Backend Engineer

About The Role

Drivetrain is looking for a Backend Engineer to join our team. The role involves working on challenging problems in backend application development, algorithms, system design, and serving in production.

What you’ll be doing

The underlying technical problems are challenging - how do you design abstractions that minimise custom code, as every business is a little different; how do you deal with data scattered across multiple systems and make sense of a large number of moving parts.

You get to work on a cutting edge stack consisting of Java, Spring, Hibernate, Redis, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, and AWS.

As an early team member, you’ll help shape our company culture, engineering practices, and the product.

Requirements

• A great problem solver and is passionate about the craft of building software.
• Has a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and distributed systems.
• Has at least 3 years of experience in software engineering.
• Experience with the above-mentioned stack would be helpful but is not necessary.
• Is aspirational, self-driven, and proactive.
• Has excellent communication skills.
