About the Role

We are building the next generation of our CPaaS platform, a robust ecosystem powering multi-channel communication services. Our platform supports global traffic across SMS, Email, Voice, WhatsApp, LINE, RCS, Passkey, and advanced Authentication services. We are looking for a highly skilled Backend Engineer to drive the scalability, reliability, and evolution of these services within a high-autonomy, fast-paced R&D environment.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and optimize microservices powering multi-channel communication workloads.
  • Build and enhance backend capabilities supporting messaging, identity, verification, and communication APIs.
  • Develop high-throughput, low-latency services for global CPaaS traffic.
  • Design schemas, optimize queries, and ensure peak performance across databases.
  • Deploy and operate services on Kubernetes, ensuring resilience, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
  • Build clean, scalable REST APIs and contribute to API-first product architecture.
  • Manage version-controlled pipelines for build validation, automated testing, and safe deployments.
  • Utilize LLM-based tools (e.g., Claude, Codex) to improve code quality, automate documentation, and accelerate development workflows.
  • Ensure system visibility using Grafana, Prometheus, and structured logging.
  • Partner with Product Managers, QA, DevOps/SRE, and UI/UX teams to deliver high-quality features.
  • Uphold coding standards, conduct code reviews, and drive continuous improvement of engineering practices.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on backend development experience.
  • Strong proficiency in Java or Golang.
  • Expertise with Postgres and MySQL.
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerization.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred).
  • Experience with Microservices and API-first system design.
  • Proficient in leveraging LLM-based tools for coding, automation, and workflow acceleration.
  • Advanced English proficiency (strong communication, documentation, and collaboration skills).
  • Domain experience with communication protocols (SMPP, SIP, REST APIs, WebRTC).
  • Experience across multiple CPaaS domains (SMS, Email, Voice, Passkey, Auth Services, WhatsApp, LINE, RCS, etc.).
  • Proven ability to work effectively in fast-moving, high-autonomy environments.
