews, CI/CD, and release management.
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to partner effectively within a team.
  • Hands-on experience with Kafka or similar messaging/event-streaming platforms.
  • Exposure to distributed systems, microservices architecture, and scaling strategies.

Good to have:

  • Experience using Redis, Elasticsearch, and MongoDB in production systems.
  • Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Experience participating in on-call rotations and handling production incidents.

What Sun King offers:

  • Professional growth in a dynamic, rapidly expanding, high-social-impact industry
  • An open-minded, collaborative culture made up of enthusiastic colleagues who are driven by the challenge of innovation towards profound impact on people and the planet.
  • A truly multicultural experience: you will have the chance to work with and learn from people from different geographies, nationalities, and backgrounds.
