Why This Role Matters

Our backend is what keeps checkout, RTO, and payments fast and reliable at ~$2B GMV across 15,000+ merchants. As an SDE 2 you own services end to end, make the architecture calls that keep them performant, and set the technical bar for the engineers around you. The trade-offs you pick show up directly in merchant conversions and platform reliability - this is a builder's seat with real ownership.

What You'll Own

• Design and build backend services primarily in Node.js/NestJS, with Go for select services, backed by Postgres, Mongo, and Redis.
• Own event-driven flows on Kafka - throughput, ordering, and failure handling.
• Make and document the architecture and trade-off decisions for systems you lead.
• Ship features end to end, dropping into the frontend (React/Svelte) when it's the fastest path.
• Strengthen CI/CD, observability, and deployments on AWS.
• Review code, mentor SDE 1s and AEs, and raise the quality bar on the team.
• Take ambiguous problems and drive them to delivery with minimal hand-holding.

Who You Are

• Strong backend engineer in JavaScript/TypeScript on Node.js/NestJS (our primary stack); working knowledge of Go, or ready to pick it up.
• Solid at data modelling across Postgres and Mongo, and knows when Redis earns its place.
• Has built and scaled event-driven systems (Kafka or equivalent).
• At home on the backend but happy to work across the stack in React/Svelte.
• Thinks in systems - scalability, reliability, maintainability - not just features.
• Has mentored engineers and owns code quality and delivery, not just their own tickets.
• Communicates clearly and does well with ambiguity in a fast-moving team.
