About the role

As a senior backend engineer at Kite Retail you design the services, APIs, and data models that keep the product honest under load. You will work with product and infra — not through a ticket queue — and you will be evaluated on a skills assessment plus an expert interview, not a keyword scan.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build backend services, APIs, and data models.
  • Own features end-to-end: spec, implementation, rollout, and production follow-through.
  • Keep isolation, backpressure, and idempotency as first-class constraints.
  • Review designs and delete work that does not earn its keep.

Requirements

  • 5–9 years building backend systems in production.
  • Strong distributed systems and SQL depth — you have operated multi-tenant services.
  • Comfortable owning on-call, instrumentation, and operational quality.
  • Clear written design: you can explain a trade-off without a slide deck.

  • A hiring process you can see — role assessment, expert interview, written trail.
