As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will work closely with all members of your squad, and the Staff engineer of your group. Bi-monthly rituals with your group and the Backend Chapter will allow you to share what works for your squad, learn what works for others, and make sure your technical direction is aligned with the overall vision.Main technical challenges

Building a set of efficient and loosely coupled services is one of the main challenges to face for the years to come. But teams are excited to independently control their release schedules, manage their data, SLAs, tools, and - ultimately - be responsible for their own service-offering. Meanwhile, Platform teams are working to provide a scalable, consistent and secure platform, one that makes engineering teams more productive.As a Senior Backend Engineer, the challenge is three-fold:Ensure a seamless transition with zero downtime and no revenue lossReduce complexity while increasing adaptability of the codebase in the context of new country openingsGuarantee high performance and reliability of production environmentsOur technical environment
