Role Overview As a Senior Backend Engineer II in the Platform team, you own shared backend services that every Ajaib product depends on, such as identity, notifications, configuration and API gateways, from design to production. You design for many users and many teams, keep services reliable and secure under real traffic, and mentor engineers around you. Design, build and run scalable, secure shared backend services and APIs used by many product teams. Own larger services end to end, including monitoring, alerting, on-call follow-up and support for the teams that use them. Design APIs that stay stable: clear contracts, versioning, backward compatibility and safe deprecation. Build and improve identity and access features, such as sign-in, sessions, tokens, permissions and account security. Make shared services resilient: rate limiting, graceful degradation, isolation between consumers and safe rollouts. Improve observability with useful metrics, logs and traces, and set service level objectives with the teams that depend on you. Lead design reviews and give thoughtful code reviews. Investigate production incidents, run root cause analysis and ship lasting fixes. Mentor mid-level engineers and share knowledge within the team. Work with product engineering teams, Security, Infrastructure and Architecture to turn requirements into reliable solutions.
