Backend Engineer (a 3-month contract)

We’re looking for Middle and Senior backend engineers to join a venture-backed company. It’s a SaaS product for IT professionals that allows real-time network monitoring, alerting, anomaly detection and prevention. Learn more about it: https://www.auvik.com/. We’ve been a part of the engineering team since the beginning of 2022.

The Auvik system consists of multiple microservices and event processors - to process millions of events that are gathered from thousands of network devices, stored, aggregated and visualized on customer’s dashboards.

The new team will integrate the Auvik product with a third-party service.

Long story short: We need to write an integration between Auvik and Acronis. The work will be more focused on configuration and engineering than pure programming. 90% of the time will be spent on understanding how the system works, and 10% of the time on configuring it.
