Job Description
Senior Software Engineer – Backend
Octave
• Design, develop, and implement scalable and robust backend systems and APIs using Python. • Optimize database schemas, queries, and overall performance while maintaining security and data integrity. • Lead debugging, profiling, and monitoring of backend services, proactively identifying and addressing issues before they impact users. • Participate in technical design and architecture discussions, making well-reasoned tradeoffs for system performance, scalability, and maintainability without guidance. • Drive adoption of best practices for testing, code quality, documentation, and observability across backend systems. • Own features or subsystems end-to-end, from design through deployment and monitoring, ensuring robust, maintainable implementations. • Produce clean, readable, and well-tested code, making thoughtful decisions about when to add comments versus relying on self-documenting patterns. • Serve as a subject-matter expert in a portion of the backend domain, providing guidance, code review, and mentorship to other engineers. • Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into scalable backend solutions. • Partner with frontend and other teams to ensure seamless integration and high-quality delivery of full-stack features. • Mentor and support engineers through pairing, design reviews, and technical guidance. • Proactively surface risks, ambiguities, or technical limitations in project requirements, contributing to early course correction. • Communicate effectively, clearly, and concisely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Contribute to team practices, processes, and documentation to improve efficiency and knowledge sharing.
