About the role As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will design, implement, and evolve product capabilities while solving high-scope backend problems and influencing the technical and product direction of our teams. You will move beyond "assigned work" to actively improve the quality, reliability, and performance of our systems. You will work across product, frontend, infrastructure, data, and security boundaries, making sound architectural trade-offs, communicating complex ideas clearly in an asynchronous environment, and helping define the standards for a high-scale, global product. Why you’ll love this role High Impact: You aren't just shipping features; you are shaping the architecture of a global platform used by millions. Technical Agency: You will influence team objectives, technical direction, and long-range goals, helping us solve problems of high scope and complexity. Innovative Culture: You will get to experiment with and integrate agentic AI into production engineering workflows, moving beyond simple prompt engineering to build resilient, AI-assisted systems. Autonomy: You will thrive in our remote-first, asynchronous organization, where clear written communication and self-direction are the pillars of success. User-Centric Collaboration: You’ll partner closely with PMs and designers to shape requirements, ensuring every technical decision delivers genuine value to our users. What you’ll do Drive Technical Direction: Design and ship moderate to complex backend features with minimal guidance, making pragmatic choices between modular-monolith code, shared components, or independently operated services. Raise the Bar: Advocate for product quality, security, availability, and performance. You will define backend standards for style, maintainability, testing, APIs, and operational readiness. Mentor & Lead: Mentor associate and intermediate engineers, remove technical blockers, and improve team delivery practices through code and design reviews. Operational Excellence: Diagnose and prevent performance/reliability issues at scale. Participate in incident response and act as a technical owner where appropriate. AI Integration: Use AI in production engineering work to improve outcomes, evaluate its effectiveness, and coach others on responsible, high-judgment use. What you’ll bring Deep Backend Expertise: A strong command of backend architecture, APIs, data systems, and performance tuning in a complex product or service environment. Adaptability: Proficiency in modern backend languages and a deep understanding of systems programming. We value the ability to learn and adapt over mastery of a single language. Architectural Judgment: Experience designing or evolving modular backend boundaries, bounded contexts, and migration-safe architectures. Influence: Ability to lead through influence, technical judgment, and clear written communication, effectively bridging the gap between product needs and technical reality. Agentic AI Expertise: Proven experience building or operating agentic systems in production—moving beyond prompt engineering to architecting loops, tool-use, and error-handling strategies that ensure reliability at scale. Helpful experience Experience with high-throughput distributed systems, concurrency, or profiling. Hands-on experience with containerized production operations (e.g., Kubernetes). Deep database performance knowledge (e.g., PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, schema evolution, partitioning). Background in large-scale modular monoliths or event-driven systems. Public technical communication, open-source maintenance, or experience in developer-focused SaaS.

About the role As an Intermediate Backend Engineer, you will take backend features and improvements from clarifying the problem through shipping them and following up in production. You will work within a product area, partnering with Product Management, Frontend, Infrastructure, and Security to deliver predictably and contribute to the quality, security, performance, and maintainability of shared backend code and services. You will be trusted to work with minimal guidance, to know when to seek help, and to communicate clearly in a remote, asynchronous environment — with other tenured engineers alongside you to review your work, think through hard problems with you, and help you grow. Why you’ll love this role Ownership: You'll take features from requirements through delivery and follow-up; your code will run on a platform used by millions of users. Learning and Growth : You’ll work alongside your engineering team, who treat code review and design review as a learning loop rather than a gate — one of the fastest ways to grow your engineering judgment. Innovative Culture: You’ll use AI as a genuine part of daily engineering work, developing the judgment to know when to trust it and when not to.

Build for Production: Write maintainable, secure, observable, and performant code. Design and maintain APIs, background jobs, integrations, and bounded service functionality, and work with data models, migrations, indexes, and query behavior. Test and Review: Add and improve automated coverage — unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end where appropriate — and review others’ code for correctness, maintainability, security, performance, and operational risk. Operate What You Build: Investigate build, test, deployment, and runtime failures at the feature boundary, identify technical debt and propose practical improvements, and take part in on-call or operational support where your team’s ownership model requires it. Leverage AI: Use AI productively in daily work, validate what it produces, and understand where its limitations matter. What you’ll bring Backend Fundamentals: Professional experience building and shipping production backend applications, with strong programming, API, database, testing, debugging, and performance fundamentals. Adaptability: Experience with Ruby/Rails, Go, or any other modern backend language. We value the ability to learn and adapt over mastery of a single language. Feature Ownership: The ability to take a feature from clarification through delivery and follow-up, working independently while seeking input at the right time. Practical Judgment: Sound instincts about security, reliability, performance, maintainability, and operational risk, plus an understanding of modular backend boundaries and the consequences of coupling. Clear Communication: Strong written communication and effective collaboration in a remote, asynchronous environment. AI Fluency: Practical experience with AI coding tools, including the ability to review and correct what they generate. Helpful experience Production Go services, APIs, concurrency, profiling, or gRPC. Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, CI/CD, or cloud deployment. Rust, particularly for systems, security, performance, or platform work. PostgreSQL, schema evolution, caching, queues, messaging, or event-driven workflows.

ARMO closes the gap between development and security, giving development, DevOps, and DevSecOps the flexibility and ease to ensure high grade security and data protection no matter the environment – cloud native, hybrid, or legacy.

A year of running AI agents across platform engineering and DevSecOps. What I found auditing our own skill library, why visibility was never the bottleneck, and how I now split agent work between delegate, assist and approve, AI Agents Taught Me About Future of DevOps.
