About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Design, build and run backend services and internal tooling for the ML platform in Go and Python, owning delivery, monitoring and on-call.
  • Drive technical research and design for new platform features; evaluate and document trade-offs.
  • Build and extend deployment tooling and SDKs for ML model serving, autoscaling and data capture.
  • Integrate ML services with the wider backend using synchronous HTTP/gRPC and asynchronous Kafka/RabbitMQ communication.
  • Support the full ML delivery cycle with data scientists and ML engineers, including model and pipeline CI/CD, monitoring and performance metrics.
  • Build end-to-end observability with metrics, logs, dashboards, tracing, alerting and runbooks.
  • Write infrastructure as code with Terraform and Terragrunt and ship it through reviewed pull requests.
  • Participate in code and design reviews, raise engineering standards, and mentor engineers.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 5+ years of commercial backend engineering, including high-load systems.
  • Strong Go: you know and have used its advanced features in production.
  • Solid Python for data processing (batch, streaming and async) and for service code.
  • Strong SQL: schema design, indexes, query optimisation, and scaling approaches such as replication and partitioning.
  • Experience with Redis or similar key-value stores.
  • Experience with sync and async service communication (HTTP, gRPC, Kafka or RabbitMQ), with a focus on reliability.
  • Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and working Kubernetes knowledge.
  • Experience with AWS/GCP core services (compute, storage, networking, IAM).
  • Understanding of the ML lifecycle: data preparation, model performance metrics, non-functional requirements, and concept drift in production.
  • Familiarity with scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow.
  • Experience designing and running observability: metrics, logging, dashboards, tracing (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK or similar).
  • Git workflows and code review.
  • Comfortable Linux command line.
  • Networking basics (TCP/IP, DNS, VPC, load balancers).
  • Ability to explain a trade-off clearly to a data scientist, a product owner and an on-call engineer.
  • Nice to have: hands-on experience with MLOps tooling such as Databricks, SageMaker, Kubeflow, MLflow or Airflow.
  • Nice to have: GPU or LLM inference experience (vLLM, Triton, Langfuse).
  • Nice to have: experience using AI coding agents with full review of generated changes.
  • Nice to have: experience in emerging markets or building where there is no playbook yet.
  • Nice to have: experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools.

Benefits

Comp & perks
  • Real scale and real constraints: models serving a global fleet, GPU budgets that matter, LLM workloads reaching production.
  • A strong backend engineer can grow into the MLOps domain here. We will teach you the platform side; you bring the engineering craft.
  • Help us challenge injustice by creating fair choices for millions of people across 48 countries.
  • Develop your professional skills with access to mentoring, career consulting, and learning programs.
  • Collaborate with teams around the world and gain international experience through our Global Talent Exchange Program.
  • Engage in company-wide challenges, awards, sports activities, employee-led social impact and volunteering projects.
  • Work alongside people who take initiative, speak openly, and challenge themselves to grow.
  • Improve your language skills through co-financed courses and internal speaking clubs.
  • Final benefits may vary depending on the location.
