About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Infrastructure Engineer to help shape and scale the foundation of Macroscope’s platform. You’ll play a key role in designing and implementing the distributed systems, infrastructure, and APIs that power our core product. You’ll lead projects focused on backend scalability, reliability, and performance—ensuring that our systems can evolve alongside customer demand. You’ll also partner closely with the rest of the engineering team to establish best practices in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and production monitoring. As part of our small team, you’ll work directly with the founders, engineers, and designer to make architectural decisions that will define the trajectory of our product and company.

Requirements

• Deep experience architecting and operating distributed backend systems at scale.
• Expertise in building resilient, performant, and maintainable backend services and APIs.
• Strong proficiency with cloud environments, ideally Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including networking, IAM, monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or equivalent).
• Experience leading backend or infrastructure projects and driving architectural decisions in high-growth engineering teams.
• Hands-on experience with databases (SQL/Postgres), caching layers, and messaging systems.
• Familiarity with observability tools and practices (logging, metrics, tracing, alerting).
• Strong experience with Go (our primary backend language) is highly preferred.

Nice To Haves

• Background in building or integrating AI/ML systems (LLMs, RAG) is a plus.
• Bonus: exposure to Temporal as a worker management system.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement distributed systems and infrastructure for Macroscope’s platform.
• Lead projects focused on backend scalability, reliability, and performance.
• Establish best practices in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and production monitoring.
