Description

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients Min Experience: 1 years Location: Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad JobType: full-time We are looking for a skilled Backend / Software / Platform Engineer to help build and scale robust, high-performance backend systems for modern products. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy working close to core infrastructure, distributed systems, and event-driven architectures. You will play a key role in designing reliable services that power mission-critical applications in a fast-moving startup or SaaS environment. Key Responsibilities Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services using Go or Java, following clean architecture and best engineering practices. Develop and operate event-driven systems using Kafka, including producers, consumers, and stream-based workflows. Own the full lifecycle of backend components—from design and development to deployment, monitoring, and optimization. Collaborate with product managers, architects, and fellow engineers to translate business requirements into reliable backend solutions. Improve system performance, reliability, and scalability by identifying bottlenecks and implementing efficient solutions. Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code with a strong focus on quality and long-term sustainability. Participate in code reviews and technical discussions to uphold engineering standards and share knowledge across the team. Contribute to platform stability through observability, logging, and proactive incident resolution. Support continuous improvement by refining APIs, improving data flows, and strengthening system integrations. What Makes You a Great Fit 1–5 years of hands-on experience building backend or platform systems in production environments. Strong proficiency in Go or Java, with a solid understanding of backend design patterns and concurrency concepts. Practical experience with Kafka and asynchronous, message-driven architectures. Good understanding of distributed systems, microservices, and backend scalability challenges. Comfort working with databases, APIs, and backend integrations, even in evolving or ambiguous problem spaces. A strong engineering mindset—curious, detail-oriented, and driven to build reliable systems rather than quick fixes. Ability to work effectively in a startup or SaaS environment where ownership, speed, and adaptability matter. Clear communication skills and a collaborative attitude when working with cross-functional teams. Passion for backend engineering and platform development, with no reliance on frontend, QA, or ML work to define your impact.
