• Design, build, and maintain backend services for device connectivity, telemetry ingest, health monitoring, and command/control operations — using AI (Claude Code) as a first-class collaborator in your daily development workflow. • Use agentic workflows to dramatically increase delivery velocity without sacrificing quality: from generating service scaffolding, to writing and validating test coverage, to triage and root cause analysis during incidents. • Help define and codify AI-native engineering practices for the Devices Cloud team — establishing patterns the broader org can adopt. • Collaborate with firmware, mobile, and product teams to define APIs and workflows for device-driven features. • Build and own data pipelines for high-throughput telemetry streams using Kafka or similar streaming technologies. • Deliver scalable, resilient microservices on AWS (EKS, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, etc.). • Instrument services for observability, reliability, and SLO compliance. • Participate in on-call rotation and live incident response. • Write clean, testable, performant code; contribute to CI/CD automation and improve team-wide engineering standards. • Mentor teammates and help evolve the team's AI-native engineering culture.

• Design and build high-quality features integrating third party data and systems. • Work with AI (Claude Code) as a first-class collaborator — your primary workflow involves orchestrating agents to create specs, generate code and tests, verify results, and perform reviews. • Help define and codify AI-Native engineering practices for the Foundry team, establishing playbooks the broader org can adopt. • Build across the full stack as needed — shipping polished, performant, and reliable experiences to tens of millions of users. • Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to turn complex user problems into elegant, scalable engineering solutions. • Contribute to architectural decisions, code reviews, and a culture of craft and continuous improvement. • Participate in on-call rotation and incident response. • Use agentic workflows to dramatically increase the delivery of strong outcomes — moving faster without sacrificing quality. • Mentor team members and contribute to team processes, technical standards, and help evolve the team's AI-native engineering practices. • Support performance, reliability, and accessibility across the features you own.

• Focus on the design and implementation of technical systems to meet business and legal / regulatory requirements • Extend, optimize, and support the production of existing software solutions • Build stable, efficient, testable, and reusable services • Solve complex performance problems and architectural challenges • Lead the entire application/service development life cycle right from concept stage to delivery and post launch support • Translating software requirements into stable, working, high performance software

Backend Engineer (Platform / Infra) — High-Growth Gaming Startup - Mid to Senior Level Role Location: Remote (US-based, must be available for 9:30am ET standup) Compensation: $145,000–$160,000 base + equity Experience Level: 5+ years professional experience required About the Company Our client is a fast-growing, venture-backed gaming startup operating at the intersection of real-money gaming and the creator economy. With a core product already in market and generating significant revenue, they're expanding their engineering team to meet demand and build out the next generation of features. This is a high-stakes, high-impact opportunity to work on a social casino product used by thousands of players around the clock. The founding team is composed of seasoned entrepreneurs and engineers with backgrounds in crypto, gaming, and consumer tech — and they’re backed by top-tier investors. The Role This is not your average backend engineering role. You’ll join a small, elite team building infrastructure that must perform at scale and handle real-money transactions with zero room for error. The ideal candidate is a pragmatic builder who enjoys solving hard backend problems, thrives in high-trust environments, and wants to own critical parts of a fast-moving system. You’ll work across a variety of areas — from scaling APIs and architecting new features to integrating gaming vendors and optimizing database performance. No red tape, just great engineering and high-impact work. What You’ll Do - Design and build backend services, APIs, and integrations with third-party vendors. - Tackle high-throughput challenges related to concurrency, state, and scale. - Collaborate with frontend engineers and DevOps to deliver end-to-end product features. - Write performant, raw SQL queries (no ORMs used here) and reason deeply about data models. - Help shape the technical direction of the product and infrastructure. - Participate in code reviews and architecture discussions. - Work remotely with autonomy — only one required daily meeting (9:30am ET standup). What We’re Looking For - 5+ years of backend engineering experience. - Proficiency in any modern backend language (e.g., TypeScript, Go, Java, Python, Rust). - Solid experience with SQL and relational databases — you should be comfortable writing raw queries and understanding database internals. - Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and fundamentals of networking, caching, and scaling systems under heavy load. - Strong grasp of API design, web protocols (HTTP, REST), and common web security standards (JWT, cookies, etc.). - Git/GitHub fluency and confidence working in a terminal-based dev environment. - Self-starter mindset — you don’t need handholding to make progress. Bonus Points For - Experience with: TypeScript, Postgres, Redis, AWS, Kubernetes. - Background in real-money gaming, gambling, or crypto (especially at product-focused companies like Coinbase, Kraken, etc.). - Degree in Computer Science, Math, or a related field — or equivalent experience backed by strong signals (e.g. brand-name startups, standout technical interviews). Why This Role Is Exciting - Remote-first and flexible. The team cares about outcomes, not hours — as long as you're present for the one required meeting each day. - Greenfield opportunities. There’s room to shape architecture, tooling, and process from the ground up. - Top-tier backers + market traction. The company is operating in one of the most profitable industries on earth — and they’re already live with real users and revenue. - Founding-team quality. You’ll work with some of the most capable operators in the space, all with prior startup successes under their belts. Interview Process - Step 1: 45-minute technical deep-dive with the hiring manager. - Step 2: Paired coding session via CoderPad. - Step 3: 30-minute call with leadership. - That’s it. No take-homes, no hoops. Note: This role is only open to candidates based in the U.S. at this time. Sponsorship is not available. Must be available for standup at 9:30 AM EST.
