The Role

In Viva, we are currently looking for a Backend Developer. 

The Backend Development team’s mission is to ensure Viva.com’s backend systems are robust, secure, and scalable. We focus on introducing new features and optimizing the codebase by integrating new tools, libraries, and architecture improvements that boost system performance, reduce technical debt, and enhance developer productivity—all while driving competitive advantages for our platform. As a Backend Developer, you’ll dive deep into complex projects, writing efficient, maintainable code, and solving challenging problems. You’ll be expected to work autonomously and in a team, contribute to and review pull requests, provide technical guidance to other developers, and actively participate in code refactoring efforts. Collaboration is key, so you’ll work closely with architects to shape system designs, product managers to align on business goals, and engineering leads to ensure delivery quality across the Technology Group. 

Responsibilities: 
 

• Design, build, test, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable code. 

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including architects, product managers, and other developers, to deliver robust and efficient solutions. 

• Optimize and refactor code, ensuring the backend systems are secure, maintainable, and aligned with best practices. 

• Research innovative technologies to find new and efficient ways to solve day-to-day challenges. 

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues, ensuring high availability, performance, and security across all backend services. 

• Contribute to system architecture discussions, driving improvements in system design, scalability, and performance. 

• Contribute in the implementation and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines to streamline deployments and ensure smooth integration of new features.
