Job details:
We are looking for a deeply technical, hands-on Senior Backend Engineer who can architect systems in the morning, write production-grade code in the afternoon, and scale infrastructure to power millions of 3D and XR experiences.
You will own the entire backend ecosystem: architecture, APIs, databases, infrastructure,
performance, and reliability. This is not an oversight or management-only position - it is a builder’s role where you design, code, deploy, and optimize mission-critical systems. You will make foundational decisions, build distributed systems that handle massive 3D processing workloads, and lead our backend engineering direction as we scale globally.
Core Role Requirements
- Deep Technical Expertise: Candidates must be hands-on "builders" capable of both high-level system architecture and writing production-grade code daily.
- System Ownership: The role requires owning the entire backend ecosystem, including APIs, databases, infrastructure, and reliability.
- Scalability & Performance: Proven experience in architecting systems for massive traffic growth ($10\times$–$100\times$) and optimizing for CPU/GPU-intensive 3D workloads.
- Infrastructure Management: Hands-on experience with AWS infrastructure, container orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
Technical Qualifications
- Experience: A minimum of 5+ years in backend engineering with a focus on building scalable systems from scratch.
- Primary Stack: Expert-level proficiency in Node.js (Express, NestJS) or Python (FastAPI, Django).
- Databases & Data: Strong skills in SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB/DynamoDB) design and performance optimization.
- Distributed Systems: Deep understanding of microservices, event-driven systems, caching (Redis), and message queues (Kafka/RabbitMQ).
Highly Desirable Attributes
- Specialized Processing: Experience with large file processing (3D, video, or images) and real-time systems like WebSockets.
- Domain Background: Previous experience in SaaS, e-commerce, or XR/AR/VR backend systems.
- Leadership: Proven ability to mentor engineers and shape engineering culture while remaining close to the code.
Culture
- A "builder" mindset with strong ownership and the ability to balance technical ambition with pragmatism.
