🚀 What We’re Building


CodeRound AI matches the top 5% of tech talent with fast-growing, VC-funded product startups.

Leading product companies across the US, UK, EU, UAE, and India have hired senior engineers through CodeRound to build and scale critical backend systems.


🧩 What You’ll Do


  • Lead the design, development, and maintenance of scalable backend services using Python
  • Architect and operate event-driven, distributed systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, streaming platforms)
  • Build and evolve high-performance REST / gRPC APIs for large-scale production workloads
  • Own system architecture with a focus on fault tolerance, scalability, and reliability
  • Drive performance improvements through caching, indexing, async processing, and query optimization
  • Design efficient data models using SQL (Postgres/MySQL) and NoSQL (Cassandra/ScyllaDB)
  • Ensure stable releases with strong observability (metrics, logs, traces)
  • Collaborate closely with product, AI/ML, frontend, and DevOps teams to translate requirements into robust backend systems
  • Mentor engineers, review code, and influence technical and architectural decisions
  • Take ownership of backend features end-to-end — from system design to deployment and monitoring


✅ You’re a Great Fit If You


  • Have 3+ years of backend engineering experience
  • Have spent longer stints building and scaling backend systems in product-driven teams
  • Have deep experience designing and operating distributed systems in production
  • Are strong in asynchronous programming, system design, algorithms, and data structures
  • Have hands-on experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.)
  • Are comfortable working with Docker and Kubernetes
  • Have experience deploying and running systems on AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Are confident in debugging complex production issues and improving system reliability at scale
  • Take ownership, set technical direction, and raise the overall engineering bar


⭐ Good to Have


  • Experience with high-scale consumer or fintech systems
  • Exposure to full-stack development (React, TypeScript)
  • Experience designing or owning CI/CD pipelines
  • Open-source contributions or an active GitHub profile
