Backend Software Engineer
Remote, Hybrid
Engineering
Full-time
We’re looking for a Backend Software Engineer to join our team and help build the core systems that power our platform. As a backend engineer, you’ll design and implement robust services, optimize distributed systems, and work across our infrastructure to ensure our product is fast, scalable, and reliable. You’ll be deeply technical, but also comfortable collaborating cross-functionally — with product, customer success, and platform engineering teams.
This is not a maintenance or bug-fix role — it’s about architecting real systems, solving hard distributed systems challenges, and shaping how our backend evolves as we scale.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs that power our platform
Develop scalable, resilient systems using .NET, Kubernetes, NATS, and modern cloud tooling
Architect and optimize distributed workflows, messaging patterns, and internal service communication
Integrate LangChain and related frameworks to support advanced automation and intelligent system behavior
Collaborate closely with product and engineering to translate requirements into technical designs
Drive backend performance, reliability, and observability across systems
Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and operational readiness planning
Contribute to internal tooling, developer experience improvements, and service automation
Requirements
3+ years of experience in backend engineering or a similar software development role
Proficiency in .NET or a similar typed backend language (e.g., Go, Java)
Strong understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native design
Experience with Kubernetes, containerized services, and modern CI/CD practices
Familiarity with messaging systems (e.g., NATS, Kafka, RabbitMQ)
Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and systems-level thinking skills
Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Bonus (but not required)
Experience with LangChain, generative AI, or intelligent automation
Prior experience designing high-throughput or real-time systems
Contributions to open-source backend or infrastructure projects
Experience working in startup or scale-up environments
Familiarity with .NET performance tuning and distributed tracing
Why This Role
If you thrive on solving deep technical challenges, designing distributed systems, and building high-performance backend services — this role puts you at the center of our platform’s evolution. You’ll have the autonomy to architect meaningful components, the opportunity to shape our technical roadmap, and the support of a world-class team.
Why CodeCargo
You’ll be joining a team of engineers, product thinkers, and builders who have successfully exited startups and know how to build things that scale. At CodeCargo, we’re solving hard problems with elegant tools — and giving developers superpowers along the way.
CodeCargo is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
