About the role:
As a Backend Software Engineer you will be responsible for developing a state-of-the-art SaaS solution that enables enterprises to govern and protect their sensitive data. You will contribute to performance engineering efforts and ensure low-latency and high-throughput transactions at scale. You will participate and be responsible for enforcing best practices in software quality, security, testing and documentation.
We know great software engineers come from diverse backgrounds so no single individual may have all the desired skills on day one. But if you are the kind of software engineer who would have loved to engineer solutions for Stripe or Twilio API's, or the Slack or Zendesk app, or the Snowflake or MongoDB platform - we want to talk to you.
We are looking for a Backend Engineer to help design and build robust, scalable systems. The ideal candidate will have experience with API design, distributed systems, and integrating with external data platforms and services. You’ll closely work with our team to own the architecture and implementation of services that are core to our platform.

Proficient in one or more programming languages like Go (preferred), Java, C, C++, Python
Experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS or Azure)
Experience in performance engineering: developing high-throughput, low-latency systems
Familiarity with data systems (e.g. Bigquery, Snowflake, Kafka)
Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, scalability, and distributed systems
Solid understanding of RESTful design, event driven systems, and security best practices
Experience with continuous integration, writing testable code, and test-driven development
Traits such as being a fast learner, adaptable to changing landscape and most importantly a strong believer in being hands-on
You will
Responsible for designing and developing Privacy APIs and backend infrastructure to support large-scale data and privacy workflows
Own integration with third party and internal data platforms (e.g data warehouses, REST/GraphQL services, message queues)
Ensure system reliability, performance and maintainability
Contribute to performance engineering efforts and ensure low-latency and high-throughput transactions at scale
Participate in building and implementing effective test strategies and developing software with high-agility and zero downtime
Collaborate with engineering, product and infrastructure teams

- What are the limits of Snowflake that you've run into, and how did you work around them?
- What's a project where you used BigQuery hands-on?

Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: Go, Python, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Kafka. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
