Description

  • Redesign and optimize data models, queries, and indexing strategies across MongoDB, Firestore, and ElasticSearch.
  • Own ElasticSearch reliability, including ingestion, indexing, shard strategy, and query performance for billions of documents.
  • Eliminate bottlenecks and improve replication health while keeping query and index latency predictable.
  • Define data flow and integration boundaries between storage, cache, and APIs with clear contracts and fault isolation.
  • Build observability into data paths through metrics, traces, slow query logs, replication lag monitoring, and cluster health dashboards.
  • Enforce testing standards across backend modules, including unit, integration, and load testing.
  • Drive RFCs, ADRs, and design reviews to improve clarity, precision, and repeatable engineering practices.
  • Write code, design systems, and debug production issues as a hands-on technical leader.
  • Mentor engineers through reviews, feedback, and setting technical standards that scale beyond individuals.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of backend engineering experience with deep database expertise.
  • Proven success with ElasticSearch, MongoDB, or Firestore at massive scale.
  • Strong understanding of indexing, query optimization, caching, and consistency models.
  • Expertise in Node.js with TypeScript and experience designing scalable microservices.
  • Cloud experience with GCP services such as GKE, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Tasks, or similar distributed infrastructure.
  • Practical knowledge of observability tools such as Grafana, Kibana, and OpenTelemetry.
  • Commitment to code quality, documentation, testing discipline, and design rigor.
  • Track record of shaping team culture through RFCs, ADRs, and clear technical writing.
  • Experience with ElasticSearch cluster management, multi-tenant indexing, or lifecycle policies is preferred.
  • Familiarity with ClickHouse or other OLAP systems, event-driven systems, data pipelines, or message brokers is a plus.
  • Contributions to open source or public technical writing on database performance or systems design are preferred.

Benefits

  • Remote-first work environment.
  • Opportunity to work on a global platform serving over 2 million businesses.
  • Hands-on ownership of large-scale, mission-critical systems.
  • Equal Opportunity Employer commitment.
