As a Senior Software Engineer (Backend) at SalesRabbit, you will build the robust, scalable backbone of our industry-leading field sales management platform. You will solve complex backend challenges, architect for high-throughput traffic, and serve as a technical multiplier who elevates the entire team through excellence and mentorship.
What You'll Do
- Design and build high-performing, distributed APIs and microservices that scale to handle heavy traffic.
- Design efficient database schemas and optimize complex queries for large, interconnected datasets.
- Write testable, maintainable code with a bias toward self-documenting practices.
- Build systems with deep observability (metrics, logging, tracing) to support reliable operations.
- Approach all work with a security lens, identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring high-quality, secure deployments.
- Utilize pragmatic architecture patterns (abstractions, code isolation) that enable iterative, autonomous development.
- Leverage cloud infrastructure and modern practices to support continuous release cycles and safe experimentation.
- Use data and sound judgment to propose technical approaches and reduce technical debt.
- Mentor teammates through thoughtful code reviews and pairing to build team redundancy and raise quality.
- Partner with Product and Design to whiteboard solutions and validate feasibility before code is written.
- Document wins and fails to share patterns and improvements with the wider engineering team.
- Champion AI-augmented engineering to reduce 'grunt work' without sacrificing quality or security.
What We're Looking For
- 5 to 8+ years of backend engineering experience in a high-growth SaaS or product environment.
- Built and maintained software that supports rapid, continuous release cycles.
- Experience building high-performing APIs and microservices that scale to handle heavy traffic.
- Strong SQL skills, including database schema design and query optimization for large datasets.
- Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS or GCP) and modern deployment practices (containerization, CI/CD).
- Experience working in Agile teams with end-to-end ownership.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with cross-functional partners.
Nice to Have
- Experience designing distributed systems for high-throughput traffic and heavy data workloads.
- Deep experience with observability practices (metrics, logging, tracing) and production troubleshooting.
- Strong security mindset, including vulnerability identification and secure deployment practices.
- Experience mentoring engineers through code reviews, pairing, and documentation.
- Experience using AI tools to improve engineering velocity while maintaining quality standards.
