Software Development Engineer III - Custom Objects (Backend)

About the Role

We are building systems that operate at scale – high write volumes, real‑time state sync, and burst traffic that doesn’t politely warn before it arrives.

We are looking for engineers who love owning systems end‑to‑end, care deeply about performance and reliability, and want to build things that don’t just work – but last.

This is not a ticket‑execution role.

This is a system ownership role.

• Backend System Ownership
• Design and evolve Node. js / Nest JS services powering systems that operate at scale
• Take architectural decisions that balance scale, cost, and long‑term maintainability
• API Craftsmanship
• Build well‑typed, thoughtful REST contracts for high volume flows
• Think in versioning, backward compatibility, and clean boundaries
• Data at Scale
• Model and optimize Mongo DB / Firestore schemas for high read/write workloads
• Design atomic updates and consistency strategies for distributed systems
• Scalability & Resilience
• Implement queues, caching layers, and rate limiting to handle burst traffic gracefully
• Design for failure modes before they happen
• Frontend Integration
• Ship modular Vue 3 UIs that efficiently consume APIs
• Optimize real‑time updates and state management (Pinia)
• Improve Core Web Vitals and perceived performance
• Observability & Production Ownership
• Instrument logs, metrics, traces, and alerts
• Participate in on‑call
• Debug real production issues
• Drive post‑mortems to meaningful closure (not just documents)
• Mentorship & Leverage
• Review code thoughtfully
• Support junior engineers
• Raise engineering standards across the team

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional engineering experience
• Strong backend‑heavy full‑stack background
• Deep comfort with Node. js + Type Script
• Experience building and scaling microservices (Nest JS / Express)
• Modern frontend experience (Vue 3 or similar)
• API design
• Data modeling
• Distributed systems tradeoffs
• Concurrency & rate limiting
• Real production debugging experience
• Comfortable in cloud‑native environments (GCP / AWS)
• CI/CD and containerization familiarity
• Bonus Points
• Pub/Sub or message queue experience
• Event‑driven systems exposure
• Domain‑driven design familiarity
• Performance optimization work
• Experience reducing infra costs
• Our Tech Environment
• Backend: Node. js, Type Script, Nest JS / Express
• Frontend: Vue 3, Pinia, Vite / Webpack, Tailwind
• Storage: Mongo DB, Firestore, Redis, Elastic Search
• Infra: GCP (GKE, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks)
• CI/CD: Git Hub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes
• Testing: Jest, Vitest
• What You Will Get
• Ownership of real systems
• Complex problems worth solving
• Exposure to scale
• High engineering bar
• A team that values thoughtful design over rushed patches
