About the role:
As a Backend Software Engineer you will be responsible for developing a state-of-the-art SaaS solution that enables enterprises to govern and protect their sensitive data. You will contribute to performance engineering efforts and ensure low-latency and high-throughput transactions at scale. You will participate and be responsible for enforcing best practices in software quality, security, testing and documentation.

We are looking for a Backend Engineer to help design and build robust, scalable systems. The ideal candidate will have experience with API design, distributed systems, and integrating with external data platforms and services.

Familiarity with data systems (e.g. Bigquery, Snowflake, Kafka)
Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, scalability, and distributed systems
Solid understanding of RESTful design, event driven systems, and security best practices
Experience with continuous integration, writing testable code, and test-driven development
Traits such as being a fast learner, adaptable to changing landscape and most importantly a strong believer in being hands-on
You will
Responsible for designing and developing Privacy APIs and backend infrastructure to support large-scale data and privacy workflows
