Encord - Senior Software Engineer - Backend

• You've seen and built a lot. You have personally developed and maintained multiple systems from scratch, and you know what trade-offs are involved in building reliable, performant software at speed • You want your work to have a tangible outcome for people. You're not satisfied with building products that do not see the light of day • You are a builder. You enjoy all aspects of building not only software but a complete product, and are comfortable moving across the stack when necessary • You enjoy problem-solving and thinking from first principles, reach for the simplest solution that works, and know when boring technology wins • You're happy to tackle problems without a predefined, clear definition or obvious solution, and are excited to have autonomy to make decisions as you go • You understand that being a member of a high-performing team requires two things. You contribute your best work and help others contribute their best. You'll always lend a helping hand when needed and level up those around you • 5+ years building large-scale backend infrastructure applications • Deep fluency in at least one high-level language (we use Python and TypeScript, but we care more about depth than the specific language) • Solid grounding in distributed systems concepts (databases, replication, partitioning, queuing, caching) and how they behave under load • Experience owning services in production and improving quality through code reviews, testing, rollout, and monitoring • Experience with data migrations or re-architecture projects is a plus • We are technology-agnostic at Encord and are not looking for experience across all of these. As long as you're open to learning, please apply. • Backend: Python • Frontend: TypeScript and React • Deployment: Kubernetes • Infrastructure: GCP • Machine learning: PyTorch, CUDA, Ray
