As a Senior Backend Engineer within our Product Foundation Tribe, you'll play a key role in laying a secure, compliant, and efficient foundation that enables the rest of the organization to innovate with confidence. Your work will directly impact Scalable’s foundational product components, ranging from user authentication to our client onboarding journey and our internal backoffice platform.
We're looking for bar-raisers - engineers who go beyond the code to influence the direction of our products. Your curiosity will lead you to explore customer needs firsthand, contributing to a team that values a business mindset. As we deal with a user base in the millions, we place a strong emphasis on process optimization, aiming to constantly improve how we manage our work and serve our customers.
Our engineering DNA is woven from a few vital strands: diversity, lifelong learning, humility, hard work, ownership, and collaboration. We welcome individuals from all cultural backgrounds, enriching our already diverse environment. The right person should demonstrate an intrinsic motivation to learn continuously, stay updated with trends, and apply new knowledge innovatively. Ownership is key, too; we look for individuals ready to take responsibility and accountability for their tasks. And finally, we need collaborators - those who take responsibility for the health and success of the team, are comfortable leading from any position, and are unafraid to have serious conversations when necessary.
