Senior Backend developer

We’re hiring a remote, contract-based Backend & Infrastructure Engineer who can build and run production systems end-to-end.

You will build and scale high-throughput backend services in Golang and Python, operate ClickHouse-powered analytics at scale, manage Linux servers for maximum uptime, scalability, and reliability, and drive cost efficiency as a core engineering discipline across the entire stack.

What You Will Do:

Backend Development (Golang & Python)

• Design and maintain high-throughput RESTful/gRPC APIs — primarily Golang, Python for tooling and supporting services
• Architect for horizontal scalability, fault tolerance, and low-latency at scale
• Implement caching (Redis/Memcached), rate limiting, efficient serialization, and CI/CD pipelines

Scalable Architecture & System Design

• Design and evolve distributed, resilient backend architecture that scales without proportional cost increase
• Make deliberate trade-offs (CAP, cost vs. performance) and design multi-region HA with automated failover

ClickHouse & Analytical Data Infrastructure

• Deploy, tune, and operate ClickHouse clusters for real-time analytics and high-cardinality OLAP workloads
• Design optimal table engines, partition strategies, materialized views, and query patterns
• Manage cluster scaling, replication, schema migrations, and upstream/downstream integrations

Cost Efficiency & Cost Optimization

• Own cost optimization end-to-end: right-sizing, reserved/spot capacity, storage tiering, query optimization, compression, batching
• Build cost dashboards, budgets, and alerts; drive a culture of cost-aware engineering

Linux Server Management & Infrastructure

• Administer and harden Linux servers (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS/RHEL) — patching, security, SSH, firewalls
• Manage VPS/bare-metal provisioning, capacity planning, and containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes/Nomad)
• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Pulumi); optionally manage AWS/GCP as needed

Data, Storage & Scheduling

• Optimize SQL schemas and queries (PostgreSQL, MySQL); manage data archival, cold storage, and lifecycle policies
• Build and maintain cron jobs, scheduled tasks, and batch processing systems

Uptime, Reliability & Observability

• Own system uptime: zero-downtime deployments, health checks, self-healing infra, SLOs/SLIs
• Build observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry); structured logging, distributed tracing, alerting
• Drive incident response, root cause analysis, and post-mortems

Required Qualifications:

Must-Have (Critical)

• Deep proficiency in Golang (primary) and Python
• Proven ability to design and build scalable, distributed architectures
• Production experience deploying and operating ClickHouse at scale
• Track record of driving measurable cost efficiency and cost optimization
• 5+ years in backend engineering and infrastructure roles

Also Required

• Strong Linux server administration (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS/RHEL) — comfortable living in the terminal
• Proven uptime and reliability track record across production infrastructure
• Strong SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL); experience with high-throughput APIs (10K+ RPS)
• VPS/bare-metal provisioning, Docker, Kubernetes/Nomad, IaC (Terraform/Pulumi)
• Observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry)
• Cron jobs, batch processing, data archival, cold storage management
• Networking fundamentals (DNS, TCP/IP, load balancing, TLS)

Nice to Have

• AWS, GCP, or other major cloud provider experience
• Message queues / event streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS/SNS)
• Data pipelines (Airflow, dbt); FinOps practices
• Open-source contributions; compliance background (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR)
