Backend Software Engineer

Location: Santa Clara

Department: Engineering

Location Type: HYBRID

Employment Type: FULL_TIME

The Role
We are looking for a Generalist Backend Engineer who thrives on building scalable, resilient
distributed systems. In this role, you won’t just be “writing APIs”; you will be building the
backbone of an automation platform that manages high-stakes robotics workloads. You are a
pragmatic coder who values containerization, orchestration, and clean system design.

Key Responsibilities
● Service Development: Design and implement performant microservices in Golang.
● Orchestration: Deploy and manage services within Kubernetes, ensuring high availability
and proper resource management.
● System Integrity: Utilize Docker for consistent environment packaging and NATS or
similar for asynchronous messaging.
● API Design: Build clean, versioned APIs (gRPC/REST) that serve both our frontend and
external integration partners.
● Maintainability: Actively participate in code reviews and contribute to a culture of
automated testing and documentation.
Requirements
● 5+ years of experience in backend development with a focus on distributed systems.
● Core Stack: Professional experience with Go (Golang) in a production environment.
● Cloud Native: Strong proficiency with Docker and Kubernetes.
● Infrastructure Mindset: Familiarity with modern databases (PostgreSQL) and message
brokers (NATS, RabbitMQ).
● Tooling: Experience with CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows.
What This Role Is Not
● This is not a frontend or full-stack role; the focus is 100% on backend systems and
infrastructure.
● This is not a "maintenance-only" role; you will be building new greenfield services.
