Senior Backend Engineer- Routing Data

Required Senior Backend Engineer- Routing Data
Tel Aviv
We are using technology to transform transportation around the world. From changing a single persons daily commute to reducing humanitys collective environmental footprint - weve got huge goals.
As a Senior Backend Engineer in the Routing team, you will be responsible for designing, building, and scaling the backend systems that power our core products. Youll work on high-impact, distributed services that manage geospatial data, large-scale databases, real-time events, and mission-critical workflows used across multiple teams and regions. Your work will directly influence system reliability, performance, and developer productivity at scale.
You will collaborate closely with Product, Infrastructure, Data, and other engineering teams to define system boundaries, evolve shared services, and ensure our backend platform can support rapid product growth. You will be part of a highly skilled and motivated engineering group responsible for building robust, scalable, and maintainable backend systems that operate in real time and at high load.
What Youll Do:
Design, build, and scale backend systems and data pipelines that power our GIS and mapping platform, from initial design through production deployment and long-term ownership.
Own features end-to-end with strong accountability, including design, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance.
Develop and maintain Python-based data pipelines that ingest, process, and transform large-scale OpenStreetMap (OSM) and other geospatial datasets.
Model, store, and query complex geospatial data using PostgreSQL and PostGIS, including road topology, zones, polygons, points, and other business-critical spatial entities.
Optimize database schemas, spatial indexes, and queries to efficiently handle large datasets and high-throughput workloads.
Build and maintain backend services and APIs that expose geospatial and mapping data to other backend services, frontend applications, and data consumers.
Collaborate closely with other backend teams, frontend teams, data teams, and infrastructure to align on data contracts, system boundaries, and cross-team initiatives.
Improve system reliability, observability, and performance through monitoring, alerting, benchmarking, and continuous optimization.
Contribute to architectural decisions, technical standards, and best practices, while mentoring other engineers and raising the overall engineering bar.
