Staff Backend Developer
We are looking for an experienced Staff Backend Developer to lead a high-impact platform transformation involving large-scale API rewrites, third-party vendor integrations, and backend architecture modernization.

- Improve observability, reliability, and operational excellence
- Mentor engineers and influence technical direction across multiple teams
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and build scalable backend systems using Ruby on Rails or Node.js
- Design robust APIs and backend services for complex business domains
- Consolidate pricing and inventory logic into a unified backend platform
- Establish API contracts, coding standards, and observability practices
- Lead technical decision-making and mentor engineering teams
- Build reliable production systems with strong operational ownership
- Collaborate with product, data, and platform teams to accelerate delivery
Required Skills
- Strong experience with Ruby on Rails or Node.js
- Proven experience operating at Staff Engineer or senior technical leadership level
- Deep expertise in backend architecture, API design, and distributed systems
- Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and MongoDB
- Strong AWS cloud experience
