Your RoleThe company is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the Integrations & Platform team. The successful candidate will play a critical role in building the backbone of the platform. They will design smart, scalable backend systems that power complex integrations with government and enterprise partners,



eliminate manual operational work, and set the team up to move faster with less friction.
The initial focus will be on the most technically demanding integration: a bidirectional sync system that requires sophisticated error handling, async workflows, and operational automation. The engineer will build the infrastructure and patterns that not only solve this specific challenge but become the foundation for how the company approaches integration reliability and operational excellence platform-wide.
It is a hands‑on, high-impact role where the candidate will see immediate results — fewer production issues, faster support resolution, and systems that scale confidently — while building expertise that positions them to drive platform initiatives across the growing infrastructure.
Your 30/60/90 Day PlanFirst 30 Days – Learn and Integrate
Build relationships with engineering, customer success, and support teams who interact with the integration systems daily
Deep dive into the most complex integration: understand the bidirectional sync architecture between the platform and external partners (APIs, data models, async workflows, error patterns)
Get hands‑on with the debugging tools: MongoDB queries for async job tracking, CloudWatch Logs Insights for distributed tracing, SQL queries for data validation




Ship first small fixes or improvements: resolve straightforward integration bugs or improve observability in one workflow
Days 31–60 – Own and Execute
Take ownership of the first major automation initiative: eliminate a category of manual support work
Build and deploy backend services and Lambda functions that reduce manual intervention in the integration pipeline
Implement comprehensive observability: structured logging, metrics, and alerting for the automation so issues surface before support tickets
Work with the support team to validate the automation eliminates manual work and identify the next highest-impact opportunity
Document runbooks and create internal tools that empower non-technical team members to diagnose and resolve common issues independently
Collaborate with external partners (vendor systems) on any API changes or coordinated deployments needed for the automation
Begin identifying patterns and infrastructure that could be reused across other integrations or platform systems
Days 61–90 – Lead and Amplify
Measure and communicate the impact of the automation: reduction in support tickets, decrease in manual intervention time, improvement in data consistency or error rates
Participate in architectural discussions and planning for other platform initiatives — bringing expertise in reliability patterns, async workflows, and operational excellence
Mentor other engineers on the patterns and infrastructure built, establishing oneself as the go‑to person for integration reliability
Present a technical deep-dive to the broader engineering team on what has been learned and built
