Senior Backend Infrastructure Engineer (GCP)

By changing the way people explore restaurants, Beli has emerged as one of the fastest-growing consumer platforms in the country. Beli helps people build organized restaurant lists and maps, share them with friends, and discover new spots around the world according to their personal taste.

We’re building a highly personalized consumer platform with real-time social activity, recommendation systems, maps, and large-scale data infrastructure. As our user base grows rapidly, we’re investing heavily in scalability, reliability, security, and developer infrastructure.

Engineering Collaboration

  • Partner closely with product and engineering teams to support new feature development
  • Help establish engineering best practices and technical standards

Why it works

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.
