Design and own backend services that have to stay reliable and fast under massive, unpredictable consumer traffic. As a Senior Software Engineer – Backend at Talentica, you’ll build distributed, microservices\-based systems in Go and Node.js, solving engineering challenges such as high availability, asynchronous event\-driven architecture, and system design at global scale. ### **What You'll Own** * Design and implement scalable, distributed backend systems that serve millions of consumers globally. * Own critical services within a microservices architecture, delivering complex features against timeline, quality, reliability, and performance expectations. * Optimize backend systems for reliability, scalability, security, and performance. * Partner with Product Managers, Designers, Architects, QA, and SRE to align engineering delivery with business outcomes. * Define and promote engineering best practices across software design, code quality, automated testing, CI/CD, and DevOps. * Contribute across the full SDLC — analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and post\-production support. * Participate in production monitoring, incident response, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement. ### **What We Need** * 6\+ years of backend engineering experience with strong hands\-on proficiency in Go and Node.js. * Strong system\-design and architectural experience building scalable, highly available products and services. * Extensive experience with RESTful APIs, microservices, distributed systems, and asynchronous event\-driven architectures. * Strong understanding of HTTP protocols, API design, relational and NoSQL databases, caching, messaging, and Linux systems. * Hands\-on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes. * Experience working in Agile delivery environments using iterative and incremental development practices. * Good to have: familiarity with Ruby on Rails, ReactJS, or other modern frameworks (advantageous but not mandatory). ### **Why It's Worth Your Time** * You'll bring AI\-assisted tools into your daily Go and Node.js development and debugging workflow. * Owning critical services in a system built for millions of consumers globally is how you'll grow into a senior distributed\-systems architect. * You'll be guided by hands\-on senior engineers and architects who review your system design decisions closely, and help you grow. * You'll be surrounded by talented peers with strong educational backgrounds, and pushed to sharpen your distributed\-systems instincts working alongside them. ### **About Talentica** Since 2003, Talentica has built software exclusively for tech companies — from early\-stage startups to large, established enterprises. We've partnered with startups from their earliest stages through to successful acquisitions, doing the kind of deep product and engineering work that moves a company's valuation, not generalist consulting or staff augmentation. Our \~600\-person team is among the strongest in the industry, drawn heavily from the IITs and NITs — which means the software you'll build is genuinely differentiated, and the work is demanding enough that you'll keep learning regardless of how senior you are.
