We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to be part of squads developing features by proving simple yet performant interfaces and ensuring long term stability and scalability.

We are in a stage when it's important to build strong foundation and prepare for scaling in the upcoming years. We'll have to scale our GraphQL API to handle millions of requests per day, while monitoring and keeping a low error rates. You'll work closely with the product team to make a faster experience, and develop features such as a comprehensive updates log on notes, public sharing and commenting.
