Senior Back End Engineer

We seek a highly skilled and passionate Senior Backend Engineer with a passion for startups and a genuine interest in ML and Data to join our team at Forwrd.ai.

What you’ll do:

• Design, plan, and build all aspects of the platform’s backend components.
• Take leadership and pursue the best, state-of-the-art solutions within the dynamic requirements and timelines.
• Take E2E ownership of all aspects of the development cycle, from designing and implementation to fully owning production and measuring the impact and value of your deliveries on our customers.
• Mind quality and efficiency—invest time when needed to run better and faster.
• Focus on continuous growth and improvement while delivering value to our customers.

Who you are:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with cloud technologies (on AWS or a cloud provider) - designing, developing, and maintaining scalable, distributed, data-driven production SaaS systems with live customers.
• Proficient with server-side technologies (preferably Java and Python) in a distributed architecture (e.g., microservices) and working with relational / non-relational (like MongoDB) DBs.
• Experience with big / distributed data concepts and experience in related tech stacks (Open file format like Parquet, Athena, or other distributed Query engine alike, async data processing/pipelines, SQL and NoSQL databases, etc.) - a big advantage
• Experienced with software engineering best practices and keen for automation (e.g. unit testing, code reviews, design documentation, CI/CD, etc.).
• Highly self-motivated – a problem solver with a “get-things-done” approach.
• Team player with excellent communication skills.
• Ability to work under pressure and with a sense of urgency
• Experienced with working in an agile, dynamic, fast-paced working environment.

This is a rare opportunity to be a part of a team working on something new and innovative, with a potential for significant professional growth.

Working at an early-stage startup in a fast-paced environment can be exciting. You can make a real impact on the company's direction!

Our office is in the heart of Tel Aviv, next to a train station and central bus lines.

We encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity at Forwrd.ai!
