About the Role At Jumio, the Software Development Engineer IV - QA (SDE-IV, QA) is a senior technical role focused on ensuring the quality, performance, and reliability of highly scalable web portals and distributed backend systems. Our platform spans multiple Java Spring Boot microservices and customer-facing web portals , deployed across AWS ECS, EKS, and Lambda , and integrated through event-driven messaging using SNS/SQS . In this role you will design and drive the test automation strategy for both UI (Playwright) and API/service layers, set the quality bar for the team, and act as a force multiplier — mentoring other engineers and embedding quality earlier in the development lifecycle. You will work closely with development, product, and DevOps teams to ensure our products meet the highest standards of quality, scalability, and security.

The Opportunity We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help us reinvent Postman's Notifications Platform for the next generation of AI-powered, agent-driven experiences.

They need to be contextual, intelligent, reliable, and deeply integrated into how users interact with the platform. You'll play a key role in building the foundation that makes that possible. This isn't a role focused on maintaining an existing system. It's an opportunity to rethink and rebuild a critical platform from the ground up that will power notification experiences across Postman for years to come. You'll have significant influence over the platform's architecture, reliability, and developer experience, working closely with teams across the company to build something scalable, intuitive, and easy to adopt.

Who you are You are an experienced Infrastructure Engineer Engineer who owns backend infrastructure end to end. You design multi-tenant, microservices-based systems that other engineering teams build on, and you make deliberate architectural tradeoffs around consistency, latency, scale, and cost. You are comfortable going deep — service mesh internals, database internals, distributed-systems failure modes — and equally comfortable defining the reliability and security contracts an enterprise AI platform depends on. Responsibilities Design, own, and evolve scalable microservices architectures on Kubernetes across GCP, Azure, and AWS, including multi-tenant isolation (namespaces, network policies, per-tenant resource quotas and RBAC). Build core platform and data-plane components in Golang and Python — data ingestion, knowledge-base indexing and vector/graph search, application connectivity, workflow automation, and ML operations — against explicit latency and throughput SLOs. Own service-to-service communication: gRPC/protobuf API contracts, service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), load balancing, retries, timeouts, and circuit breaking.
