About the role

Engineers at Appier build a wide range of platforms and services that interconnect data and AI with our customers and users—operating at scale where every millisecond and every nine of availability matters. As a Senior Backend Engineer (SRE / Reliability & Performance), you will sit at the intersection of backend development and site reliability engineering: designing and building scalable, performant backend services while owning the reliability, observability, and performance characteristics of large-scale, high-traffic systems (QPS > 10k). You will profile and tune systems end to end, lead the response to production incidents, and drive the engineering practices that keep our services fast and resilient as traffic grows. Seniority and title are determined by job-related skills, experience, and evaluation following the interview. We welcome international candidates to our teams. This position is ideally to be based in Taiwan.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build scalable, reliable, and maintainable backend services and the components that support them
  • Own system reliability and performance for high-traffic services, including SLO/SLA definition, error budgets, and capacity planning
  • Profile, benchmark, and tune critical components to resolve latency, throughput, and scalability bottlenecks in medium-to-large systems (QPS > 10k)
  • Diagnose and solve production traffic problems—load spikes, hot paths, resource contention, and cascading failures
  • Lead system design and provide technical guidance on reliability and performance trade-offs
  • Continuously improve observability (logging, metrics, tracing), incident management, DevOps, and production operational SOPs
  • Lead incident response, troubleshooting, and blameless post-mortems, then drive the follow-up engineering work
  • Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation to ship safely and frequently
  • Lead code reviews to ensure high quality coding and operational standards
  • Mentor engineers and facilitate agile collaboration across cross-functional teams
  • Participate in on-call rotation to ensure product reliability and scalability

  • Familiar with AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Familiar with Git
  • Proactive, with strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills

[Preferred qualifications]

  • BS/MS degree in Computer Science or related field
  • Technical leadership experience, such as mentoring engineers and facilitating agile processes

  • Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker) and infrastructure-as-code / configuration management (Terraform, Ansible)
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD)
  • Expert in some of the following CS domains:
  • Nginx / HAProxy and load balancing
  • Caching strategies and data-intensive application design

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
