Job Description

Adeva is a global talent network connecting tech professionals with top companies to drive boundaryless work and impactful projects. We’re partnering with an innovative client in legal technology, building AI-driven tools that enhance efficiency and accessibility for legal professionals. Join us in developing solutions that streamline workflows and handle high-volume data with user-centered design.

Position Overview: Staff Backend Engineer

As a Staff Backend Engineer, you’ll be at the core of designing, building, and maintaining backend systems that support our client’s high-volume, high-availability platform. You’ll collaborate with front-end engineers, product managers, and leadership to deliver efficient, scalable, and secure backend solutions. This role is ideal for an experienced backend engineer passionate about creating systems that support complex workflows and large datasets.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and optimize backend services and APIs using backend languages like Python, Go, or Node.js, ensuring high performance, scalability, and reliability.
  • Contribute to a resilient backend architecture, leveraging Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and managing microservices-based designs for platform stability and performance.
  • Build and maintain efficient data storage solutions with SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis), optimizing for high-volume data, security, and performance.
  • Collaborate closely with front-end engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to ensure cohesive, high-quality product delivery that aligns with strategic goals.
  • Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices with tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi to automate and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Uphold code quality through peer reviews, automated testing frameworks, and adherence to best practices in CI/CD using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or similar tools.
  • Proactively troubleshoot and resolve performance bottlenecks, scalability challenges, and technical issues across the backend stack.

Qualifications

  • 6–8 years in backend development, with a track record of building and maintaining large-scale, production-grade applications.
  • Deep expertise in backend technologies, data storage solutions, and cloud infrastructure for performant, scalable solutions.
  • Strong analytical skills for diagnosing complex issues and optimizing performance.
  • Collaborative communicator, able to work effectively within cross-functional teams.
  • Experience in mentoring junior engineers, fostering a culture of growth and excellence.
