Senior Backend Engineer ((Python / Go)

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable and reliable backend microservices using Go
• Collaborate with product managers and front-end teams to define API specifications and integration points
• Ensure services are deployed, monitored, and scaled efficiently in a Kubernetes environment
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and planning sessions
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues, ensuring high availability and performance
• Drive continuous improvement in development processes, tooling, and infrastructure

Must-have skills for a Senior Backend / Microservices Engineer (owner-level)

• Production microservices ownership (not just “worked on”)
• Has owned at least 1–2 services end-to-end (design → build → deploy → on-call → incident fixes → scaling)
• Comfortable with service boundaries, APIs, versioning, backward compatibility, SLAs/SLOs
• System design & architecture (senior bar)
• Can design systems with tradeoffs: latency, throughput, cost, reliability
• Patters: idempotency, retries, timeouts, circuit breakers, async workflows, queues, eventual consistency
• Data design: relational vs NoSQL, caching, indexing, migrations, multi-tenant considerations (if relevant)
• Strong debugging & problem-solving in real-world scenarios
• Can take an ambiguous production issue and drive it to resolution
• Uses a structured approach: reproduce → isolate → instrument → hypothesis → validate → fix → prevent
• Linux fundamentals (practical, daily-use)
• Confident with commands/tools like: ps/top/htop, journalctl, systemctl, netstat/ss, lsof, curl, grep/sed/awk, strace (bonus), log parsing
• Understands networking basics (DNS, TLS, ports, timeouts)
• Docker + container runtime competence
• Can explain Dockerfiles, layers, multi-stage builds, image size/security
• Debug containers: env vars, volumes, entrypoints, networking, resource limits
