Main Responsibilities

  • Build, extend, and own security-facing backend services (breach detection, email masking, and related tooling) with a high bar for quality, performance, and correctness.
  • Use AI-assisted workflows daily (code generation, test scaffolding, debugging, performance tuning) and continuously evaluate new tooling that can improve the squad's output.
  • Help establish shared AI practices within the team: review patterns, prompt libraries, and guardrails so AI-generated code meets the same standard as hand-written code.
  • Participate in system design and architectural decisions, advocating for solutions that are secure, scalable, and maintainable.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Frontend, Android, iOS, and Backend engineers to deliver end-to-end features across all platforms.

  • Solid grasp of system design. You know which patterns fit which problems and can articulate trade-offs clearly.
  • Strong understanding of OOP, asynchronous programming, and design patterns.
  • Comfortable with CI/CD pipelines, unit testing, and integration testing as non-negotiable parts of shipping.
  • Clear, proactive communicator who works well in a cross-functional environment.
