About the role
As a senior backend engineer at Atlas Freight 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.
