Job Description
Backend Engineer – Platform
Tinybird
• Working on critical backend services and shared platform components that support ingestion, request routing, caching, reliability, and production operations. • Profiling bottlenecks and improving performance in critical paths. • Reducing operational toil by turning manual or fragile processes into repeatable, well-owned systems. • Helping with incident prevention, operational reviews, and follow-up work after reliability issues. • Keeping key dependencies current and operationally safe. • Improving the observability stack: telemetry, dashboards, alerting, and long-term visibility into system health. • Working on Kubernetes lifecycle tasks, cluster-level infrastructure, or deployment safety. • Improving CI/CD foundations so teams can ship and operate changes with more confidence. • Making development and test environments faster, more stable, and more useful for engineering teams.
Job Requirements
- You have strong experience building backend services, distributed systems, infrastructure components, or high-volume production systems.
- You are highly proficient in **Python**. This is a must for this role.
- You are comfortable working close to production: debugging incidents, understanding system behavior, improving observability, and making services more reliable.
- You enjoy solving low-level and systemic problems, not only shipping new features.
- You care about performance, reliability, cost efficiency, and operational simplicity.
- You are pragmatic: you can move fast when needed, but you know when stability, safety, and maintainability matter more.
- You take **ownership**, follow through, and make progress even when things are not fully defined.
- You like data and SQL, and you are curious about how real-time analytical systems work.
- You communicate clearly in writing. This matters because we work asynchronously, document decisions, write operational notes, and share context across teams.
- You use **AI tools** like Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, or others to move faster, stay unblocked, and improve the way you work.
- You are fluent in **English and Spanish**. English is the main language we use at Tinybird, and Spanish is the day-to-day language of the Platform team.
- You are willing to participate in on-call rotations, not only to keep the service healthy, but also to understand the real problems our customers and internal teams face.
Benefits
- 22 days of holiday a year (plus your birthday and public holidays).
- Freedom to work from wherever suits you best.
- We provide up to €2,400 to help you set up your home work space.
