Your Benefits:

• Join one of the most driven, innovative and well funded Startups growing to a Scaleup.
• Lead the design and evolution of one of the most innovative asynchronous processing systems.
• Join a team with the most excellent software developers around the globe.
• Work for a market leader.
• Work from several offices around the globe; or from home within EU.
• Build a first class software tool having worked with tools like Go, Python, Node, C++, JavaScript, Celery, Sidekiq, BullMQ, SQS, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Google Pub/Sub, Airflow, Temporal, Argo, Prometheurs, Grafana, OpenTelemetry.

Your Responsibilities:

You operate at the intersection of deep system design, hands-on implementation, and technical leadership to design fault-tolerant, observable, and cost-efficient systems that support distributed workloads:

• You architect pipelines that support retry strategies, dynamic task routing, prioritization, rate limiting, and idempotency at scale.
• You drive the design of scheduling systems for recurring or trigger-based workflows (cron, event-based, user-initiated).
• You build systems that support both real-time and batch data processing use cases with observability built in.
• You own end-to-end lifecycle of background workers, queues, schedulers, and task orchestration logic.
• You drive capacity planning, performance tuning, and operational efficiency (latency, throughput, infra cost).
• You build dashboards and alerting for job failures, stuck queues, throughput anomalies, and retry storms.
• You set the technical direction for how the ream processes, prioritizes, and schedules work internally.
• You mentor senior engineers and contribute to elevating engineering standards and architecture reviews.

Your Profile:

• Minimum of 8 years of work experience in cloud infrastructure software engineering.
• Minimum of 2 years of work experience at the same company within large-scale asynchronous workflow systems.
• Expert in queueing systems.
• Proficient in designing distributed schedulers.
• Know how to make asynchronous systems idempotent, traceable, and fault-tolerant.
• Understand retry strategies (exponential backoff, circuit breakers), deduplication, and concurrency control.
• Fluent in Golang and Python.
• Strong expertise in time-series monitoring, metrics, tracing, and log pipelines.
• Experience with multi-cloud deployment strategies.
• Built your own workflow engine, job scheduler, or orchestration system.
• First experience as a technical lead.
• Comfortable working in a low-hierarchy environment and eager to take ownership.
• Fluent in English.
• Thrive in a remote work setting.
