Backend Software Engineer

Raydar is recruiting for a backend software engineering role on behalf of a fast-growing software company.

• Collaborate with backend, product and infrastructure peers to convert loosely defined requests into clear technical plans

What they're looking for:

• Roughly 1 to 3 years building and releasing backend software in production, or a standout recent graduate with a strong project portfolio
• Strong grounding in services, APIs, data modeling and infrastructure that prioritizes reliability, monitoring and performance
• Hands-on experience delivering a substantial project, professional or personal, and an appreciation of what it takes to move from prototype to dependable system
• Comfort with a high-ownership setting where you drive work forward with growing autonomy
• Willingness to help across the stack while staying backend-focused
• Experience running and evaluating complex automated pipelines in production
• Prior work alongside full-stack teams
• Awareness of enterprise-level security expectations
• Habit of using modern tooling throughout the development process to work faster without losing quality
