I am currently partnering with an elite engineering team building a world-class platform for decentralised and federated computing. They are solving one of the most complex challenges in modern tech: how to process highly sensitive data across global organisations without ever compromising privacy.
They are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer who wants to move beyond standard applications and help architect the infrastructure for the next generation of secure data collaboration.
This is a high-autonomy role where you will own the technical design and lifecycle of production services used by some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical and data-intensive enterprises.
Responsibilities
- Design and evolve high-performance backend systems and APIs, primarily using Golang, with Python integrated for specific domain-driven logic.
- Build and operate software that bridges the gap between Cloud and On-premise environments, utilising Docker and Kubernetes as the backbone for portable, secure workloads.
- Take full-spectrum responsibility for features, from the initial architectural blueprint to production monitoring and scaling.
- Enhance the observability, performance, and security of services running in distributed, resource-intensive environments where data integrity is paramount.
- Work at the intersection of Engineering, ML, and Product to build cohesive, secure systems that enable "AI for good" on a global scale.
- Actively experiment with AI-assisted workflows and emerging developer tools to maintain a peak-efficiency development lifecycle.
- Lead by example through high-quality execution and active participation in rigorous code reviews to uphold engineering standards.
