Position: Senior Backend Developer
Location: Bangalore
Working Days: 5 (Mon-Fri)
Experience Required: 4-7 Years
At Our Client, backend powers everything from event discovery and ticket bookings to payments, notifications, and real-time user experiences. As they scale, they need systems that are fast, reliable, and built to handle high traffic.
They are looking for a backend engineer who enjoys solving distributed systems challenges, writing clean and scalable code, and taking ownership of critical services from design to production.
Real responsibilities, not a wish list
- Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services using Golang.
- Develop APIs and microservices that power customer-facing products.
- Build secure, reliable, and high-performance systems for large-scale traffic.
- Optimize application performance, database queries, and system reliability.
- Design scalable architectures and contribute to technical decisions.
- Troubleshoot production issues and improve system observability.
- Work closely with Product, Frontend, DevOps, and QA teams to ship features.
- Participate in code reviews and mentor junior engineers.
- Drive engineering best practices around testing, documentation, and deployment.
Specific experience, not vague credentials
- 4 to 7 years of backend development experience, including 3 or more years with Golang.
- Strong understanding of REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
- Experience with relational and non-relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis.
- Familiarity with message queues such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar.
- Experience deploying and operating applications on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Strong understanding of system design, scalability, and performance optimization.
- Ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive complex backend projects.
- Experience building high-scale consumer internet, fintech, marketplace, or ticketing platforms.
- Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with caching strategies, monitoring, and observability tooling.
- Genuine interest in live entertainment, events, or consumer technology.
How we know this is the right fit
- You write code you would want to maintain two years later. Long-term scalability matters here. The systems you build now will carry the load of a much bigger product.
- You think about reliability from day one. A dropped payment or a missed notification is a broken fan experience. You design systems that handle failure gracefully.
- You take features all the way. From design to deployment, you own the outcome. Handoff culture does not work at this stage.
- You communicate clearly across teams. Frontend needs to understand your API contracts. Product needs to understand your constraints. You bridge that gap without friction.
- You thrive when priorities shift. Live entertainment does not follow a predictable roadmap. You adapt without losing momentum.
