Software Backend Engineer Jobs

Role Overview You’re a hands-on backend engineer who enjoys owning features end to end and working on real products that customers rely on every day. In this Software Engineer II role, you’ll help build and evolve a Third Party Risk Management SaaS platform using Laravel and PHP, designing scalable APIs and services that keep performance and reliability front and center. You’ll work in a product-focused team that owns its services from architecture and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. You’ll mentor junior engineers, influence technical decisions, and use modern AI-powered tools thoughtfully to ship better code faster. If you’re looking for a mid-level role with real ownership, modern tooling, and the chance to grow your impact, this is for you. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff) Design, build, and maintain backend features and RESTful APIs in Laravel within a modern TALL stack environment. Own well-defined stories from implementation through deployment, monitoring, and iteration, ensuring performance and reliability. Contribute to architectural discussions and technical decisions that shape the Third Party Risk Management platform. Review code, improve test coverage, and strengthen CI/CD and engineering standards across the team. Mentor Software Engineer I colleagues through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing. Use AI tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate coding, debugging, testing, and documentation—while critically validating outputs and ensuring safe, responsible use. These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience in an agile, fast-paced environment. Strong experience with PHP and Laravel, ideally within the TALL stack (Tailwind, Alpine.js, Laravel, Livewire). Solid understanding of relational databases (MySQL or MariaDB), including data modelling and query optimisation. Experience designin

We're looking for a Senior Platform Reliability Engineer who brings strong software engineering skills and a deep understanding of system behavior under load and stress. This role is a good fit for someone who wants to own reliability as a first-class concern – building the foundational systems that protect Asana's platform, not just responding when things go wrong. You'll build core platform systems like load shedding, rate limiting, circuit breakers, and traffic controls that protect Asana under real-world load. This is deep, cross-cutting work that shapes stability and performance of our entire infrastructure – and you'll partner closely with other platform teams to make reliability something that's built in, not bolted on. Our tech stack includes: AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), CloudFront, Istio, Cilium, MySQL (RDS), OpenSearch, DynamoDB, Redis, Terraform, Datadog, TypeScript, Scala, Go, and Python. (Yeah, we know this sounds like buzzword bingo – but we want this post to actually show up in your searches.) Why this role? Reliability as a first-class feature : You won't be patching things up after the fact. You'll build the systems that make Asana resilient by design. Foundational work : Load shedding, traffic management, ingress/egress – these are the building blocks that protect everything else. You'll own them. Strong collaboration, reasonable hours : You'll work closely with infrastructure teams in Warsaw and Reykjavik, making deep collaboration practical without constant timezone gymnastics. Room to grow : This is a new team, and you'll help shape what Platform Reliability Engineering looks like at Asana – whether that means leading projects, mentoring others, or defining our technical direction. In this role, success means shipping systems that other teams rely on by default – because they make the platform safer, not because they're mandatory. We're especially interested in people who think like backend engineers but obsess over failure modes, capacity plan

Karya is building the data infrastructure for the next generation of AI. We work across languages and real-world contexts to create high-quality datasets and evaluations, while creating meaningful digital work for underserved communities. We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to take ownership of important parts of our platform and help shape the next generation of Karya’s engineering infrastructure. This is a role for someone who enjoys being given a difficult problem and figuring out how to solve it. You’ll work closely with the Head of Engineering and have significant autonomy over the systems you own, from architecture and implementation through production and iteration. What You'll Do Much of the infrastructure we build has constraints that are uncommon in conventional software systems. Karya operates across multiple geographies, with different requirements, environments, and network conditions. Our systems need to work reliably even when connectivity is limited or intermittent, while still supporting a centralized platform that can scale across countries without becoming a collection of country-specific systems. You’ll work on problems such as: Building backend infrastructure that can operate reliably across very different environments and geographies. Designing systems that cannot always assume a reliable network, including resilient data transfer and eventual synchronization. Evolving our existing architecture as the platform grows, making the right trade-offs between simplicity, performance, reliability, and scale. Building infrastructure and developer tooling that increases the leverage of the engineering team. Solving problems across APIs, data systems, distributed systems, integrations, performance, security, and reliability. The interesting part is that there often isn't an established pattern to follow. You’ll need to understand the constraints, make good technical decisions, and build pragmatic solutions. What You'll own You’ll own m
