Backend Software Engineer

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build and maintain server-side systems, third-party integrations and data processing services for a software platform. The role covers backend engineering across a shared data layer, cloud infrastructure and production operations, with a focus on shipping quickly and resolving live issues.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain backend services and integrations with a large number of third-party software platforms.
• Design and develop core components that process large volumes of event data through streaming pipelines.
• Build data features such as scoring, outlier detection and time-series rollups within a shared multi-tenant data layer.
• Manage cloud infrastructure, including deployment pipelines, monitoring and observability.
• Ship features on a weekly cadence, debug production issues, and occasionally speak directly with customers.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience.
• Deep hands-on experience with Go and with endpoint software on desktop operating systems.
• Strong backend experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup.
• Experience with systems internals and platform engineering.
• A quantified record of production scale and ownership in recent work.
• High agency, with a self-directed approach, a bias for action and clear thinking.
• Ability to explain architectural decisions, not just the tasks completed.

Bonus points

• Experience running LLM-based features in production.
