Senior Backend Engineering Manager Jobs

About the Role We’re looking for Senior Backend Engineers to work on both Product and Product Platform based teams. Product focused Engineers work at the intersection of product and infrastructure to solve key business problems with elegant technical solutions. You'll operate our backend services and architecture that support all product functionality and will be challenged to consider the big picture -- collaborating cross-functionally, as well as evaluating and executing on trade-offs to maximize business impact for the company. We expect Senior Engineers to be able to own projects end-to-end and mentor their junior and mid level peers. This role is hybrid with some in-office time expected and will report to an Engineering Manager. You're excited about this opportunity because you will... Develop, release and run large-scale web applications Develop and define the backend architecture and tech stack for a product area Improve performance, reliability, scalability and security for our backend systems Be involved in transitioning our monolithic codebase to a microservice-based architecture Completely disrupt logistics by tackling bleeding-edge, technical problems We're excited about you because you have... B.S., M.S., or PhD. in Computer Science or equivalent 5+ years of industry experience Prior experience working with backend tech stacks Proficiency in using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) in the full software development lifecycle, including designing, generating code, testing, monitoring and releasing software Ability to analyze and improve efficiency, scalability, and stability of various system resources Experience with service oriented architecture, writing REST API’s, unit testing, and architectural design Understanding of modern web stacks and architecture (HTTP, REST) Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases and other technologies (e.g. Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ) About DoorDash At DoorDash, our mission to empower loca

About Us OpenFX is on a mission to move money as freely as data, unrestricted by time zones, banking hours, or legacy systems. We are building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions. The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable pace. Our stellar early team comes with experience in companies like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, PayPal, Affirm, Polygon, Kraken, Nium & others. We're backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NfX and other top-tier investors. Role Overview We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer for our Payments team. This is the senior-most individual contributor role on the systems that move money across borders — payment orchestration, corridor and partner integrations, FX and quoting, the payment lifecycle from initiation to settlement confirmation, and the regulated controls (safeguarding, transaction monitoring) that our EU licenses demand. It is a hands-on technical leadership role on the money path, where a new corridor is only as good as its failure handling, and a regulatory control is only as good as the evidence it produces. The cost of a defect is measured in real money, stuck customer payments, or a finding from a regulator. You will report to an Engineering Manager and work closely with engineers, product, compliance, and partnerships across the company. You will set the technical direction for payments, lead the hardest corridor and orchestration problems, and raise the bar for how we build. This role requires someone who has built and operated payment or other correctness-critical systems in production, ideally against external partners whose behavior you do not control. If your experience is limited to systems where occasional data inconsistency is acceptable, where every dependency was internal and well-behaved, or where you have not owned something end to end for a meaningful stretch, this will be a stretch. Key Responsibilities Own the technic

About Us OpenFX is on a mission to move money as freely as data, unrestricted by time zones, banking hours, or legacy systems. We are building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions. The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable pace. Our stellar early team comes with experience in companies like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, Paypal, Affirm, Polygon, Kraken, Nium & others. We're backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NfX and other top-tier investors. Role Overview We're hiring a Tech Lead for our Hedging team — the team that owns the risk OpenFX carries. Hedging owns inventory and exposure management, risk management, hedging positions across venues through smart routing strategies, market making, Cost, PnL and net revenue calculation. Every trade a client places creates exposure, and this team decides what we hold, what we hedge, where we hedge it, and what it costs us. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a management role. You will not own headcount, performance reviews, or hiring decisions. What you own is the technical direction, quality bar, and execution coherence of the Hedging team's work — the Risk Management Engine, Smart Hedging, and the position and PnL layer underneath them. You and the Engineering Manager operate as a closely coordinated pair: the EM owns the people, the process, and the delivery plan; you own how the work is designed, how quality is held, and how technical decisions get made day to day. You should expect to write code. The strongest Team Leads here lead through design, review and judgment, but their credibility comes from building. We're specifically looking for someone with a trading background — you've led or built systems where a position had to be accurate and a hedge had to fire in time, and where a bug meant real money. Think a crypto exchange, brokerage, or trading platform (CoinDCX, Groww, CoinSwitch Kuber, or similar

Orchestrate a hybrid model stack that includes OpenAI and Google Gemini alongside self-hosted and fine-tuned LLMs like Gemma and Llama. Build and maintain integrations with clinical systems (FHIR, EMR). Drive observability and reliability using OpenTelemetry, Datadog, and Langfuse. Design APIs (GraphQL, REST), background workers, and event-driven systems that interface with AI inference engines and agent runtimes. Collaborate with Data Science, ML, and engineering teams to deploy AI features and improve the performance, scalability, and reliability of backend systems. Participate in code reviews, knowledge sharing, and mentoring to elevate the team’s technical capabilities.

At Playlist, life's richest moments happen when people step away from screens to move, connect, explore, and play. We're building the definitive platform for intentional living, connecting people with inspiring experiences in fitness, wellness, and beyond. With popular brands like Mindbody and ClassPass, Playlist empowers businesses and individuals, making it effortless for aspirations to become actions.

Innovation and curiosity drive our culture, connecting businesses and individuals through cutting-edge solutions. Join us if you're passionate about enhancing wellness through technology. About the Role Every consumer experience Mindbody ships is built on top of our consumer platform. The platform is the shared foundation that lets our front-end squads deliver reliable, consistent wellness experiences without rebuilding the plumbing every time. This role exists to answer a deceptively simple question: what does the consumer platform need to become so that front-end squads can move fast on solid ground — and how do we get there from a legacy monolith without breaking the surfaces that depend on it today? This is a senior individual-contributor role for a product leader who is equally comfortable in two rooms: designing API contracts and service boundaries with a senior backend engineering team, and making the cross-surface platform calls that keep multiple consumer squads pulling in the same direction. You'll own the consumer platform roadmap, partner closely with engineering and your downstream partner squads, and be measured on how much faster and more reliably the rest of consumer can build because of the foundation you've shaped. What you'll do Own the consumer platform strategy and roadmap. Define the capabilities the platform must provide so consumer s
