Description

  • Design and build scalable backend systems powering Veda’s API and internal services.
  • Own projects end-to-end from scoping and design through implementation, testing, and production delivery.
  • Collaborate with product and infrastructure teams to modernize technical debt into maintainable, highly available systems.
  • Write clean, well-tested code and maintain strong CI/CD hygiene.
  • Deploy, monitor, and scale services in production using cloud tooling such as AWS or GCP.

Requirements

  • Proven experience delivering production systems end-to-end from scoping to production.
  • Strong programming skills in Python or another modern backend language such as Go, Rust, Java, or C++.
  • Solid understanding of REST APIs, relational databases such as Postgres or MySQL, and service-based architectures.
  • Experience with Git, unit/integration testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure and containerization tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Experience participating in an on-call rotation or owning production systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to design scalable systems and refactor legacy components.
  • Experience in fintech, crypto, or other high-availability systems is preferred.

  • Contributions to open-source projects or technical leadership on significant internal initiatives are preferred.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees.
  • Health coverage support for international contractors through local or global plans.
  • Flexible time off with no vacation tracking.
