As a Senior Back-end/API Engineer, you'll be instrumental to delivering fast, robust, and easy-to-use APIs to our customers and internal stake-holders. You'll help decide what technologies we use to make backend performance and database communication blazing fast, and you'll help craft testing strategies to make sure uptime is 100% and bugs in production don't happen.
