Staff Backend Engineer

Remote · Global · Full-time

Design and deliver backend systems that institutions trust — APIs, domain services, and data integrity at staff-level depth. You raise craft through architecture, reviews, and calm operational ownership.

The role

As Staff Backend Engineer at AdvanzoTech, you lead the design and implementation of server-side systems for products and client platforms. You care about domain boundaries, transactional integrity, performance under realistic load, and interfaces that remain stable as requirements evolve.

You mentor senior peers, drive technical decisions in writing, and stay close enough to production to respect operators. Your work compounds: fewer brittle shortcuts, clearer contracts, and systems that endure leadership and regulatory cycles.

Responsibilities

  • Lead backend architecture and delivery for critical product and client services.
  • Design APIs, domain models, and data stores with integrity, auditability, and evolution in mind.
  • Establish testing, observability, and performance practices that keep production honest.
  • Conduct and elevate code and design reviews across engineering teams.
  • Mentor engineers and partner with platform and product on durable technical direction.

Requirements

  • Staff-level experience building and operating backend systems in production at meaningful scale.
  • Deep fluency with at least one major backend ecosystem (e.g. PHP/Laravel, Node, Python, or equivalent) and relational data design.
  • Strong grasp of distributed systems concerns: consistency, idempotency, queues, and failure handling.
  • Ability to write clear technical proposals and facilitate constructive design critique.
  • Track record of mentoring and raising engineering standards without gatekeeping.

Nice to have

  • Experience with event-driven architectures, OpenTelemetry, and multi-service deployment on Kubernetes.
  • Background in regulated or high-assurance enterprise delivery.
  • Familiarity with Laravel, PostgreSQL, Redis, and API-first product platforms.
