With a strong backend focus, this role is centered on building reliable services, improving platform performance, and developing systems that enable our products to scale quickly and confidently.

You’ll play a hands-on role in designing and evolving backend architecture, writing clean and maintainable code, and contributing to technical decisions that shape the future of our platform.
