Title: Senior Software Engineer - Backend Location: San Mateo, CA or Bellevue, WA Job Description: Company Description Organizations everywhere struggle under the crushing costs and complexities of "solutions" that promise to simplify their lives. To create a better experience for their customers and employees. To help them grow. Software is a choice that can make or break a business. Create better or worse experiences. Propel or throttle growth. Business software has become a blocker instead of ways to get work done. There's another option. Freshworks. With a fresh vision for how the world works. Freshworks Inc. builds uncomplicated service software that delivers exceptional employee and customer experiences. Our people-first approach to AI eliminates friction, helping businesses reduce complexity, lower cost-to-serve, and deliver faster, more human support through enterprise-grade yet easy-to-use CX and IT solutions.

Requirements - 3 to 5 years of experience building and scaling backend systems in fast-paced product teams. - Ruby on Rails proficiency. - Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA): Expertise in selecting optimal data structures and developing efficient, optimized code including time/space complexity trade-offs. Deep knowledge of REST APIs. - Problem Solving & Logical Analysis: Ability to clearly articulate thought processes, decompose complex problems, and engineer effective solutions. - Object-Oriented Design (OOD): Strong command of OOP principles, designing extensible code, and applying SOLID principles. - System Design (High-Level Design - HLD & LLD): Proven ability to contribute to design scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant end-to-end systems, including APIs, schema, and data models. - Exposure to RDBMS, caching strategies, distributed queues, and microservices. - Exposure and experience with AI tools and technologies to improve efficiency - Ownership & Collaboration: Demonstrates strong ownership, collaborates effectively. Qualifications - Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field. - You're skilled at balancing fast delivery with long-term scalability. - You think clearly in code and architecture diagrams. - You've shipped features at scale and supported them in production. - You love working in collaborative, agile teams. Please note: This is a hybrid role that will be based in San Mateo, CA or Bellevue, WA and requires an in-office presence three days per week (Tuesday - Thursday). Additional Information The annual base salary range for this position is $136,000 - $168,000. Compensation is based on a variety of factors including but not limited to location, experience, job-related skills, and level. Bonus/equity may be available. Freshworks offers multiple options for dental, medical, vision, disability and life insurances. Equity + ESPP, flexible PTO, flexible spending, commuter benefits and wellness benefits are also offered. Freshworks also offers adoption and parental leave benefits. At Freshworks, we have fostered an environment that enables everyone to find their true potential, purpose, and passion, welcoming colleagues of all backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, religions, and ethnicities. We are committed to providing equal opportunity and believe that diversity in the workplace creates a more vibrant, richer environment that boosts the goals of our employees, communities, and business.
