Senior Distributed Systems Software Engineer

This is a remote position.

Join an advanced engineering team solving mission-critical challenges in distributed systems and large-scale data movement. You’ll help architect and evolve the backbone for platforms serving a diverse global client base, focusing on seamless data synchronization, real-time streaming, and resilient cloud-native infrastructure.

What You'll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain highly scalable, fault-tolerant backend services powering real-time data synchronization and streaming

• Optimize systems for latency, throughput, and reliability to support demanding data transfer workflows

• Guide architectural decisions around multi-region deployment, disaster recovery, and data residency for customers operating worldwide

• Collaborate with both engineering and product stakeholders to deliver practical solutions that directly benefit end users and business needs

• Own projects from concept to production—work with internal and external users to understand requirements and troubleshoot real-world scaling problems

• Continuously monitor, evaluate, and improve platform automation, observability, and incident response techniques

About You

• Experienced in building, scaling, and troubleshooting high-performance distributed systems

• Comfortable working across cloud ecosystems (AWS, GCP, Azure) and various database and messaging technologies

• Skilled in code and systems optimization—excited to address bottlenecks through analysis, experimentation, and iteration

• Able to communicate technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences alike

• Thrive on autonomy and ownership; motivated by delivering high-impact results in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Requirements

Qualifications

• Track record of designing or operating data syncing platforms, streaming event collections, or large-scale backend infrastructure

• Familiar with event-driven architectures, real-time APIs, and cloud-native deployment patterns

• Competent in at least one backend programming language (e.g. Go, Python, Java) with supporting experience in SQL or related tech

• Previous experience supporting a rapidly growing product or service is preferred, but high-impact is valued over years of seniority

Why Join

• Direct ownership on projects affecting global customers

• Work alongside high-performing peers that value autonomy and growth

• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity in a fast-growing platform

• Remote-first environment with a strong focus on outcome and impact
