SDE-2 (Backend)

Who we want

You’re someone who cares about clean APIs, scalable services, and code that never lies about freshness . You’ve got solid fundamentals, you can design and debug with confidence, and you’re excited about mentoring junior engineers.

If speed, ownership, and food analogies don’t scare you, you’ll fit right in.

Your playground

• Implement backend services and APIs in Java + Spring Boot (or whatever helps us ship fast and right).
• Design efficient schemas and write SQL that doesn’t make DBs cry.
• Build and maintain event-driven flows (Kafka, PubSub), background jobs, and transactional ops.
• Write high-quality tests, review PRs, and raise the quality bar for the team.
• Debug and fix production issues like you mean it.
• Work closely with product and ops to turn requirements into resilient systems.
• Mentor SDE-1s and help build engineering culture.
