Backend Engineer
Why this role exists
We ship with lean teams. There’s no dedicated QA or Product Owner on your shoulder. Engineers here do the thinking, scoping, building, testing, and shipping. If you like owning problems end-to-end and making real decisions, you’ll be at home.
What this really means day to day
Shape the work. Partner with a PM or stakeholder to clarify the problem, define scope, and write the tickets. Break projects into milestones that can ship.
Design first. Produce clear, lightweight design docs and diagrams. Pick sensible trade-offs. If you take over a half-built project, you can read the tea leaves fast and finish it.
Build it well. Write clean code, factor thoughtfully, keep the blast radius small. You’re comfortable moving across services and touching the UI when needed.
Own quality. Write tests at the right levels, define acceptance criteria, and do targeted manual checks. Use feature flags and progressive delivery.
Operate in production. Ship via CI/CD, watch metrics and logs, root-cause issues, and lead post-mortems with follow-through.
Communicate like a pro. Share updates async, demo work, and keep stakeholders unblocked without hand-holding.
