👀 The Role

Title: Senior Backend Engineer

Team: Platform Engineering

Location: Remote / Australia

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help evolve the systems that power Midnite as we scale across markets and regions.

This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who enjoys working close to the core of a product platform: understanding how systems fit together, improving boundaries and reliability, and building the technical foundations that help teams move faster and safer.

You’ll work across backend and platform systems, partnering closely with the Australia team and the wider global Platform group. You will not just be building product features; you’ll be working on the systems underneath them: service boundaries, data separation, interfaces, reliability, deployment, and scalability.

This role suits someone who can take high-level direction, work independently through ambiguity, and drive complex technical projects forward without needing every detail defined upfront.

Technical 💻

Our platform is primarily built in Python and hosted on AWS, incorporating Flask/FastAPI, Pytest, Mypy, Docker, PostgreSQL, SQS/Kafka, S3, and Terraform. We deploy daily.
