About the Role:
This is a Kotlin backend engineering role supporting large-scale supply chain and warehouse systems. You’ll join an established engineering team responsible for building and enhancing backend services that support operations across 50+ warehouses.
The work is hands-on, complex, and integration-heavy—ideal for a senior engineer who enjoys deep backend problem-solving, high-volume APIs, and event-driven architectures. This is not a greenfield environment. You’ll be improving and extending systems that already operate at scale.
Job Description
As a Backend Engineer, you will contribute to the development and support of scalable backend services that drive critical supply chain and warehousing operations. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional partners across engineering, data, and product teams while delivering reliable, high-performance solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and enhance backend services that support warehouse operations, planning, productivity, and visibility
- Develop and maintain high-throughput APIs (500K+ calls) used by internal systems
- Implement complex integrations using Kafka and API-based data sources
- Work with Postgres to manage and optimize operational data
- Break down business and technical requirements into clear, executable engineering tasks
- Support supply chain and warehouse data pipelines with a focus on reliability and performance
- Write high-quality, testable code using unit, integration, and automated testing practices
- Collaborate closely with product partners, data providers, and other backend engineers in an agile environment
Qualifications
Required
- Strong proficiency in Kotlin with 5+ years of hands-on backend software engineering experience
- Strong, production-level Kotlin expertise (complex language features required)
- Experience building and supporting complex APIs in distributed systems
- Solid experience with Postgres and advanced SQL
- Experience with Kafka or similar messaging systems
- Proven experience with testing practices, including unit, integration, and automated tests
- Ability to work effectively in an existing codebase and improve systems at scale
- Experience in supply chain, logistics, or warehouse systems
- Background in heavy system-to-system integrations
- Experience supporting high-availability, operational backend services
