About the Role
Swish Analytics is seeking a Senior Backend Software Engineer to take technical ownership of core backend products, drive work across team boundaries, and help the team make sound architecture and engineering decisions. The Software Engineering team builds and operates the backend systems that deliver Swish’s data products to clients, spanning high-traffic APIs, microservices, data stream processing, developer tooling, database optimization, observability, and Kubernetes workloads.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the technical lead and owner for core backend products, guiding work from design through implementation and production operation
- Design and improve high-traffic, client-facing APIs and microservices, with attention to latency, availability, and correctness
- Identify performance and scalability bottlenecks across applications, databases, and service dependencies, and deliver improvements supported by production measurements
- Develop services that process real-time and distributed data, working with upstream teams to understand dependencies and failure modes
- Create and review architecture designs, documenting important tradeoffs and explaining them to technical and nontechnical partners
- Review code, provide constructive feedback, and improve coding standards, testing practices, and maintainability
- Improve observability and automation so engineers can detect problems, investigate incidents, and operate services effectively
- Contribute to shared tooling, Kubernetes workload optimization, and cloud efficiency in partnership with the teams responsible for those systems
Requirements
- Minimum of 5 years of production software engineering experience, including demonstrated technical leadership and ownership of backend systems
- Hands-on production experience with Node.js and Python
- Hands-on production experience with relational and non-relational databases
- Strong understanding of high-traffic APIs, distributed services, and the networking and dependencies that affect their behavior
- Experience making engineering decisions that improve reliability, high availability, performance, and maintainability
- Ability to independently scope ambiguous technical problems, assess tradeoffs, coordinate dependencies, and drive implementation through production rollout
- Strong communication skills with technical and nontechnical stakeholders
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent relevant experience
