Job Type: Full-time

We are looking for an accomplished Principal Backend Engineer with deep expertise in microservices, scalable backend architecture, low-latency systems, and high-performance application development. This role is suited for a senior technology professional who can combine hands-on engineering with architectural ownership and technical leadership.

The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in Python, Node.js and/or Golang, MongoDB, distributed systems, algorithms, solution design, and scalable application architecture, with the ability to make critical technical decisions and guide engineering teams toward robust solutions.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement low-latency, highly available, scalable, and high-performance backend applications.
  • Own the architecture and technical direction of assigned modules and services.
  • Design, develop, and evolve microservices-based architectures for large-scale applications.
  • Write clean, reusable, testable, maintainable, and efficient production-grade code.
  • Develop backend services using Python, Node.js, Golang, or similar modern technologies.
  • Design and implement APIs and server-side application logic to support user-facing products.
  • Collaborate with frontend developers to integrate user-facing components with robust server-side services.
  • Design and integrate MongoDB and other data-storage solutions based on application requirements.
  • Integrate multiple data sources, databases, external services, and internal systems into scalable backend architectures.
  • Evaluate system design choices with a focus on performance, scalability, reliability, maintainability, and cost.
  • Apply strong algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving approaches to complex engineering challenges.
  • Make timely and pragmatic technical decisions while balancing product requirements and engineering constraints.
  • Define and communicate technical approaches, architecture decisions, design principles, and implementation strategies to relevant stakeholders.
  • Implement appropriate security, data-protection, authentication, authorisation, and compliance practices.
  • Ensure backend systems follow scalable application and software-design principles.
  • Identify performance bottlenecks and drive optimisation across application and infrastructure layers.
  • Establish coding standards, testing practices, design patterns, and engineering best practices.
  • Conduct technical reviews and contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews, and engineering standards.
  • Mentor senior and junior engineers and provide technical guidance on complex backend problems.
  • Continuously evaluate technologies and approaches that can improve system performance, reliability, and developer productivity.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • 13+ years of experience in backend software engineering, distributed systems, microservices, or large-scale application development.
  • Strong hands-on experience designing and implementing microservices architectures.
  • Deep expertise in Python, Node.js, and/or Golang.
  • Strong experience with MongoDB and NoSQL database technologies.
  • Excellent understanding of algorithms, data structures, solution architecture, and complex problem-solving.
  • Proven experience designing scalable, highly available, low-latency, and performance-sensitive applications.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, API design, service integration, and backend architecture.
  • Experience integrating multiple data sources, databases, APIs, and external systems.
  • Strong knowledge of fundamental software and system-design principles for scalable applications.
  • Experience with server-side templating and CSS preprocessors is an advantage.
  • Strong understanding of application security, data protection, accessibility, and security compliance.
  • Strong coding standards with a focus on reusable, testable, maintainable, and efficient software.
  • Proven ability to take architectural ownership of modules and drive solutions from design through production.
  • Excellent technical communication skills with the ability to articulate complex approaches to engineering and business stakeholders.
  • Strong leadership, decision-making, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Ability to balance hands-on engineering with architecture, technical strategy, and team-level influence.

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

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
