The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Serve as a senior engineer on a compact product engineering group, covering backend and full-stack work. You will take features from idea to release, shape data design and platform dependability, and guide engineering practices alongside colleagues in product, design and sales.
What you'll do
- Evolve the infrastructure behind a large-scale automated processing platform, with attention to dependability, orchestration and speed.
- Own a system that organizes and removes duplicates from generated findings so they stay useful over time.
- Collaborate with product, design, AI, front-end and sales colleagues to understand customer needs and translate them into new capabilities.
- Guide database design and query performance across relational and analytical stores as usage and workloads increase.
- Carry features from initial scoping through to live release, including analytics functionality and tooling for automated agents.
- Establish and maintain team conventions for code quality, interface design and schema design to speed up delivery and reduce defects.
- Lift the team's backend and data design practices through example and mentoring.
