Senior Software Engineer, Distributed Systems (Core)

About the Role

Join a backend engineering team building and improving the distributed systems behind a data syncing platform. You will help move large volumes of customer data reliably and efficiently across a global, multi-cloud and multi-region infrastructure.

What You'll Do

Analyze and optimize the syncing pipeline to increase throughput and reduce sync times. Develop systems that support real-time and streaming data syncs from sources such as webhooks and queues. Identify scaling and reliability bottlenecks, then design systems to support significant growth. Build and improve low-latency data services for real-time personalization use cases. Extend multi-region and multi-cloud infrastructure to support global availability and data residency needs. Own projects end to end and work with customers on challenging scaling problems.

What We're Looking For

At least 7 years of software engineering experience, including substantial hands-on distributed systems work. Strong backend engineering and systems design fundamentals, with experience operating systems through major growth. Experience building event collection, data streaming, or data movement services that support critical systems. Working knowledge of message queues, Kafka, SQL databases, Kubernetes, and Docker. Experience moving large data volumes at scale; familiarity with infrastructure-level tools and systems such as Spark, Flink, or Kafka is beneficial. Clear communication skills, sound technical judgment, and an ownership-oriented approach. Strong computer science fundamentals and a background primarily in backend systems rather than data engineering or DevOps. Compensation & Benefits Base salary: $180,000 to $320,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available. Location Remote within the United States. Primary location: United States.
