As a backend engineer, you'll design and implement robust services, optimize distributed systems, and work across our infrastructure to ensure our product is fast, scalable, and reliable. You'll be deeply technical, but also comfortable collaborating cross-functionally — with product, customer success, and platform engineering teams. This is not a maintenance or bug-fix role — it's about architecting real systems, solving hard distributed systems challenges, and shaping how our backend evolves as we scale. Responsibilities Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs that power our platform Develop scalable, resilient systems using .NET, Kubernetes, NATS, and modern cloud tooling Architect and optimize distributed workflows, messaging patterns, and internal service communication Integrate LangChain and related frameworks to support advanced automation and intelligent system behavior Collaborate closely with product and engineering to translate requirements into technical designs Drive backend performance, reliability, and observability across systems Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and operational readiness planning Contribute to internal tooling, developer experience improvements, and service automation Requirements 3+ years of experience in backend engineering or a similar software development role Proficiency in .NET or a similar typed backend language (e.g., Go, Java) Strong understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native design Experience with Kubernetes, containerized services, and modern CI/CD practices Familiarity with messaging systems (e.g., NATS, Kafka, RabbitMQ) Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and systems-level thinking skills Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment Strong written and verbal communication skills Bonus (but not required) Experience with LangChain, generative AI, or intelligent automation Prior experience designing high-throughput or real-time systems Contributions to open-source backend or infrastructure projects Experience working in startup or scale-up environments Familiarity with .NET performance tuning and distributed tracing Why This Role If you thrive on solving deep technical challenges, designing distributed systems, and building high-performance backend services — this role puts you at the center of our platform's evolution. You'll have the autonomy to architect meaningful components, the opportunity to shape our technical roadmap, and the support of a world-class team. Why CodeCargo You'll be joining a team of engineers, product thinkers, and builders who have successfully exited startups and know how to build things that scale. At CodeCargo, we're solving hard problems with elegant tools — and giving developers superpowers along the way. CodeCargo is an equal opportunity employer.
