As a Backend Principal Engineer, you will build new and exciting components in an evolving market technology landscape, developing high-quality, production-ready code used by millions of users. You will make critical design decisions based on performance, scalability, and future expansion while working on a microservice, multi-tenant SaaS cloud environment.

You will contribute to all phases of the software development lifecycle including design, implementation, code reviews, automation, and testing. Building efficient components and algorithms in a distributed systems context is a core expectation. You will also mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and provide technical guidance to the broader team.

The role demands deep expertise in distributed systems and services-oriented architecture, mastery of multiple programming languages (Java, Python, Scala, Go, Node.JS), and strong RDBMS experience with SQL Server, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. You should be proficient with queues, locks, scheduling, event-driven architecture, workload distribution, and both relational and non-relational databases.

Experience developing SaaS applications on public cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP) is required. Preferred experience includes working with NoSQL databases like Cassandra or HBase, search technologies like Elasticsearch, and open-source projects such as Kafka, Spark, or Zookeeper.
