Software Engineer (Backend, Quality-Focused)

About the Role

We’re looking for a backend-focused software engineer who treats quality as part of engineering, not as a separate function.

This is not a QA-only or SDET role. You will write production backend code, design APIs, and take ownership of testing, reliability, and correctness across the systems you build.

Our platform is data-heavy and API-driven, so correctness, observability, and thoughtful testing matter as much as feature delivery.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain backend services and APIs
• Design and implement meaningful tests (unit, integration, contract)
• Validate data integrity and API contracts before production
• Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines
• Monitor production behavior and test outcomes
• Collaborate with engineers, product, and data teams to ship reliable systems
• Use AI tools responsibly to accelerate work (not replace understanding)

What We’re Looking For

• Strong backend engineering experience
• Comfortable owning both code and tests
• Solid understanding of REST APIs and data flows
• Experience with CI/CD and cloud environments
• Ability to reason about failure modes, edge cases, and trade-offs
• Clear communicator who can explain technical decisions
